After the head of the Russian forces, Valeri Gherasimov, presented a report on the Moscow's summer offensive on Saturday, the Ukrainian army sent on Sunday morning with a message that reminds him that the invasion troops from Ukraine “did not achieve the full control of any important city.”
The reaction came after General Gehrasimov, the head of the General Staff of the Russian army, said on Saturday that the Russian forces are engaged in a permanent offensive throughout the entire line of the Ukraine and have the “strategic initiative”.
However, the Ukrainian army says that his report on “the results of the campaign in the spring-summer 2025” contains “attempts to present the wishes as a reality plus lies.”
“After three and a half years of wide -scale aggression on the part of the Kremlin, another seasonal offensive has ended with almost nothing. Despite Gerasimov's statements, the Russian forces have not achieved full control over any important city. Instead, since the beginning of the year, in the unnecessary battles of the regions of Kharkov, Donhansk, And injured, along with 2,174 fighting vehicles, 1,201 tank, 7,303 artillery systems and 157 multiple launching or damaged missile launch systems, ”the Ukrainian army said in a post on social networks.
Nearly 300,000 Russians would have been killed or injured this year
“The fake statements of the enemy about the so-called” security zones “in the Sumy and Kharkov regions are nothing more than attempts to hide the failures of the operations that led to impasses and tens of thousands of victims.
Only this year, in the area of responsibility of the Operational Group “Kursk”, our troops eliminated 19 080 enemy fighters, and over 25,000 were injured, “say the Ukrainians.
According to the Ukrainian army, the figures presented by Moscow regarding the conquered territories and localities are much exaggerated.
“The only 100% verified result obtained by Russia since the beginning of 2025 is its own losses – over 291,000 soldiers killed and injured. The mass decoration of 120,000 Russian soldiers only emphasizes the extent of these losses,” the message says
Destruction of missile production, “another propaganda illusion”
Another point in refers to an ordinary expression in the communications of the Ministry of Defense in Moscow on the “precision blows against the military targets” in Ukraine.
“Thousands of Ukrainian civilians know the real price of these praises, losing their houses, relatives and loved ones every day. Wherever a Russian Risk iskander, a so-called” command post “or” foreign mercenary base “. The consequence of constant violations of international humanitarian law by Russia is the loss of human lives. An example: the non -discriminatory attack on the Kiev on August 28 killed 25 civilians, of which four children, ”accused the Ukrainian army.
According to her, the narrative about “the destruction of the Ukraine's missile industry” is another propagandistic illusion: “Ukraine's regular and precise attacks against military installations within Russia are the best denial of these inventions of the Kremlin.”
“General Gerasimov's final report is a classic example of lies and arrogance from the Kremlin,” the Ukrainian army said.
