Quote: "The use of the Ukrainian pixel [a camouflage pattern- ed.] by Russian assault units was recorded on the Kreminna front. The Russians can also plan operations under a "false flag" to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Demonstrative acts of violence against the civilian population are possible."

Details: The NRC states that the occupiers use red, white or blue ribbons on their legs to distinguish each other from the Ukrainian military.

Background: On 10 January, the NRC reported that Russia's military was planning to attack a hospital in the temporarily occupied part of Luhansk Oblast to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
