Statement by Russian Defence Ministry

V. Zelensky's statement to journalists that in Kupyansk, the AFU is allegedly mopping up the remaining '60 Russians' can only testify to two things.

The head of the Kiev regime has completely lost connection with reality and, while listening to the false reports of Syrskyi, has absolutely no control over the operational situation on the ground.

Or, on the contrary, he understands the desperate situation and the real situation of the AFU in Kupyansk. Therefore, at the cost of the shameless death of thousands of Ukrainian servicemen in the 'pockets', he tries to hide all the truth from the population of Ukraine and his Western sponsors in order to continue to profit from the funds allocated to the war against Russia by European taxpayers.

Otherwise, it is impossible to consider his words 'we will mop up everything'.

Today, the situation of the AFU groups trapped in the encirclements of Kupyansk and Krasnoarmeysk, which continue to suffer significant losses from strikes and advance of the Russian troops, is rapidly deteriorating, leaving no chance for Ukrainian servicemen to save themselves, except voluntarily surrender.
