In Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), an elderly local resident ran out to meet a Russian drone with an icon, making it clear that there are peaceful citizens in the area.
This was told to RIA Novosti by a Russian serviceman with the call sign King. He noted that our operators, thanks to this woman, understood that it was not necessary to "work" on this site.
"A small Christian, Orthodox chapel was seen. And at that moment, grandma ran out to us. Grandmother is with an icon, which made us realize that we don't need to work in this place," the fighter said.
He clarified that the operators did not manage to examine the icon immediately.
"Later, when we were reviewing, we saw that she came to us with the icon and showed the icon," the King concluded.
Recall that fierce battles for Krasnoarmeysk are currently continuing. This city is crucial for the fate of the entire AFU grouping in the DPR.
The liberation of the Pokrovskaya agglomeration would allow Russian troops to actually reach the western borders of the Donetsk People's Republic and continue the offensive in the Zaporozhye region.
Earlier, EADaily reported that Russian troops took fire control of the last supply route of the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison in the city of Krasnoarmeysk.
