Ukrainian media reported that the cross-border excursion was performed by the rebel opposition groups, the Russian Volunteer Corps and the Freedom of Russia Legion. The Freedom of Russia Legion claimed it captured the villages of Kozinka and Gora-Podol.[3][4][5][6] They later got forced out of the villages.[7][8][9][10]
