A video of a tank flying what appears to be the Soviet Union flag while reportedly driving along the Dnieper river has been shared on social media.
The tank can be seen speeding alongside a group of Russian trucks, and a white painted "Z" is also visible on the front of the tank and the trucks.
Russia has previously dismissed the possibility of reviving the Soviet Union, according to a report by Newsweek. The Kremlinhas also denied the idea that the invasion of Ukraine is in service of this goal.
In December, Dmitry Peskov, the press security for Russian President Vladimir Putin, rejected the idea, suggested by the U.S., that Putin wants to " reconstitute the Soviet Union" as part of a legacy project.
This suggestion was made by U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland.
Peskov addressed these concerns and said that Nuland, as well as other experts, were aware that restoring the USSR is "impossible."
