Anti-Putin émigré group claims its fighters crossed into Russia after Kyiv dismisses reports as ‘false flag’ attack
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Putin would plan to hold a meeting of the security council, Russia’s main military decision-making body, on Friday. Peskov said he had also cancelled a trip to Stavropol.In remarks during a conference, Putin also alluded to the attacks as “yet another terror attack, another crime”. He accused the alleged infiltrators of deliberately opening fire on civilians.
“The story about [the Ukrainian] sabotage group in [Russia] is a classic deliberate provocation,” wrote Mykhailo Podolyak, a Ukrainian presidential adviser. Asked whether Russia could change the status of its “special military operation” after the reported attacks, Peskov said: “I don’t know. I can’t say for now.”One video appeared to show Denis Kapustin, a far-right Russian football hooligan who founded the Russian Volunteer Corps, in a video taken in front of a medical clinic in Liubechane, a village in Bryansk near the Ukrainian border.
“I never thought that the Russian border even during a war would be as leaky as these Z patriots,” Kapustin wrote in another post, posting a photo with another man in military gear on a forest road.
