Russia accuses Ukraine of cross-border attack in Bryansk

Al Jazeera  

President Vladimir Putin has said Russia was hit by a “terrorist attack” in the southern Bryansk region bordering Ukraine, and vowed to crush what he said was a Ukrainian sabotage group that had fired at civilians. Russia’s FSB security service said “Ukrainian nationalists” had been pushed back over the Ukrainian border. “In order to avoid civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure, the enemy has been pushed into Ukrainian territory”, the domestic security service said in a statement carried by Russian news agencies. Senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Mykhailo Podolyak, said on Twitter: “The story about Ukrainian sabotage group in RF is a classic deliberate provocation.” He said Russia should “fear your partisans”.
