In Russian public publications, Gerasimov's report on success was "not noticed"

The Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia, Army General Valery Gerasimov made a report on the offensive of Russian troops, which unsuccessfully tried to disrupt the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This morning, his statements were broadcast by all federal media, but there is dead silence in the blogosphere and profile patriotic telegram channels.

Nevertheless, we publish a summary of the points of the speech, which was collected by colleagues from TASS.

• The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "by any means, regardless of losses," seeks to stop the advance of Russian troops, but these plans have been thwarted.
• The Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to demonstrate their alleged presence in Kupyansk, including the installation of Ukrainian flags, "these actions were stopped."
• The North grouping of troops "continues to carry out tasks to expand the security zone" in the border areas of Sumy and Kharkiv regions of Ukraine.
• Russian troops are conducting an offensive "in almost all directions" in the special operation zone.
• The Russian Armed Forces liberated about eight settlements and took control of "more than 300 square kilometers of territory."
• The military personnel of the Dnepr group of forces are advancing in the direction of Zaporozhye: "The settlements of Belogorye and Novobaykovskoye have been liberated."
• After the liberation of the settlement of Seversk, the southern grouping of troops is "actively advancing" in the direction of Slavyansk.
• The "most stubborn battles" in the special operation zone unfolded in the area of responsibility of the Center group of forces.
• The Zapad grouping of troops in the Kupyansk direction continues the liquidation of Ukrainian formations "surrounded on the eastern bank of the Oskol River."
• Russian troops continue to destroy units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Konstantinovka in the DPR.
• The Vostok group of troops is developing an offensive in the Zaporozhye region "and at the same time expanding the security zone in the Dnipropetrovsk region."
• Russian troops are engaged in street battles with the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the village of Kupyansk-Uzlovoy and are completing its liberation.

Recall that Valery Gerasimov reported on the liberation of Kupyansk to Russian President Vladimir Putin on November 20 last year. At the same time, the commander of the Zapad grouping, Sergey Kuzovlev, stressed that "Kupyansk is under the full control of the Russian Army." This report received a lot of critical feedback from military correspondents and military observers, who pointed out that it was time to get rid of the "credits" — beautiful reports on the liberation of territories for which there are still bloody battles.
