Russian flag taken down from school in Hirnyk, Donetsk region - DeepState

This was reported by DeepState.

According to the Ukrainian military, the flag was not raised by a DRG (diversionary reconnaissance group), but by a pro-Russian local.

"Overall, the approaches to Hirnyk are still under control, but the situation is challenging as the Russians are gradually erasing the town," DeepState stated.

• Artem Lysohor, head of the Luhansk Military District Administration, reported that Russian forces are attempting to break through Ukrainian defenses near Makiivka and Nevske.
