Russia: Belgorod border region probably shelled by Ukraine. Moscow claims Ukrainian forces wanted to fly to Russia in a helicopter.
Moscow blames neighboring Ukraine, against which Putin has been waging a brutal war of aggression for more than two years. In fact, paramilitary organizations often appear to be behind the attacks. Although they fight on the Ukrainian side, they consist primarily of Russian nationalists. However, the damage and number of victims are generally disproportionate to those in Ukraine, which was attacked by Russia.
