Two residents evacuated from a Russian village that borders Ukraine in the southwestern Belgorod region claim Russian soldiers looted their homes.

In public comments to regional Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov, the residents alleged that Russian troops sent to guard their village of Novaya Tavolzhanka had instead broken into their houses.

Several thousand people were evacuated from the area when Russian volunteers opposed to the rule of President Vladimir Putin launched cross-border raids late in May.

"Military personnel of the Russian Federation break into many houses (although the state of emergency has not been introduced and they do not have the right to enter private homes)," one of the residents, Natalya Chemerchenko, told the governor in a post Thursday on the VK social media site."They live in our homes, lead an ugly lifestyle, alcohol and other things remain in the form of garbage and dirt, toilets and houses are polluted, personal belongings and property are stolen."We do not want our houses, which have already suffered from the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to be now still a haven for the outrages of our defenders!"Vladimir Zhdanov, the head of the administration of the Shebekino district, told Chemerchenko in a reply that her "appeal has been forwarded to the Security Council."

Another comment, which was written Wednesday, claimed that Russian soldiers were living in a home that a family had fled.

“Two houses were broken into, one door was broken with a crowbar, windows were broken," according to local resident Danil Bilych."All things were turned over, they were looking for small precious things, some of them were stolen, there were acts of vandalism in one of the houses, TVs were broken, furniture was ripped up. Soldiers obviously live in the house."Other comments in response to the governor have focused on an alleged lack of social support that had been pledged to residents who were evacuated.

"We are located outside the Belgorod region, in the city of Zelenograd. For a week I have been trying to get answers, how can we receive the payment? We have two children, we do not live, we survive! Thanks to the volunteers from Moscow, at least they bring food!" one comment said.
