Ukraine Dismisses Russia’s Latest Claimed Territorial Advances as ‘An Illusion’
Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported50m ago
Ukraine has officially dismissed recent claims made by the Russian military regarding significant territorial gains as "an illusion." The dispute centers on assertions that Russian forces have captured more than 1,800 square kilometers of Ukrainian land and nearly 100 settlements since the beginning of September.
The reported advances were communicated to Russian President Vladimir Putin by the country's General Staff Chief, Valery Gerasimov. However, Ukrainian authorities firmly rejected the validity of these figures, maintaining that the claimed battlefield successes do not reflect the actual situation on the ground.
