Putin’s Statements vs Reality

The strikes on Kyiv and Ukraine’s cities are effective and timely; this helps our troops carry out combat tasks.

Yesterday in Kryvyi Rih, 16 civilian visitors to a shopping mall were killed by Russian military personnel.

The increase in Russian strikes on Ukraine is the result of yet another adventure by Kyiv and its Western sponsors.

The intensity of the terror rose when the United States stopped sending a sufficient number of interceptor missiles. The Russian Armed Forces are using this to strike civilian sites.

No turning point from Ukrainian strikes on Russia could have happened, and it did not happen.

A second fuel crisis, even in Moscow. The budget has a record deficit, oil refining is at a historic low, and gasoline has to be purchased in India.

Kyiv itself “opened Pandora’s box” by beginning strikes on economic facilities. Well then, here is your answer, against your infrastructure.

In 2022 alone, the Russian military carried out at least 9 strikes on the largest shopping malls and Nova Poshta terminals. Dozens of strikes hit smaller facilities. A huge tragedy of those days was the attack on the Amstor shopping mall in Kremenchuk, where 21 people were killed. Since then, the attacks have not stopped.

Want to disrupt our logistics? The actions of our army will not keep you waiting; you’ll get your answer.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have been specifically targeting Russian Armed Forces logistics in the occupied territories since May. It is now the end of August, and the Russian army is incapable of doing anything comparable. It only hits gas stations.

We will not allow the enemy to disrupt the elections.

You cannot disrupt something that does not exist.

The proposals being conveyed to us are at times exotic in nature and unacceptable.

Kyiv’s main proposal is a ceasefire in the air and on the ground so that people stop dying. And only then, negotiations.

The loss of every person is always a tragedy for the whole country.

Russian Armed Forces losses in 2026 are the highest of the entire war. Soldiers are literally being sent to their deaths for the sake of another kilometer of seized land. Up to 30,000 new recruits are sent to the front every month, but the force grouping is not growing. Because 10,000 to 15,000 are killed, and just as many are wounded. The number of dead in the named list has already reached 241,000 people, exceeded only in the Second World War.

Our troops have increased the pace of movement at the front. The Russian Armed Forces are confidently accomplishing the tasks of the special military operation.

As of August 22, 2026, Russian troops had captured 775 square kilometers. A year earlier, over the same period, they had captured 2,768 square kilometers. The pace has fallen by 3.5 times.
