The name Belgorod in Russian literally means "white city", compounding the sememes "белый" (bely, "white, light") and "город" (gorod, "town, city"). The city was thus named after the region being rich in limestone. Etymologically, the name corresponds to other Slavic city names of identical meaning: Belgrade, Belogradchik, Białogard, Biograd, Bilhorod, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi etc.
Records first mention the settlement in 1237, when the Mongol-led army of Batu Khan ravaged it. It is unclear whether this Belgorod was located at the same place where the current city stands. In 1596 Tsar Feodor Ioannovich ordered its re-establishment as one of numerous forts set up to defend Southern borders from the Crimean Tatars. In the 17th century it suffered repeatedly from Tatar incursions, against which there was built (from 1633 to 1740) an earthen wall, with twelve forts, extending upwards of 200 miles from the Vorskla to the Don, and called the Byelgorod line. In 1666 the Moscow Patriarchate established an archiepiscopal see in the town.
'Ukrainian missile' strikes Russian apartment building in Belgorod
A Ukrainian missile hit an apartment block inside Russia, the Kremlin said as cross-border attacks intensified.
Footage showed a large section of the 10-storey block in Bolgorod, which has been under Ukrainian attack for months, hit by a projectile and later collapsing.
At least seven people were killed and more than a dozen injured, Moscow claimed. The Telegraph could not immediately able to verify the Russian claims.

Ukraine Opens Up on Belgorod || Peter Zeihan
From the beginning of the Ukraine War, the Western nations have placed restrictions on how their weapons donations to Ukraine can be used. Specifically, Western nations have been concerned that if Ukraine targets Russian forces within Russia, escalation may be unavoidable. But recent events have forced a change of calculus in the West.

Moment Russian warplane accidentally drops bomb in Belgorod, Russia
Moment Russian warplane accidentally drops bomb in Belgorod | This is the astonishing moment a Russian warplane accidentally bombed its own city of Belgorod near the Ukrainian border in a humiliating blunder by Vladimir Putin's forces. Video shows the Su-34 fighter jet mistakenly dropping the bomb in the middle of a road in the city on Thursday night before the ammunition exploded into a huge fireball. The blast, which tore through the road, narrowly missed moving cars as well as an apartment block in Belgorod, which is about 15 miles from the Ukrainian border. The large explosion left a huge 70ft crater in the middle of the road and damaged homes and roads. Two women were injured in the blast, with one being hospitalised. Video footage from the site showed piles of concrete on the street,...

Russia says it has killed 70 armed insurgents who crossed the border from Ukraine.
Professor Michael Clarke says that claim "looks credible".
He added there didn't seem to have been much fighting as "it is not as if these characters have been shooting up these villages or engaging with a lot of Russian soldiers".
