Changing sides. The Russian volunteer troops fighting alongside Ukrainian forces still play an important role in the war for Kyiv — Novaya Gazeta Europe
Images of armed troops on the streets of a Russian border village flooded social media in mid-March. The men, kitted out in helmets and bulletproof vests, were not Ukrainian — but neither were they part of the Russian military. Drone footage showed the soldiers gathering around a local administration building and tearing down the Russian tricolour. Later, as the men gathered for photos, the flag lay trampled beneath their feet.
