WARPED Russian soldiers who flew the American flag into battle as a sick taunt have been killed in action, according to reports.

An armored vehicle was seen this week bearing the flags of both Russia and the United States following Donald Trump’s summit with Vladimir Putin.

The mocking stunt appeared to suggest that the US is now helping Russia in its brutal invasion and occupation of swathes of Ukraine.

But the twisted Russian troops weren’t laughing for long.

Military analysts have reported that the vehicle’s crew have been killed in battle since it was filmed heading towards Zaporizhzhia.

MilitaryNewsUA, a blogger, shared on X: “Russian sources report that the Russian crew of the Gaz-71, displaying both American and Russian flags, perished during an assault on Ukrainian positions.”

It comes as Russia continues to sustain heavy casualties in its attempts to push further into Ukrainian territory.

Russia’s total casualties – meaning troops killed or wounded – in Ukraine exceeded one million back in June.

Petr Andryushchenko, head of the Centre for the Study of the Occupation, previously noted: “Russians have claimed the United States as an ally and are attacking Mala Tokmachka using M113 armored personnel carriers, bearing both Russian and American flags.”

“This is the logical conclusion to all of Trump’s absurdity.

“And all of this is on the official propaganda channel of Russia Today. There are no words.”

Vladimir Putin came out of the diplomatic deep freeze last Friday when he met with Donald Trump in Alaska for a peace summit.

Although no ceasefire agreement resulted from the meeting, Russia has portrayed the summit as a diplomatic success for the Kremlin after years of growing isolation.

Trump told reporters: “There were many, many points that we agreed on, most of them, I would say.

“A couple of big ones that we haven’t quite gotten there, but we’ve made some headway.”

Fears have since grown in Western capitals that Trump may try to force Ukraine into surrendering further territory to Moscow in exchange for peace.

Putin has signalled that he wants to take control of the whole Donbas region as a pre-condition for an end to the war.

Russian forces occupy large swathes of the two provinces that make up this region – Donetsk and Luhansk.

However, Ukraine maintains control over the strategically crucial “fortress belt” in Donetsk, which analysts worry could be utilized by Moscow as a base for potential future invasions.

It prompted European leaders to fly to Washington and accompany Volodymyr Zelensky for crunch peace talks with Trump on Monday.

The Ukrainian war leader sought to shore up American and European security guarantees for his country in the event of a halt to the fighting.

Donald Trump has ruled out putting US boots on the ground – and has dashed Ukrainian hopes of joining Nato.

He said instead: “We’ve got the European nations, and they’ll front-load it.

“When it comes to security, the Europeans are willing to put people on the ground.”

The White House is now pushing for a trilateral meeting with Trump, Putin and Zelensky to further peace discussions.

Will there be a summit with Putin?

VLADIMIR Putin has failed to publicly commit to a sit down with Volodymyr Zelensky off back of duelling summits with Donald Trump.

It came after a love-in at the White House yesterday which saw Zelensky and Trump smooth over their differences and appear to pave the way for peace.

The Ukrainian leader said he was “ready” to speak to Putin in-person under any circumstances.

A direct confrontation between the leaders, the first since the war began in February 2022, might pave the way for a trilateral summit involving Donald Trump.

So far however the Kremlin have remained coy on any details, despite Vlad reportedly telling Trump he was interested in talks.

Moscow have remained publicly silent – and there have been no details released about when, or where, such a historic summit could occur.

Efforts have previously been made to bring Zelensky and Putin together – with the Ukrainian leader even challenging Vlad to meet in Istanbul back in May.

Silence from the Russian side raises fears that once again the tyrant could torpedo any attempt for talks at the highest level.
