During an interview with this soldier in Ukraine, a shell hits nearby. The TV screw scrambles inside while Givi calmly drags on his cigarette. Listen carefully and you can hear the shrapnel hitting the car behind him.

No. It's the flag of Novorossiya . Novorossya was a historical term of the Russian Empire in 1764-1873 denoting an area north of the Black Sea, presently part of Ukraine. The flag is based on the Russian Naval jack, which is a combination of the cross of St. Andrew and the cross of St. George. My guess is that the pro-Russian forces in Ukraine are using it now.

I was joking. That's actually their battle flag. The "state" flag is based on the flag of the old Russian Empire.
