Imaginary Encirclements

Khoroshe Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskovclaimedon Monday that Russian forces had captured Pokrovsk and Vovchansk.
In a report released a few hours later, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Valery Gerasimov,statedthatRussian troops have surrounded Stepnohirsk in the Zaporizhzhia region and are successfully launching an offensive in the Dnipropetrovsk region.He alsoannouncedthat approximately 30% of the buildings in Kostiantynivka (in the Donetsk region) are under the control of Russian units, and that assault units from the Western Group have entered Krasny Lyman, a small village northeast of Sloviansk. Previously,Russian dictator Vladimir Putin hadannouncedthe encirclement of Pokrovsk, Huliaipole, and Kupiansk.
None of these claims are true.
Pokrovsk is neither surrounded nor fallen.The Russian army has suffered so many losses in that sector of the front that it has had to deploy reserves in its efforts to reach the city center. After clearing the northern and eastern areas,the Ukrainian army has deployed its most advanced unmanned technology. The average lifespan of a Russian expendable is just a matter of a few minutes from the moment hes thrown into the meat grinder until hes detonated by a Ukrainian drone. The sky is filled with UAVs because the Russians also use theirs. However, by continuing to send their men into battle in civilian clothes or with Ukrainian camouflage and distinctive markings, the Russian generals create such chaotic situations that they end up losing many to friendly fire. Ukrainian drone operators feverishly watch the war room monitors, waiting until the last moment before launching their quadcopters at the enemy, so as not to waste a single one, since it is often the Russian drones that end up hitting them.
Logistics are running smoothly, and even the wounded are being evacuated, both there and to and from Rivne and Myrnohrad, although drones are preferred most of the time along all the frontline.
We approachedKupianskjust a few hours ago, finding a situation more similar to what the Ukrainian president described than the Russian dictator did. Zelenskysaidjust yesterday that the city will soon be completely liberated from Russian raiders and saboteurs. Speaking with several soldiers and viewing live footage, we learned thatthe northern sector is still infested by the ДРГ, but these are isolated units, no longer receiving equipment and ammunitionbecause the ЗСУ have managed to cut off all access to that sector and are blocking air traffic with electronic warfare devices.
What weve alreadyreportedabout Huliaypole in our latest updates remains unchanged on the ground: after the 225th Motorized Infantry Regiment supported the 102nd Brigade,the Ukrainian defensive lines near Novouspenivke are still holding.
We were nearVovchanska few days ago after filming the recent Russian attacks against Kharkiv Oblast?. The Russians have been trying to break through for two years now but are making no progress. They seize the ruins of a building, then lose them and return to their previous entrenchment.Vovchansk is a desolate land of rubble incompatible with life. The clearest example of a gray zone.
The streets ofSlovianskare still passable and the city remains livable, but with the utmost caution against FPV drones. In nearbyKrasnyj Lyman, businesses are closed, and the few remaining civilians are barricaded inside their homes with bricked-up windows. The threat from the Russian DRG is real, butclaiming the city is occupied is a stretch of fantasy.
Kostiantynivka is 100% under Ukrainian control. We have firsthand evidence of this after using nearby Druzhkivka as a base for reporting.
Given all this, it seems quite clear that, as Andry Kovalenko, head of the Ukrainian Center for Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council,confirmed,the Russians are backing their pressure at the front with sensational statements aimed at pressuring Western audiences to escalate diplomacy. In the coming weeks, it would be crucial for the media to maintain a constant presence on the ground because, as Kovalenkonoted, these statements will be further exaggerated to present the situation at the front in Moscows favor.
During a meeting with the military,Putin evenannouncedhis intention to create a security zone along the Russian border with northern Ukraine, explaining that this will entail the need to take control of the border areas of the Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv oblasts. This ispure dissemination of ideasthat find no operational confirmation except in the pages of an unfortunately ever-growing number of Italian newspapers.

