Russia claims to have blocked 'terrorist' attacks from Ukraine

The Russian Defense Ministry said the Russian military, along with border guards and other units of the Federal Security Service (FSB) , "foiled a new attempt by the Ukrainian authorities to commit a terrorist act against the civilian population of the town of Shebekino."

Accordingly, at around 3:00 a.m. on June 1 (local time), two Ukrainian motorized infantry companies, reinforced by tanks, attempted to enter Russian territory near the Novaya Tavolzhanka settlement and the Shebekino border checkpoint.

However, the Russian Defense Ministry said that three attacks by "Ukrainian terrorist groups" were repelled by Russian troops. Kiev units "suffered significant losses and were repelled... Violations of the state's sovereignty borders are unacceptable," the Russian Defense Ministry said.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the infiltration attempt came after heavy shelling of the area from the Ukrainian side of the border.

The Russian Air Force carried out 11 air strikes, while artillery carried out 77 firing missions against Ukrainian units approaching the Russian border.

The Russian Defense Ministry also said that more than 30 Ukrainian "terrorists" were killed, while four armored fighting vehicles, a Grad multi-purpose rocket launcher and a pickup truck were destroyed.

Shebekino, located about 20km from the Russian-Ukrainian border, has been the target of increasingly fierce attacks from Ukraine this week. Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said shelling in the area had left eight people injured. He added that Kiev forces had been prevented from crossing the border.

The Russian regions of Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk, which border Ukraine, have been the targets of drone and missile attacks by Ukrainian forces since the conflict began.
