Ukraine War Footage for July 5
- Ukraine has laid out a $750bn (£620bn) ‘recovery plan’ for its postwar future during the Ukraine Recovery Conference hosted by Switzerland on Monday. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said the common task of the entire democratic world was to map out a physical future for Ukraine in the event it survives as a western-facing nation after the Russian invasion.
- Ukrainian forces are set to raise the country’s flag on Snake Island, a strategic and symbolic outpost in the Black Sea that Russian troops retreated from last week after months of heavy bombardment. Ukraine’s military earlier stated that the national flag had been returned to the island shortly before 11pm on Monday. However, Natalia Humeniuk, spokesperson for Ukraine’s southern military command, later confirmed in an interview with CNN: “The flag was delivered to the island by helicopter. It will wait for the arrival of the troops, then it will wave.”
- Turkey has halted a Russian-flagged cargo ship off its Black Sea coast and is investigating a Ukrainian claim that it was carrying stolen grain, a senior Turkish official said on Monday
- Ukraine has renewed its invitation for Pope Francis to visit the country and urged the pontiff to continue praying for the Ukrainian people, a foreign ministry spokesperson said
- The self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic has claimed that in the last 24 hours Ukrainian forces have shelled 15 of the 240 settlements they say they control. They claim that “five people were killed and another 20 civilians were injured”

- The mayor of Slovyansk said Sunday that the city had come under the “biggest shelling” of recent times, with President Volodymyr Zelensky later saying that six people were killed and 20 injured
- Not all residents of the city of Lysychansk in Luhansk Oblast who wanted to evacuate were able to do so. The Armed Forces of Ukraine withdrew from Lysychansk on 3 July following heavy fighting. “A number of people were waiting for the Russian troops. For the most part, these are older people, those who remember the Soviet Union, who have been waiting for its return – and now they have it. They think that it’s the Soviet Union that’s arrived in their city,” Shybiko said
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his troops would return with more weapons to fight Russia in the eastern city of Lysychansk, which Russia took this weekend. Zelenskyy said in a Sunday night address that “we will return thanks to our tactics, thanks to the increase in the supply of modern weapons.”
- The Russian assault will now switch its focus to the rest of the Donbas industrial heartland, but Kyiv will find it easier to defend fortified positions in Donetsk region and the battles that will shape the war’s course still lie ahead, military analysts said.

The footage, recorded by Ukrainian drones in the region, shows the remaining Russian military hardware destroyed by artillery strikes on the island.
The footage then appears to show a drone flying towards the tank before smoke can be seen rising into the air after it was apparently hit.
