"Georgian Legion" Participates in Invasion of Kursk Oblast

About 120 members of the "Georgian Legion" (recognized as a terrorist organization in Russia) are participating in the capture of districts of the Kursk Oblast of the Russian Federation as part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was reported by the American portal WAR Zone, citing a source familiar with the situation.

The Georgian soldiers are called "volunteers helping Ukraine." In Russia, it was decided to try the captured members of the legion as mercenaries and terrorists. Their unit has been participating in the battles for Ukraine since 2014.

Today, the situation in the Kursk Oblast has been recognized as a federal emergency, the Russian Emergencies Ministry reported. On August 6, Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters, supported by heavy equipment, broke through the Russian border in the Kursk Oblast. They captured many settlements and part of the Sudzhensky district of the region.
