Ukrainian troops have raised the blue and yellow flag atop a grain elevator in the center of the village of New York, Donetsk Oblast. The footage was published by the DeepState portal on Sept. 7.
It was reported that soldiers from the 2nd Mechanized Battalion of the 53rd Separate Mechanized Brigade hoisted the flag.
“The enemy’s control in the center is also relative, so all previous claims by the Russians about full occupation can be dismissed for now,” DeepState analysts said.
The footage shows the blue and yellow flag on the rooftop of a building and a nearly destroyed village.
