Denis Kapustin, who described himself as the commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps, spoke to reporters on the Ukrainian side of the border with Russia a day after Moscow said it had repelled the raid on the Belgorod region. Fighters posed holding weapons and flags of two anti-Kremlin militias, the Russian Volunteer Corps and the Freedom of Russia Legion.

They also flaunted an armoured vehicle they claimed was a Russian-manufactured military vehicle and denied reports they used US-manufactured armoured vehicles and weapons. Both militia groups claimed responsibility for the attacks on Belgorod.
