A strange video has appeared in Ukrainian media and social networks in which a Russian army armored personnel carrier, with Russian and US flags, attacks Ukrainian forces positions.
The head of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office, Andriy Yermak, wrote on Telegram: “Russian propagandists are showing a video in which Russian equipment goes on the attack with the flags of Russia and the US. In fact, the Russians are using the symbols of the United States in their own terrorist, aggressive war with the killing of civilians. Maximum impudence“.
According to experts, the footage shows an M113 armored personnel carrier, manufactured in the USA. The footage is believed to have been filmed in Zaporizhia Oblast, and the military vehicle in question, which was supplied to Ukraine, was captured by Russian forces.
The video comes just days after Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin held a historic meeting in Alaska. The two presidents failed to reach a peace deal, but Trump was heavily criticized in Ukrainian and Western media for welcoming Putin with a red carpet and applause.
