Ukraine-Russia Border Tensions Escalate with Accusations of Cross-Border Raids.

Russia claims to be battling a cross-border incursion by a Ukrainian "sabotage group" in what appears to be one of the biggest attacks of its kind since the war began last year. However, Ukrainian military intelligence cites two armed Russian opposition groups, the Liberty of Russia Legion and the Russian Volunteer Corps, both consisting of Russian citizens, as having carried out the attack. Meanwhile, Ukraine aims to trap Russian forces in the eastern city of Bakhmut, with both sides claiming momentum in the ongoing conflict.
