The General Staff refuted the statements of the Russian Federation about the capture of Huliaipole and Myrnohrad.

According to ТСН: The Kremlin is trying to present the desired as reality, reporting on non-existent victories. The statements of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin about the 'successes' of the RF army at the front are not supported by facts.

Huliaipole and Myrnohrad: the situation is difficult but controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The General Staff emphasized that the statements from the Kremlin about the capture of these cities are untrue.

• Huliaipole (Zaporizhzhia): The situation is complex, but the defense is ongoing. Ukrainian forces continue to destroy infantry groups of invaders directly in the city. The Central Operational Command confirmed that the enemy does not control the city and has been unable to establish a foothold there.

• Myrnohrad (Donetsk Oblast): The operational situation remains severe. The enemy cannot implement its plans to capture the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration, so misinformation is being spread.

The fake about the capture of the settlement Stepnohirs'k in the Zaporizhzhia region has also been refuted, where fierce battles continue, but control remains with the Defense Forces.

Kostiantynivka: failed assault

The military reported on the situation in Kostiantynivka in Donetsk Oblast. The occupiers' claims about controlling 'half the city' are fabrications.

‘On December 26, the occupiers attempted an assault and advanced in a column towards Kostiantynivka. As a result of the successful actions of the Ukrainian defenders, two enemy tanks with demining equipment were destroyed, and the enemy infantry was eliminated by our drones,' the General Staff cited an example of successful defense.

The Defense Forces continue to hold the lines and eliminate the enemy at the approaches to the city.

Chronicle of lies: Kup'yansk and Pokrovsk

The military reminded that this is not the first attempt by the RF to 'capture' cities in the media.

• Kup'yansk: The leadership of the RF has claimed several times about the capture of the city, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated several settlements in the north, cleared most of the city, and blocked the remnants of the enemy.

• Pokrovsk: The aggressor has been talking about its capture since the end of September last year. The reality is that the city's defense has been ongoing for 17 months, and the enemy has suffered colossal losses there.

Who is this show for

The General Staff believes that the lies of the Russians are primarily aimed at foreign partners and intensified during discussions about peace negotiations.

The true cost of these 'virtual victories' is the real losses of the occupying army, which amount to at least 1000 dead and wounded daily.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the situation near Huliaipole is 'very-very difficult.' The Russians plan to remotely mine the logistic routes to Huliaipole to cut off Ukrainian forces.
