kyiv, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russian tropas had rolled into Ukrainian forces in key Ukrainian cities and offered to negotiate a deal for their return. Ukrainian military authorities vigorously deny the assertion.

At a meeting with legacy soldiers at a Moscow military hospital, Putin indicated that Russian expulsion was on the list to open safe corredores to Ukrainian and Western periodicals “vean with his own eyes whoever is to succeed.”

The Ukrainian tropas have been confirmed to be traveled in Pokrovsk, a stronghold of Ukraine in the eastern region of Donetsk, and in Kupiansk, a major railway crossing in the north-eastern region of Járkiv.

Russia recently proved its importance in terms of sales on tropes and weapons at key points along the forward line, more than 1,000 kilometers, so four years after invading its neighborhood.

But Ukraine’s armed forces say claims about Kupiansk are an “invention and fantasy,” while Eastern Ukraine Forces spokesman Hryhorii Shapoval told The Associated Press that the situation in Pokrovsk is “difficult, but it is under control.”

The 7th month of the Ukrainian army’s rapid reaction corps, which defended Pokrovsk, said Russia had lost 11,000 troops intending to raid the city. Some Russian units had infiltrated Pokrovsk, recognized in a post on social media.

Over time, Russian authorities have made claims about the capture of Ukrainian strongholds that resulted in false claims. It is not possible to independently verify the claims.

Putin’s comments coincide with his diplomatic efforts to persuade the United States, which is seeking an act of peace to move forward in the war, which is useless for Ukraine because it cannot resist Russian military superiority. He is also enthusiastic that, according to his statements, Russia’s largest nuclear capability will not be ceded to its war aims.

Putin indicated that the mercies that Russia was open to the fact that the Ukrainian tropes of the two cities were normal. A media visit to the regions allowed journalists to experience “the situation in which the Ukrainian tropas are rodeadas so that the political leaders of Ukraine can make the relevant decisions regarding the destiny of their citizens,” said.

Small groups of Russian soldiers took part in the house-to-house fighting in Kupiansk and Pokrovsk, Ukrainian officials and Russian war bloggers, who put artillery and drones on the roads. The Ukrainian exercise depends on more and more drones to attack the tropes.

The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington expert group, told the Night Martians that Russian forces had advanced in the Pokrovsk region, but “it is certain that there is no current control over their position in the city of Pokrovsk.”

The group said the advances “would likely not cause an immediate collapse of the Ukrainian position towards Pokrovsk.”

Amid concern over the situation in Kupiansk, Ukrainian Conjunta Special Forces spokesman Viktor Trehubov said Putin’s assertion does not coincide with the reality on the ground. “In a few words, no cerco,” Trehubov told the AP.

Russian forces have been moving for most of the year to Pokrovsk, where Ukraine had already become a logistics center in the region when Russia increased pressure late last year. The city, which was home to a total of 60,000 people before the war, is virtually in ruins.

Meanwhile, Ukraine carried out its attacks with drones and long-range missiles in Russian wardrobe areas in a space to disrupt the logistics of oil refineries and manufacturing plants.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said air defenses landed 100 Ukrainian drones in five regions overnight, and 13 airports, including three in the Moscow region, briefly suspended sightings due to the attack.

Russia, while maintaining its campaign against Ukraine’s power grid and civil infrastructure in some of its regions. There are less than 13 people, among them a child of new years, who had children and several civil servants.

Ukraine’s air force said Russia dispersed 126 attack drones and fought through the night.
