russia fears new incursions of volunteer formations into its territory ahead of the March 17 presidential election.

Russian military propagandists warn that in the coming days, on the eve of the March 17 presidential elections in Russia, new invasions by volunteer formations may take place, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) writes in its new report, UNN reports .

Details

It is noted that Russia is using conscripts to protect the border with Ukraine from invasions, due to the reluctance to redeploy troops from the front line to other areas. 

According to ISW, Russian military bloggers note that the invasion  of the Freedom of Russia Legion  into Russian territory took place a few days before the March 17 presidential election. 

A number of Russian military bloggers have warned that new invasions may take place in the coming days. 

Recall

On March 12, the Freedom of Russia Legion  announced that they had crossed the border into Russia. Similar videos were posted on their Telegram channels by the RDC and the Siberian Battalion.  

Later, members of the Freedom of Russia Legion announcedthat they had taken full control of the village of Tyotkino in the Kursk region. 

Later, the GUR stated that the Freedom of Russia Legion, the RDC and the Siberian Battalion operate as "independent structures and organizations" on the territory of the Russian Federation and that this is probably a joint operation of these units.
