Lozovaya Rudka
Lozovaya Rudka (Russian: Лозовая Рудка; Ukrainian: Лозова Рудка) is a rural settlement (khutor) in Borisovsky District in Belgorod Oblast of western Russia, at some hundred metres northwards of the Ukrainian border.
On 12 March 2024, during an incursion, Freedom of Russia Legion, Russian Volunteer Corps and Sibir Battalion claimed to have gained control of the settlement, and issued a joint statement the following day (some days before Russian presidential election on 15–17 March 2024) urging "...everyone to leave the cities immediately...".
