Some of my observations around @il_kanguru's find:
An aircraft can be seen crossing the 🇷🇺Russia-🇺🇦Ukraine border (white line), proven by a contrail (dashed yellow line), turning left around Khomutove (DPR).
3-4 km further west, 2? fast-moving objects can be seen - Air Defence?

We can see that the unknown phenomenon consists of two pairs of RGB lines, so we are looking at white trails.
I think that the sharp end on the east end and the fuzzy end on the west end suggests that the objects are not heading away from the aircraft but rather towards the ENE.

The aircraft is about 3 pixels long (±25-30 m?), making it larger than most fighter jets.
From my earlier Sentinel-2 aircraft finds, I know that these measurements are generally a good indicator of aircraft size.

Note that I am confident, but not one hundred percent certain that these two trails are not some artefact caused by the strong reflection in the aircraft contrail further east. If you know more about this, please do let me know.
