Military raise Ukrainian flag over villages in gray zone in Kharkiv region (video)
Border guards of the Steel Frontier Offensive Guard Brigade have raised a blue and yellow flag over three settlements in the gray zone in Kharkiv region.
This was reported by the State Tax Service.
We are talking about settlements located near the state border with Russia in the so-called “gray zone”, namely the villages of Shabelne, Pishchane and Degtyarnoye. The territory of the destroyed villages is densely mined and uninhabitable due to constant enemy shelling.
“However, the border guards of the Steel Frontier Offensive Guard Brigade control the area and remind the enemy that this is our land and he has no place here,” the post says.
