This is the best summary I could come up with:
The large flag, attached to dozens of helium balloons, was released from the Ukrainian-controlled town of Avdiyivka on Sunday by the military.
It eventually flew over Russian-occupied Donetsk City in eastern Ukraine, where Russian soldiers attempted to shoot it down, Barabash told national television, The Kyiv Independent reported.
Ukraine’s defense ministry did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
I had a lot of messages from people living in the occupied territory, who told me they are waiting for the liberation of Donetsk."
Footage of the flag flying over various parts of the Russian-occupied city was published by the Telegram channel Typical Donetsk.
Barabash’s comments come amid elections in other Moscow-occupied territories, including Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia.
