The head of the Grayvoronsky urban district of the Belgorod region, Gennady Bondarev, said that as a result of the actions of the Ukrainian DRG on May 22, at least 500 houses were damaged. He added that the members of the DRG act independently, but the Main Intelligence Directorate maintains contact with them.

He also said that every bullet is tracked by the U.S. and other Western countries, but not by the DRGs. The DRG is responsible for the attack on the village of Kozinka, where 13 people were killed.
