This is the best summary I could come up with:
The three armed groups of Russian exiled fighters, who operate in close coordination with Ukraine’s military, said they had crossed the border into the southern Kursk and Belgorod regions.
Russia’s defence ministry later in the day said it had foiled the raids and posted a video appearing to show destroyed tanks and armoured fighting vehicles belonging to the pro-Ukrainian fighters.
Readovka, a pro-Kremlin news site with ties to security services, said the pro-Ukrainian battalions had entered the Russian border village of Kozenka in the Belgorod region, where fighting was taking place.
While the cross-border raids are unlikely to result in Ukrainian territorial gains, they could pull Russian troops away from significant battles in eastern Ukraine, where Moscow holds the momentum.
Using several tanks and armoured vehicles, the three groups earlier this week first launched an attack on Tyotkino, a small village located on the Russian border, but soon appeared to have made a retreat back into Ukraine.
The Ukrainian foreign ministry described the voting held in the four territories as illegal and void and called on its international partners not to recognise the results of the presidential elections.
