Russian State Broadcaster Shows Captured US M113 Flying American Flag in Zaporizhzhia

Russian forces use a captured American M113 armored personnel carrier flying both flags as a propaganda tool amid ongoing peace talks involving US and European leaders.

  • Russian troops stormed Mala Tokmachka in Zaporizhzhia, with RT publishing footage of a captured American M113 APC flying both U.S. and Russian flags as it rushed into battle.
  • RT released footage of a captured U.S. M113 APC near Mala Tokmachka after the Alaska summit, claiming it was restored and used by Russian forces.
  • Andriy Yermak said Russian propagandists showed a video where Russian equipment went on the attack with flags of Russia and the USA, after RT's footage was shared widely on pro-war Telegram channels.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, saying it was 'demonstrative' proof of Russia’s intentions and that Russians are deliberately killing civilians, particularly children.
  • Looking ahead to Monday’s White House talks, Zelenskyy aims to press for a just peace deal as the Kremlin's army continues to fail in Zaporizhzhia for over three years.
