“Now they are not shy about it.” Russia’s Defense Ministry has begun reporting battles for villages in the Ukrainian rear, dozens of kilometers from the front line

The military department’s new victory reports have sparked outrage in the Z-community. It reported battles for the villages of Chervonyi Oskol, Krymky, and Studenok (in Kharkiv and Donetsk regions), as well as the “clearing of residential quarters of lone Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen” in Lyman and Sviatohirsk.

Z-channels write that these statements “do not match reality”

▪️The first three villages are in the rear of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The distance from Oskil to the front line, which now presumably runs along the Zherebets River, is 40 kilometers. There is no evidence of fighting in Sviatohirsk, which Putin has already declared captured. In Lyman, Russian forces are present in the southern part of the city and are trying to hold back attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

▪️If earlier they were still somehow messing around with taking populated areas near the line of contact on credit, now, without any embarrassment, we are clearing and taking Sviatohirsk, which is a couple of dozen kilometers away from the nearest Russian positions, a major Z-channel commented on the Defense Ministry’s statements.

▪️Earlier in this area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a successful counteroffensive, cutting off the so-called “Shandryholove salient.” On the map of the DeepState monitoring project, part of it is still shown as controlled by Russian forces, since the operation is being conducted under information silence and the situation on the map is deliberately shown with a delay.

▪️The Third Army Corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces inflicted heavy losses on the elite Russian UAV unit Rubicon, the corps commander told Ukrainska Pravda. After that, Rubicon was withdrawn from the Lyman direction. There has been no confirmation of this from the Russian side so far.
