Quote: "The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine is assisting volunteer formations. Supporting the actions of the Freedom of Russia Legion, the RVC and the Sibir (Siberian) Battalion is also Ukraine's duty. 

These people came to help Ukrainians liberate themselves from Russian occupiers and demonstrate courage and heroism on many fronts, directly participating in serious operations. Therefore, Ukraine should obviously also assist those Russians who are fighting against the Putin regime to free Russia."

He added that Russian volunteers have brought in all reserves for combat operations.

Background: On 19 March, the authorities of Russian Belgorod Oblast reported their intentions to evacuate 9,000 children from the oblast due to periodic attacks on the area.
