Budanov: More and more raids on the border areas of the Russian Federation

The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, said in an interview for the NV portal that raids by soldiers of the Russian Volunteer Corps fighting on the side of Ukraine on the border areas of the Russian Federation will become more and more frequent.

The activities of the Russian Volunteer Corps and other units will develop, as will the scale of events related to these activities – said Budanow.

In early September, communications advisor for the Russian opposition and the Russian Freedom Legion, Oleksiy Baranovsky, said in an interview for NV that Russian insurgents were preparing for another attack on Russian territory. According to him, the border regions of the Russian Federation are currently defenseless due to the concentration of Putin's army on the occupied territories in Ukraine.