虛構的包圍
作者：Giorgio Provinciali
烏克蘭前線報道????????
霍羅舍克裏姆林宮發言人德米特裏佩斯科夫周一聲稱，俄羅斯軍隊已占領波克羅夫斯克和沃夫昌斯克。
幾小時後發布的一份報告中，俄羅斯聯邦武裝部隊總參謀長瓦列裏傑拉西莫夫表示：俄羅斯軍隊已包圍紮波羅熱地區的斯捷普諾希爾斯克，並在第聶伯羅彼得羅夫斯克地區成功發起攻勢。他還宣布，頓涅茨克地區的科斯蒂安季諾夫卡大約30%的建築物已被俄羅斯部隊控製，來自西方集團的突擊部隊已進入斯拉維揚斯克東北的小村莊克拉斯尼利曼。此前，俄羅斯獨裁者弗拉基米爾普京曾宣布包圍波克羅夫斯克、胡利亞波爾和庫皮揚斯克。
這些說法都不屬實。
波克羅夫斯克既沒有被包圍，也沒有陷落。俄羅斯軍隊在該前線地區遭受了重大損失，迫使其在努力到達市中心的過程中不得不調動後備力量。在清除北部和東部地區後，烏克蘭軍隊部署了其最先進的無人技術。俄羅斯消耗品的平均壽命從被投入絞肉機到被烏克蘭無人機引爆，僅僅隻是幾分鍾。天空中充滿了無人機，因為俄軍也在使用他們的無人機。然而，俄羅斯將領們持續派遣穿著便衣或帶有烏克蘭偽裝和特殊標記的士兵投入戰鬥，最終導致在友軍火力中損失了許多人。烏克蘭的無人機操作者緊張地監視著作戰室的監視器，直到最後一刻才將他們的四旋翼無人機投向敵人，以免浪費掉任何一架，因為往往是俄羅斯無人機最終擊中了這些偽裝者
盡管在整個前線，大多數情況下更偏好使用無人機，後勤運作順暢，傷員正不斷被撤離，無論是在那裏還是往返於裏夫尼和米爾諾赫拉德。
我們在幾小時前接近庫皮揚斯克，發現的情況更接近烏克蘭總統描述的，而非俄羅斯獨裁者的說法。澤倫斯基昨天表示，這座城市將很快完全從俄羅斯的突擊隊和破壞者手中解放出來。與幾名士兵交談並觀看實時畫麵後，我們得知北部區域仍然被ДРГ（俄羅斯遊擊隊）侵擾，但這些僅是孤立的單位，而且因為烏克蘭武裝部隊已成功切斷了對該區域的所有通道，並用電子戰設備封鎖了空中交通，因此這些單位不再獲得設備和彈藥。
我們在關於胡利亞波爾最新的更新中報道，地麵情況依舊不變：在第225摩托化步兵團支持第102旅後，烏克蘭軍隊在諾沃烏斯佩尼夫卡附近的防線仍在堅守。
幾天前，我們在沃夫昌斯克附近，拍攝了最近俄羅斯針對哈爾科夫州的攻擊後。俄羅斯已經嚐試突破兩年，但毫無進展。他們先是占領了一棟建築的廢墟，隨後又失去控製，回到之前的工事。沃夫昌斯克現在是一片毫無生機的廢墟荒地，是灰色地帶的最典型例子。
斯拉維揚斯克的街道依然通行無阻，城市依舊適宜居住，但必須對FPV無人機保持極高的警惕。在附近的克拉斯尼利曼，商鋪都已關閉，少數剩餘的平民被封鎖在自家裏，窗戶用磚封閉。來自俄羅斯遊擊隊的威脅確實存在，但稱該城市被占領則是誇大其詞。
科斯蒂安季諾夫卡100%處於烏克蘭控製之下。在以附近的德魯日基夫卡作為報道基地後，我們對此有第一手證據。

考慮到這一切，這似乎很明顯，正如烏克蘭國家安全與國防委員會反信息中心負責人安德裏科瓦連科所證實的那樣，俄羅斯在前線施加壓力的同時，借助聳人聽聞的聲明來迫使西方觀眾升級外交。在接下來的幾周，媒體在前線堅持現場報道至關重要，因為正如科瓦連科指出的那樣，這些聲明將被進一步誇大，以便展示有利於莫斯科的前線形勢。

在與軍方的會議中，普京甚至宣布了他在俄羅斯與烏克蘭北部邊境建立安全區的意圖，解釋稱這將需要控製切爾尼戈夫、蘇梅和哈爾科夫地區的邊境區域。這純粹是傳播一些除了在越來越多的意大利報紙的版麵上之外，無法在操作上確認的想法。
