[ColonelCassad] The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the operation to eliminate the "Reznikov Cauldron" was called "Bear's Corner." As a result of this operation, a Ukrainian Armed Forces group totaling 2,000 personnel was routed. More than 400 square kilometers of territory and 28 settlements were liberated. They're still hunting for isolated groups of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers or simply individuals in the forests there. P.S. Importantly, yesterday Putin effectively outlined changes to Russia's peace terms: the captured territories of the "security zone" in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions are not subject to exchange for any other territories and will effectively remain under Russian control after the war. They will not be given up or exchanged. Previously, it was proposed to exchange them for the territories of the DPR and Zaporizhzhia region.
