#1 Moscow running scared: Kremlin evacuates nine border villages and admits there is 'cause for serious concern' as pro-Ukraine fighters capture territory within Russia's Belgorod region

#2 Russians lost Ka-52 and probably Mi-8. Reports that other villages along the border attacked. Amazing and foolhardy to stay so deep a second day. Really thought the raiders would withdraw last night under darkness. Reliant on one road and too easy to cut off and pound from the air. But they have shown the Russian army has been stripped bare to feed the Ukrainian meat grinder.

#3 Seems the raiders have returned to Ukraine. Looking forward to after action reports, or claims there of, from both sides. I assume more raids until Russia diverts troops from/for Ukraine and fortifies the border.
