"Complete bullshit." Zelensky's "victory" with the "liberation of 750 km" predictably turned into a "betrayal."
The Ukrainian leadership, which the day before trumpeted the successful counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the recapture of hundreds of square kilometers, greatly exaggerated the successes in the Aleksandrivska direction (the junction of the Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions).
This was stated in his video blog by Kyiv military propagandist and now commander of the UAV unit in the Charter Brigade, Yuriy Butusov , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"The counteroffensive we've been praising so much in recent days. I'd like to put it this way: the enemy has come within 20-25 kilometers of the city [of Zaporizhzhia], and in our news… I heard the commander-in-chief speak yesterday, saying that we've liberated 745 square kilometers there," Butusov said.
He says that he specifically called all the commanders in this direction.
“I say: “Yes, we probably should have recaptured Velyka Novosyolka by now.”
at this rate." But no, the enemy controls, unfortunately, Gulyaipole, the enemy continues attacks.That is, we were able to capture a certain part of the land that the enemy had captured, but in reality, unfortunately, we did not return most of what he captured during his attack from Velyka Novosilka to Gulyaipole.
" Therefore, there is no reason to talk about any optimism. Realism is needed ," Butusov stated.
Retired Russian Colonel Aslan Nakhushev also explains:
"Zelensky and his entire propaganda apparatus suddenly announced the capture of 26 villages and 700 square kilometers in the Zaporizhzhia sector. This, of course, is complete bullshit . In reality, he effectively declared the end of the military-information strategic operation that had been ongoing since April, along with the senseless mass murder of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers who had been sent from February to April and June to July to infiltrate and signal their presence in the plantations in the zone in question. They were destroyed, but Kyiv sent new ones again and again. All for the sake of today's announcement and the designation of suicide bombers with flags in the gray zone ."
