Incursions into Russian territory by "partisan" militiamen who oppose Vladimir Putin and support the Ukrainian resistance continue.

The secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov spoke on TV of new actions in three Russian regions, after what Moscow called "saboteur operations in the Belgorod region".

“There will be progress in other border regions of Russia until Putin's criminal regime ends its war against Ukraine. Russians will not feel safe in any corner of the Federation,” Danilov said.

“Bryansk, Kursk, Voronezh and other regions cannot be safe given the number of Russian citizens who are against the regime,” Danilov added.

“The night was not entirely peaceful. There have been numerous drone strikes. The majority

part of the air defense systems held, but there is damage in Belgorod: cars, private houses, buildings,” the governor of the Belgorod region of Russia Vyacheslav Gladkov reported on Telegram.

Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said during a defense conference in London that Ukraine's Western allies are ready to support the country in the war "for years" . Sunak added that Russia's strategy of “wait and people (in the West) will get tired, they will get bored. . . it will not work".

As for the next steps, said the British premier, "we are now conducting a conversation with the allies on which long-term multilateral and bilateral security agreements we can implement with Ukraine".
