The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on an operation to drop propaganda leaflets over Ukrainian positions near Krasnoarmeysk (Ukrainian name — Pokrovsk). The mission was carried out by drone operators from the «Center» group of Russian forces.

During a reconnaissance flight, a Russian UAV identified Ukrainian positions, military equipment sites, firing points, and troop movement routes.

Following this, the decision was made to conduct a psychological operation. Russian quadcopter drones dropped leaflets on the enemy’s positions. In them, the Russian command outlined the difficult situation Ukrainian troops found themselves in and urged them to end futile resistance and bloodshed, surrender voluntarily, and thus preserve their lives.

The Ministry of Defense added that the leaflets, released from drones flying at high altitude, scatter over a wide area, allowing them to cover Ukrainian deployment zones and movement routes.
