This is the spectacular moment a Ukrainian fighter jet flew past cars on a rural road amid the country's conflict with neighbouring Russia.

It was followed by a second jet passing slightly higher as it zoomed by with a roar on September 6.

The first piece of footage, filmed from a car on the road in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, shows the fighter jets roaring past, with a second piece of footage filmed by military personnel on the road, showing a soldier waving a Ukrainian flag at the jets as they fly over her head.

The images were obtained from the Armed Forces of Ukraine and from the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine along with statements from the organisations.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine said: ‘Good morning Ukraine! The guardians of the sky care about your peace. Glory to Ukraine and its soldier. Death to the enemies.'

And the Ground Forces of Ukraine said the images show ‘the flight of the Su-25s from the Donetsk region'.
The Sukhoi Su-25 is a subsonic, twin-engine fighter jet that was first developed in the Soviet Union in the mid-1970s.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 in what the Kremlin is still calling a ‘special military operation'.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that between February 24 and September 6, Russia had lost about 50,150 personnel, 2,077 tanks, 4,484 armoured combat vehicles, 1,179 artillery units, 296 multiple launch rocket systems, 156 air defence systems, 236 warplanes, 207 helicopters, 876 drones, 209 cruise missiles, 15 warships, 3,305 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, and 109 units of special equipment.

Russia has claimed that its casualties have been much lower, but provides infrequent updates on its latest figures.

The UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said on Monday that the backup power line at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe's largest, has been disconnected to extinguish a fire.

Ukraine's state energy company Energoatom has said that four of the six UN mission members who went to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant have now left the site. Energoatom said that the two remaining IAEA experts would be staying on at the plant on a permanent basis.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have said that they have repelled Russian offensives in eastern Ukraine and had disrupted Russian crossings near the Russian-occupied city of Kherson, in the country's south.

Kirill Stremousov, the head of the Russian authorities in Kherson, has said that plans for a ‘referendum' on whether to become part of the Russian Federation have been temporarily ‘paused'.

Russia has said that it will not resume supplying Europe with gas until the West lifts sanctions against Moscow.

Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin's spokesperson, said on Monday that the halt in gas supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline was due to the sanctions.

A Moscow court has revoked independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta of its print media licence. Its editor-in-chief, Dmitry Muratov, said that it was ‘a political hit job, without the slightest legal basis' and that the newspaper would appeal the decision.
