History
Russian invasion of Ukraine
In May 2023, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the governor of Belgorod Oblast, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said that Ukrainian "sabotage groups" entered Grayvoronsky District. Ukrainian media reported that the cross-border excursion was performed by the rebel opposition groups, the Russian Volunteer Corps and the Freedom of Russia Legion. The Freedom of Russia Legion claimed it captured the villages of Kozinka and Gora-Podol.[3][4][5][6] They later got forced out of the villages.[7][8][9][10]
