The Russians deliberately placed sniper positions next to each other to prevent this
In the Sumy region, border guards destroyed the Russian tricolor, which the occupiers hung on the Ukrainian observation tower. This was reported by the State Border Guard Service in Telegram.
“Our defenders managed to approach the tower with a quadcopter and drop an explosive on it, as a result of which the Russian tricolor was destroyed,” the border guards said.
It was not possible because of snipers who were placed by nearby Russians in positions nearby precisely to prevent Ukrainians from removing the tricolor.
