Putin announced control over 50% of Chervona Lyman and Huliaipole: what it means.

According to ТСН: Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed confidence in the capabilities of his army, particularly in the Donbas region.

During a conversation with journalists, he noted:

“I have no doubt that the RF Armed Forces will take Kostiantynivka as well. Chervonyi Lyman will be captured in the near future, with 50% already under our control. The movement towards Sloviansk will continue. I have no doubt that the RF Armed Forces will 'capture' Kostiantynivka as well. The city of Dmytriv is completely surrounded. Fighting is ongoing in Huliaipole, the city is split into two parts, our guys have crossed the river, with 50% of the city under the control of the RF Armed Forces. By the end of this year, we will witness new successes of our fighters,” said the dictator.

Moreover, Putin previously expressed Russia's readiness for dialogue on ending the war “on the principles outlined in June 2024.”

These statements by Putin reflect his optimistic approach to the situation on the front. Despite ongoing hostilities, the Russian side continues to adhere to its plans. It is important to note that the situation in the region remains tense, and the world is watching the developments, as territorial changes can significantly impact the course of the war.
