  "account": "The Main Intelligence Agency (GUR) of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has extended its congratulations to the Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC) on the fourth anniversary of its establishment. Comprised of Russian citizens who volunteered with weapons in hand to support Ukraine in its struggle against the Kremlin regime, the RVC has recently integrated into GUR's Tymur Special Unit. The unit has been involved in various combat operations, including raids across the state border into the Bryansk region, combat operations in the Belgorod region, boat landings on the left bank of the Dnieper River, and the storming of the Vovchansk aggregate plant, among others. GUR's Telegram post highlighted that these operations, along with many others, have been part of the RVC's four-year combat path. The agency further noted that the RVC's fighters continue to carry out complex military intelligence tasks in the most challenging sectors of the front. GUR's statement emphasized that the origin and passport of an individual do not determine whose side they are on; rather, it is the choice to support Ukraine or resist a dictatorship that truly matters. The Kremlin regime, according to GUR, considers an armed Russian individual who consciously supports Ukraine as a particularly dangerous adversary.",
