Ukrainian Forces Attempt to Raise Flags in Russia-Controlled Territories Using Drones
11:38 GMT 31.12.2025 (Updated: 12:55 GMT 31.12.2025) Ukraine is desperately trying to trick onlookers into believing that it continues to have a military presence in three recently overrun towns by hoisting flags with drones.
Ukraine is using Baba Yaga drones to plant Ukrainian flags in three liberated cities, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
"Against the background of the success of the Russian Army in liberating the Donetsk People's Republic, the Kiev regime is making desperate attempts to convince the population of Ukraine and its Western sponsors of the alleged continued presence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), Dimitrov and Rodinskoye," the ministry said in a statement.
Two reconnaissance and sabotage groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which tried to install Ukrainian flags on the facades of buildings in Pokrovsk and Rodinskoye in the Donetsk People's Republic, were destroyed, the ministry added.
