Finally, we see progress in Suja! Raising the Russian flag is a powerful symbol of reclaiming control. Let’s hope this marks the beginning of a decisive victory in the region. 🇷🇺✊
Using drones to locate Ukrainian troops is a smart move. Technology is playing a huge role in modern warfare, and this footage proves it. The situation in Suja looks tense!
Both sides are fighting hard for Suja, but at what cost? Civilians in the area must be suffering greatly. I hope peace talks can resume soon to end this conflict.
This moment will go down in history as a turning point in the battle for Suja. The symbolism of raising flags in the city center cannot be underestimated.
Seeing the Wagner PMC flag alongside the Russian flag is inspiring! These fighters are showing their strength and commitment to defending our homeland. Glory to our heroes! 💪🇷🇺
I fear for the people living in Suja right now. Military operations like this often lead to destruction and suffering for civilians. I hope humanitarian aid reaches them soon.
