Russians storm with US flag: Yermak called it maximum audacity

According to glavcom.ua: Russian propaganda decided to highlight its 'activity' with a showy video in which occupiers travel in a stolen American vehicle with Russian and US flags. This took place in the vicinity of the village of Mala Tokmachka in Zaporizhzhia. Andriy Yermak, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, condemned these shameless actions, calling them audacity and provocation.

Information on missile and airstrikes by the occupiers

Illegal armed formations conducted four missile strikes and 80 aerial attacks on Ukrainian territory yesterday. As a result, 152 guided bombs were released during these attacks. The use of 5132 kamikaze drones and 5173 shelling incidents against Ukrainian military positions and civilian settlements was also recorded, including 73 strikes from multiple launch rocket systems.

The spread of videos with occupiers and the American flag, along with large-scale shelling by the occupiers, indicates a further escalation of the situation in Eastern Ukraine and the Russian side's intention to demonstrate its power and absurdity.
