Freedom of Russia Legion's video in Tiotkino filmed in Ukrainian border village — OSINT researcher
A video posted on the Freedom of Russia Legion‘s Telegram channel, featuring two fighters discussing a battle in the Russian village of Tiotkino, was determined to have been filmed in the border village of Ryzhivka in Sumy Oblast, Ukraine, OSINT researcher Mark Krutov said on X on March 13.
The video was recorded ahead of the assault on Tiotkino, said the FRL spokesperson in a comment to the Ukrainian public broadcaster Suspilne. The FRL members refused to provide video footage from Russian territory to “avoid enemy fire.”
On March 13, the Freedom of Russia Legion, the Russian Volunteer Corps, and the Siberian Battalion, comprising Russian citizens, announced strikes on military positions in Belgorod and Kursk, urging the population of these regions to evacuate immediately.
On March 12, these units crossed the border into Russia and announced the start of an operation to ”liberate the Russian Federation from dictatorship.” According to preliminary data, it is taking place in the Belgorod and Kursk oblasts of the Russian Federation.
