The head of the russian general staff, valery gerasimov, once again claimed the alleged establishment of “full control” over the Luhansk region and the “elimination” of surrounded Ukrainian Armed Forces units on the eastern bank of the Oskil River in the Kupyansk-Vuzlovyi area.<\/p>\n
In fact, these statements do not correspond to reality. According to official data from the Joint Forces Group, the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold part of Luhansk. As for the Kupyansk direction, russian troops are trying to seize the initiative, aiming to reduce the Ukrainian forces’ foothold east of the Osik, but they are suffering losses.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson for the 3rd Army Corps, Olexander Borodin, in whose area of responsibility the battles in Luhansk are taking place, officially refuted the aggressor’s statements.<\/p>\n
The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Andriy Kovalenko, noted that gerasimov is lying about the “complete occupation of Luhansk” for the second time. Earlier, he also manipulated facts about the capture of Kupyansk.<\/p>\n
Gerasimov belongs to a wing of Russian elites who advocate for continuing the war at any cost. Therefore, his task is to lie about military victories, and somewhere his st. petersburg colleagues from the FSB will legitimize this lie,” noted Andriy Kovalenko.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
