Russian special forces pass exams shelling Ukrainian border regions

This is reported by the Center for National Resistance.

According to sources from the temporarily occupied territories, Russian special forces and scouts are arriving at the border with Ukraine. These are young fighters who are undergoing training and exams while killing Ukrainian civilians.

"The nature of the actions of the newly arrived groups indicates that they are mostly training companies practicing training tasks and taking exams in the border areas of the Sumy and Chernihiv regions," the statement says. 

In particular, a training company of the 607th Special Forces Center of the Russian Guard (Zheleznovodsk), formed in 2018 from the 17th Avangard (formerly Edelweiss) and 242nd Reconnaissance Battalion (Zelenokumsk), arrived in the Glushkovo area of the Kursk region of Russia.

• On August 12, soldiers of a separate mechanized brigade detected a Russian sabotage and reconnaissance group. The Ukrainians repelled the attack.
