Russian dictator Vladimir Putin made a false statement against the background of the breakthrough of the fighters of the Legion "Freedom of Russia" (LFR), Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC) and the Siberian Battalion(SibBat) in the Belgorod and Kursk regions.

Putin couldn't explain to Russians why Russia's army fled away under the pressure of volunteers

According to the Kremlin's head, the raid’s aim by the RVC, LFR, and SibBat on the Russian Federation's territory is to disrupt the "presidential elections" on Mar.17 and prevent the "normal process of expressing the will of citizens."

This is the first. The second is the information effect, which I have already mentioned. But the third thing is if at least something works out, to get some chance, some argument, some trump card in a possible future negotiation process: well, we'll give it back to you, and you give it back to us.

In addition, the head of the Kremlin began to cynically lie that such attacks are taking place "against Ukraine's failures on the contact line" and are designed for "information effect".

Putin did not specify precisely which "failures" of the Armed Forces he invented.

Moreover, he did not explain to the Russians how the RVC, LFR, and SibBat managed to take control of one populated place of the Russian Federation in a matter of hours while the Russian army in Ukraine spent many months on this process.

The dictator also lied that there were foreign mercenaries among the volunteers who broke through the Russian border on March 12.

Here on the state border, the enemy tried to attack, first of all, with sabotage groups — here is the latest report of the general staff — about 300 people, including foreign mercenaries, Putin said.

You can learn more about the RVC, its fighters, and its ideology by watching Online.UA's documentary about the Russian Volunteer Corps, "The White Moth is Dead!"

The RVC Commander Nikitin addressed Russians

Late at night on Mar. 12, the RVC Commander Denis "Rex" Nikitin recorded a powerful address to citizens of Russia.

He noted that the upcoming elections in the aggressor country are "circus", and Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin will rule for the next six years and "until his death".

Our task is to tell the citizens of Russia that an illegitimate president rules them. And after another circus election, he will rule them for another six years, maybe even longer, until his death. Our task is to bring his death closer... not only to Putin but to his entire bloody Kremlin regime.
