As RIA Novosti clarifies, the flag was installed near the memorial to those killed in the Great Patriotic War.
“All men, now we will plant a flag in the village of Vesyoloye (DPR), which was recaptured from the Ukrainian Armed Forces by our guards-paratroopers, honor and praise to them! Glory to the Airborne Forces! — the unit commander told the agency on the spot.
It is clarified that in this way the fighters dedicated this victory to their grandfathers and great-grandfathers who fought against fascism.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense published a video of the assault on the Ukrainian military during the liberation of the village of Vesely in the Donetsk People's Republic.
