The Ukrainian military claims that its troops have retaken the village of Blagodatne in the Donetsk area, and it has shared video purportedly showing soldiers raising the flag of their nation atop a structure.
The 68th Jaeger Brigade ‘Oleksa Dovbush’ released video that it claimed showed soldiers raising the flag of their nation atop a structure.
The brigade also stated that several Russian soldiers were taken prisoner.
The Russian Défense Ministry on Sunday released footage which it claimed shows the “destruction of Ukrainian Armed Forces convoy of military vehicles by attack drones”.
“The UAV operators detected the movement of a column of heavy military vehicles and armoured vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The convoy was targeted by UAVs. As a result, all heavy military vehicles and armoured vehicles were destroyed,” the video description reads.
Russian Défense Minister Sergei Shoigu on Saturday signed a decree according to which all “volunteer detachments” will be required to sign a contract with the Ministry of Défense before July 1 “in order to increase the effectiveness of their use.”
“This will give volunteer units the necessary legal status, create common approaches to organizing comprehensive support and fulfilling their tasks,” said Deputy Défense Minister Nikolay Pankov.
