New symbol appearing on Russian military equipment

Anew tactical symbol appearing on Russian tanks and armored vehicles involved in the ongoing offensive near Kharkiv, Ukraine suggest a significant scale-up in Russia's military activities, according to the open-source intelligence monitor OSINT Defender. According to Newsweek, the previously unseen symbol consists of a central square with two overlapping diagonal crosses. This marking has started to appear on Russian equipment over the last several days. OSINT Defender reports that the new symbol could be related to Russia's renewed border offensive in northeast Ukraine. Russian armored assault groups are attempting to breach Ukrainian defenses, particularly around Vovchansk, where Russian forces have been spotted entering the border town.
