The FRL and an exiled Russian politician claimed two villages were now in control of "liberation forces".

On Tuesday, the FRL posted what it said was a video from the Russian-Ukrainian border.

"Like all our fellow citizens, in the Legion we dream of a Russia freed from Putin's dictatorship. But we don't just dream: we make every effort to make these dreams come true. We will take our land away from the regime, centimetre by centimetre," an armed FRL soldier in the footage is heard saying.

The BBC has verified the authenticity of FRL footage depicting a strike on an armoured personnel carrier in Tetkino.

The FRL is considered a different sort of organisation that fights alongside Ukrainian troops against Russian forces.
