1/ Ukraine's rapid advances in recent days have revealed that many Russian claims of capturing settlements along the length of the front were false or tenous. Russian warbloggers complain that this has exposed more lies by their side's commanders. 📷

2/ Rybar provides a gloomy assessment of Ukraine's progress:

"The situation on the western flank of the Zaporizhzhia front has deteriorated sharply over the past 24 hours."

3/ "The enemy is attempting to cut off the penetration toward Zaporizhzhia along the shore of the former Kakhovka Reservoir. Ukrainian forces have launched an offensive along a sector approximately 20 kilometers wide.

4/ "▪️Recent [Russian] reports of the liberation [i.e. capture] of Mahdalynivka turned out to be false. The enemy has amassed its forces and launched attacks toward Lukianivske , which has come under firm control of Ukrainian forces. Fighting continues in Novoiakovlivka.

5/ "▪️ The situation in Prymorske has deteriorated significantly. The northern part of the town remains a "layered" zone with intermingled positions.

6/ "While Richne was previously claimed to have been liberated, the current dynamics suggest that the town was not under the stable control of the Russian Armed Forces. It's likely that, at best, only small groups [of Russians] entered the area.

7/ "▪️ The enemy advanced along the E-105 highway between Prymorske and Stepnohirsk and deployed stormtroopers in Plavni. As a result, Russian units in Prymorske were cut off from their main positions.

8/ "In Stepnohirsk itself, the enemy not only held positions in the north of the city but also managed to increase its presence...

9/ "We previously wrote about the threat of a Ukrainian counteroffensive aimed at pushing Russian forces back from the Kinka line and the approaches to Zaporizhzhia.

10/ "In fact, we can confirm, if not the beginning of such a counteroffensive, then a very large-scale reconnaissance in force. The question of how many enemy forces were deployed in the "liberated" villages is one that will almost certainly remain unanswered."

11/ 'Combat Reserve' is angry about the false claims made previously by the Russian Ministry of Defence about the capture of Mahdalynivka:

"Bullshit again, Mahdalynivka is as far away as China.

Why?

Why talk shit when you haven't even gotten there?"

12/ 'Alex Parker Returns' calls out another false claim from the Russian MOD:

"The Russian Armed Forces have liberated the village of Minkivka in [Donetsk], the Russian Ministry of Defence reports. They're lying. In reality, it's under the control of the [Ukrainians]."

13/ "After Kupyansk, someone took it upon themselves to liberate everything on credit. The results are out the window."

'Callsign "Osetin"' sarcastically calls on the Russian military to stop falsely claiming victories, using a frequent euphemism for Russia:

14/ "Comrade soldiers and senior Laotian officials, please stop reporting on the liberation of settlements while the enemy is still present. There's no point in doing so.

15/ "It doesn't raise morale, it doesn't demoralize the enemy, it doesn't liberate settlements any faster, it doesn't lead to victory in the information arena, and it doesn't make the people any happier (they will be,…

16/ …but only until they learn that Laotian soldiers are still fighting for the village.

Why is this trend starting again in Laos?

Maybe I'm wrong, but then explain the point...

It's good we're not in Laos." /end
