Quote from Andriushchenko: "Resistance. We have confirmation of the detonation of a patrol of occupiers on Karpinskiy Street of Kalmiuskyi district, as they were trying to erase "Ї" and catch our artists [the ones who painted the symbol]."

Details: According to Andriushchenko, three occupiers have been hospitalised in Donetsk. The Ukrainians who drew the letter "Ї" were not injured and have escaped safely, Andriushchenko added.

For reference: Earlier, the Mariupol City Council reported that the letter "Ї" has become a symbol of Mariupol's resistance. Now it appears in different corners of the city.

Background: Ukrainian resistance used a Russian landmine to blow up a patrol unit of Russian occupiers on the night of 28 August. One Russian was killed on the spot, while the other one lost his leg in the explosion.
