This is stated in the a joint statement by the Russian Volunteer Corps, the Legion of Freedom of Russia and the Siberian Battalion.
We are addressing our compatriots: residents of Belgorod, officials of the Belgorod administration, and everyone who can hear us. Putin’s murderers are launching massive attacks on peaceful Ukrainian cities, placing their positions between your homes, your children’s schools and government offices. Every day dozens of innocent people (mostly women and children) are killed by shelling from Belgorod. Shelling of Ukraine from the territory of Belgorod must stop!
The rebels warn that for these reasons they are forced to open fire on military positions in the cities of Belgorod and Kursk.
To avoid civilian casualties, we urge everyone to leave the city immediately. We urge the local authorities to save lives and start evacuating the cities of Kursk and Belgorod regions.
