Russia has signed an agreement with Belarus to begin deploying tactical nuclear weapons there, and a group of proUkrainian fighters from Russia has attacked sites in the Russian region of Belgorod using what appears to be armored vehicles and Humvees. This crossborder raid was carried out in part by the Russian Volunteer Corps, a group that includes selfavowed neoNazis.
