Drone video released by Russian State-Owned Media shows what appears to be a Ukrainian T-64BV disabled by an anti-tank mine at the Nekhoteevka border station. For their part, the Russians claims to have killed 234 fighters and destroyed seven tanks and another three American-built Bradley fighting vehicles.

For their part, the Freedom of Russia Legion, who is believed to be the group coordinating this incursion, has stated that this is just the beginning. “This is only the first day (of the operation). But the elections, as we know, are only at the end of the week… All the most interesting things are yet to come,” Alexei Baranovsky said in an interview with Reuters.
