Russian propagandists have released a video showing Russian military equipment storming forward with Russian and US flags. In response, the Office of the President of Ukraine called this the height of insolence.

"How are we to understand this? Russian propagandists are showing a video in which Russian equipment is storming with Russian and US flags," head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrii Yermak says.

As Yermak notes, the Russians are using the symbols of the United States in their terrorist, aggressive war with the killing of civilians.

"The utmost insolence," adds the head of the Office of the President.

Situation on front

Recently, Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers repelled a Russian assault in the Orikhiv direction in the Zaporizhzhia region. Russians used tanks and other equipment for the attack.

In the Pokrovsk direction, the Russian army is using the so-called thousand cuts tactic. About 50 assaults are recorded there every day.

According to the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, Russian statements about their ability to wage war for years do not correspond to reality and are just bravado.

He noted that even in the event of a freeze in the conflict or the conclusion of a peace agreement, Ukraine must constantly take care of developing its defense capabilities.
