The situation is the Krasnoarmeysk agglomeration reminiscent of Sudzha (Kursk)
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Text taken from the Telegram page of Muchnnoy Jugend

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics:

[ColonelCassad] The hysteria over what's happening in the Krasnoarmeysk agglomeration is growing. There are no words, it's just complete... I don't even know how to comment on it... I'll say one thing, the situation is reminiscent of what happened to Sudzha, when our Cossacks were struggling to get out! I feel so sorry for the soldiers, so much! It hurts that these quack commanders are now feeding us such... nonsense, saying everything is fine, that you're all just kidding around there?

Stop trying to calm people down, feeding them crap from the news, it's making me sick to my stomach! You know what's most important? When the truth suddenly emerges and you all suddenly believe it, and it's impossible to bring the soldiers back!

Tears are streaming down my face... Syrsky is already being openly accused of lying about public assessments of the operational situation in Krasnoarmeysk and Dimitrov. Attempts to ignore the current operational encirclement of part of the Krasnoarmeysk group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are becoming increasingly comical against the backdrop of objective monitoring footage and reports from those stuck in the agglomeration. Stylistically, everything is very similar to the final weeks before the collapse of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Kursk group. So, we can expect plenty of positive news and footage from the metropolitan area. And the enemy will have to face the iron ass of reality when another dose of telethon no longer helps.

More from regnum.ru
Russian troops liberated 17 buildings in the north and east of Dimitrov.
