Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the Council of the National System and Defense, commented on the situation in the Russian Bryansk region, stating that a movement of Russian anti-fascist militias is unfolding in Russia.
"A movement of Russian anti-fascist militias is unfolding in Russia. It is common knowledge that UAVs, armored personnel carriers and other military equipment can be safely bought at Moscow military auctions. Slogan: "DRG, decolonization of the Russian state", Bryansk, 2023," he wrote on his Twitter.
Russian mass media reported that there was a clash with alleged "Ukrainian saboteurs" in the Bryansk region.
According to preliminary data from Russian social networks, "a group of 50 armed people with yellow armbands entered the territory of the village of Susheni, Bryansk region, and took part of the residents hostage. Some managed to escape, others closed in their houses."
It was also reported that "at least a man, a woman and two children are allegedly held hostage."
In addition, the Russian media said that in the border village "a battle is ongoing, explosions are heard".
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the President's Office, said that the story with Ukrainian DRGs in Russia is an absolutely deliberate provocation, in conditions where "Russia wants to scare its own people", and meanwhile the partisan movement in Russia is getting stronger.
We will remind that the "North" OC warned that the Russian occupiers were preparing possible provocations. In particular, the movement of columns of enemy military equipment in the area of the border with the Chernihiv region was recorded.
