This makeshift armour is ­fitted to what looks to be a US-made Humvee.

Yesterday, intense battles were reported north of the frontline city Donetsk, where President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Ukrainian forces are locked in combat with invading Russian troops.

It is now almost completely deserted, with most residents fleeing the onslaught from Vladimir Putin’s war machine. 

Coinciding with these events, a massive paint factory in Yaroslavl, Russia—which produces specialty coatings for military equipment protection—was seen engulfed in flames, reportedly due to a Ukrainian attack.

In response, Russia has been reinforcing its vehicles with protective modifications to such an extent that distinguishing the specific vehicle types becomes difficult.

Recently, footage from combat areas displayed a Russian tank covered in a large protective cage, extensive netting, and various other materials, as noted by military observers.

Amid these tensions, President Trump suggested a territorial exchange as part of a peace deal, but this proposal was swiftly dismissed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

He said: “There is nothing to talk about. This violates our Constitution.

“This is our territory, the territory of the people of Ukraine.”
