The Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to transfer hostilities to Russian territory.

Recently, there has been an increase in shelling of Russian territory and attempts by enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups (DRGs) to penetrate the Russian-Ukrainian border. The well-known Russian military commander Alexander Sladkov wrote about such an aggravation.

According to Sladkov, Ukraine appears to be seeking to move the fighting into Russian territory, which could be a variant of a previously announced offensive operation by the Ukrainian armed forces. The military commissar noted that at first, Ukrainian reconnaissance UAVs began to fly into the border regions of the Russian Federation. Shortly thereafter, attack drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine appeared, carrying out strikes on military targets, while reconnaissance UAVs continued to fly deep into Russian territory.

Sladkov stressed that the missiles supplied to Ukraine by NATO countries, which promised to exclude such possibilities, are already entering the territory of the Russian Federation. Moreover, he pointed out that Ukrainian drones are now "attacking the Kremlin, strategic aviation bases and other military installations throughout the Western part of Rus'."

In addition, attempts to directly seize Russian territories have already been recorded. Sladkov said that these were, according to functionaries, sabotage raids of the enemy, but if the enemy had not been ousted from the Belgorod region, this could have led to the presence of other units of Ukrainian troops.

In his post, the military commander does not disclose details regarding the reaction of the military, security forces and special services to these incidents, however, he notes that they are trying to drag Russia into a full-scale conflict.
