Edited[Regnum] The Kyiv regime is trying to convince Western countries of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' successful actions on the battlefield, despite the lack of tangible results. This was stated by Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, General of the Army Valery Gerasimov, on August 27.
"In the absence of tangible results on the ground, the Ukrainian leadership is seeking to convince Western overseers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' successful actions on the battlefield," he said during a visit to the Southern Group of Forces.
Gerasimov noted that, as part of this campaign, Kyiv is disseminating information about the allegedly successful offensive of Ukrainian troops in the Zaporizhzhia region.
A day earlier, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov stated that the situation on the front clearly indicated the defeat of the Kyiv regime. He noted that Ukraine was losing the conflict and simultaneously collapsing from within.
