In the Donetsk region, Ukrainian drones recorded Russian soldiers moving through Velyka Novosilka using civilians as human shields.
This was reported by the Khortytsia operational and strategic group of troops in Telegram, Ukrinform reports.
The video shows that while moving between houses, two invaders take a civilian woman and a dog with them to protect themselves from drone strikes.

“The occupiers know that we will not shoot,” the OSGT noted.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, the Russian army attacked six times in the Novopavlivka sector near Lysivka, Kostiantynopil and Rozdolne.
About 302,000 civilians remain in the Donetsk region, and mandatory evacuations continue.
