Around 9,000 children will be evacuated from the Russian region of Belgorod, the local governor said, as Russian volunteers fighting for Ukraine carry out cross-border raids in the region.

The first group of 1,200 children will be evacuated on March 22, Vyacheslav Gladkov, the Belgorod governor, said

The announcement comes after shelling in the region this morning injured three people and left the border district of Grayvoronsky without power, Tass, the Russian state-owned media agency, reported.

  1. Local government has stopped all public transport. Only private vehicle owners can leave. The rest is kept as human shield.

  2. Drone attacks are more likely to be one of the three Russian Nat’l organizations that are fighting for freedom from the Putin Regime. They’re making progress inside of Russia, specifically in the Belgorod area.

  3. They seemed surprised, didn't they get the memo that their dictator started a war with a smaller weaker neighbor. And now the chickens are coming home to roost.

  4. Ukraine is stupid ,cant they realize they are loosing they are only fighting Russia for Nato interests…yet they can never be a member😂 ,its sad how Zelenski is sending these young inexperienced man to die ,for wat? To please the West😢

  5. Хто почав війну,хто бомбив цивільних?
    Скажіть хто цьому радів?
    Всі росіяни.
    40тисяч цевільних загинуло,з них більше тисячі діти.
    І росіяни кричали давай,давй іще,більше смертей і крові.
    Це не народ,це чума яка бажає крові смерті та війни.

  6. Буржуи вот только украинцы бьет по жилым домам в разброс. Цель одна убить побольше мирных. Если ды РФ так наносила свои удары от Украины остался бы один перел
