Instead of a “Flag-Planting” in Kupiansk — a “Flag-Drop”: Russians attempt to create the illusion of control

Fighters of the 41st Separate Mechanized Brigade destroyed a Russian flag dropped on a high-rise building in Kupiansk.

The occupiers dropped the tricolor from a drone to record propaganda footage and create the illusion of control.

“This is just a picture for their internal audience. Where there is a flag, they claim presence — but control remains with the Armed Forces of Ukraine”, — said Major Ruslan Novosad.

The flag was detected by aerial reconnaissance and destroyed by FPV drones. Subsequently, Russian troops hiding nearby were also eliminated.
