Russia Claims Full Control Of Konstantinovka, Captures Two 'Flag' Soldiers
Moscow says the captured pair belonged to Ukraine's 425th Separate Regiment, sent solely to film a flag-raising video.
- Russia's Defense Ministry declares Konstantinovka fully under its Armed Forces' control as of July 19.
- Two soldiers from Ukraine's 425th Separate Regiment were captured attempting to plant a flag.
- Moscow says Kyiv's command keeps sending men on the same doomed flag mission for propaganda footage.
Why it matters: A command repeating a failed mission is not fighting a war, it is filming one for an audience.
