Russian Volunteer Corps warns: We will do everything to prevent any Putin elections in border areas

Fighters of the Russian Volunteer Corps will make efforts to ensure that no sham elections of Russian president Vladimir Putin take place on the territories bordering Ukraine.
Russian Volunteer Corps Commander Denis Nikitin said this in an interview with UP. Pidsumky media outlet.
"I believe that the fighters of the Russian Volunteer Corps will do everything to ensure that there are no elections in the areas bordering Ukraine. Perhaps this can be considered one of the goals of our current operation", he added.
Nikitin said that Russian Volunteer Corps fighters can influence and show people that what is planned in Russia is not an election but a farce, and this is one of the political tasks of Russian volunteers.
Nikitin also mentioned that after each similar operation, more and more Russians expressed the desire to join the ranks of the Russian Volunteer Corps.
"Every such operation proves that it is possible and necessary to fight against the Putin regime exclusively with weapons. Not toothless actions like lanterns in the night sky or whatever the Russian opposition has been doing for the last 20 years. None of that works. The death of Alexei Navalny only convinced everyone of our righteousness. Only armed resistance.
And the Russian Volunteer Corps shows what this armed resistance looks like, what a real struggle for the future of Russia looks like. A large number of people are watching us, seeing our successes, and finding the courage to join our fight", he added.
Another group called the Sibir Battalion said on social media that "As promised, we are bringing freedom and justice to our Russian land." They called on the population in the areas where the battles were going on to leave those places. They also said that this is for security purpose.
Recently, soldiers of the Freedom of Russia Legion, the Russian Volunteer Corps and the Siberian Battalion have reported that they have crossed the Russian border. The military volunteer groups have posted an address online, and a video has appeared on Telegram channels purporting to show military personnel firing their weapons on Russian territory.
