Lineage & institutional history
Formal parent institution: Ukrainian military structures (International Legion framework)
Campaign involvement
Cross-border incursions into Belgorod and Kursk regions
A recurring campaign of raids into Russia's Belgorod and Kursk border regions by Russian formations fighting on Ukraine's side — the Freedom of Russia Legion, the Russian Volunteer Corps and, in 2024 reporting, the Siberian Battalion — peaking around the March 2024 Russian presidential election. Distinct from the August 2024 Kursk incursion, which was conducted by regular Ukrainian forces.
