[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.

During the ceremony, Nikolai Patrushev, Aide to the President of the Russian Federation and Head of the Maritime Collegium, expressed confidence that the highly professional team of the Admiralty Shipyards will cope with the task at hand.
"I am confident that the highly professional team at Admiralty Shipyards, with its extensive experience in building surface ships and submarines, will, in collaboration with the teams at the cooperative's enterprises, successfully complete the task," Patrushev said.
The Maloyaroslavets submarine will be the fifth ship of the Project No. 677 Lada series and the sixth order, being built at the Admiralty Shipyards according to the design of the Rubin Design Bureau.
The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) delivered a new batch of Su-35S aircraft to the Russian military. The corporation's press service reported this on August 27.
The press service noted that the aircraft had completed a full cycle of factory testing, were tested by Russian Defense Ministry pilots in various operating modes, and completed a flight from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to their home airfield.
A Su-35S pilot of the Russian Aerospace Forces noted that a new batch of aircraft had been received as part of the fulfillment of the targets set by the Russian Ministry of Defense to provide troop groups with weapons and equipment to meet the missions they were performing.
"The Su-35S is a maneuverable, multirole fighter. This aircraft operates flawlessly, and the crew finds it comfortable to operate. We use this aircraft to perform a variety of missions: intercepting airborne targets at long range, providing cover for strike groups and ground targets, destroying unmanned aerial vehicles, and delivering precision strikes against ground and surface targets with precision weapons. We also conduct reconnaissance and uncover enemy positions at significant depths from the line of contact," the pilot stated.
The Su-35S is designed to achieve air superiority and destroy ground infrastructure located at a significant distance from its base, UAC stated on its Telegram channel.
