Who had Russians invading Russia to free Russia from Russians on their bingo card?
Dang I know my popcorn is around here someplace.
This is very much an evolving story. Members of the Free Russian legion, who work alongside Ukraine to stop the invasion of Ukraine, reached the Russian border and breached it. In the process they killed some probably very confused border guards.
As of now, they have taken 3 towns and battling for Grayvoron, capturing the police headquarters and vehicles. The story out of Russia now is that anyone in a Police uniform in the area is a potential target as being part of this legion.
The wife of the Mayor of Belgorod was sighted at the airport, mass evacuations are under way. I actually know a guy from Belgorod, it is the region that produces the most eggs for the Russian market. With the biggest chicken egg laying farm enterprise in Russia( 1 billion eggs per annum) and the second largest (850 million eggs per annum). So the region is certainly of significance to Russia.
There were reports of the Free Russia Legion being just 4km from Russia’s nuclear missile depot. It seems, though, that these are transportable tactical nukes and have been moved away, rather than a strategic missile silo.
