Occupiers attempted six times to raise the Russian flag in Toretsk, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces eliminated them each time.

Russian soldiers made six attempts to raise their flag in the city of Toretsk, Donetsk region. They were eliminated by Ukrainian troops.

This is reported by RBK-Ukraine with a link to the OSUV "Khortytsia."

According to military sources, in the Kramatorsk and Toretsk directions, Russian soldiers, supported by artillery and various types of drones, continued to assault our positions in the urban areas of Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, and near Shcherbynivka.

Additionally, in Toretsk, to create a favorable narrative for Russian propaganda television channels and media, the occupiers attempted to plant the aggressor country's flags in different locations six times.

As a result of our drone operators' efforts, the Russian tricolor flags were destroyed along with their "flag bearers."

According to the spokesperson for OSUV "Khortytsia," Viktor Trehubov, and the spokesperson for OTU "Luhansk," Dmytro Zaporizhets, the city of Toretsk in the Donetsk region continues to remain under the control of Defense Forces.
