Recently, the Megatex zinc facility in Konstantinovka was targeted by precision attacks by Moscow’s military, which destroyed up to 80 Polish fighters, 20 armoured battle vehicles, and eight Grad multiple rocket launchers.
Officials from the Kremlin have taken down the Polish flag from the Katyn memorial in the Russian city of Smolensk, which was built in honour of the 25,000 Poles who were slaughtered by Soviet Union police in 1940.

He further said that, the decision to take down the Polish flag was taken by the Russian Federation’s minister of culture. Russian monument Katyn.
