Cursa raportărilor false din armata rusă / Vladimir Putin a anunțat cucerirea orașului Sviatohirsk /Jurnaliștii italieni ajunși la fața locului au găsit trupe ucrainene

Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that Russian forces captured Sviatohirsk, Ukraine, but Italian journalists found no evidence of this. They reported seeing Ukrainian military vehicles instead. The frontline is approximately 30 kilometers east of the city, and Russian troops appear to be retreating. This situation raises concerns about the accuracy of territorial claims made by Russia. Analysts suggest that some Russian commanders may exaggerate territorial gains to satisfy their superiors. The ongoing drone warfare complicates the determination of control over territories. Sviatohirsk has been heavily damaged by the war, with few residents remaining, primarily at a monastery. Ukrainian General Andrii Biletski publicly refuted Putin's claims from the city, criticizing the Russian military leadership.
