At the front, the situation for the Ukrainian army is not as good as the Kyiv authorities say.
The PolitNavigator correspondent reports this as stated by the editor-in-chief of the propaganda Kyiv online publication Censor.net, Yuri Butusov, who was at the front.
According to him, Ukrainian soldiers in the trenches are often surprised that the information space is overflowing with optimistic news about the stabilization of the situation.
“Because they don’t feel it here. There is a very fierce fight going on. We cannot announce in the news even 5% of what is actually happening, regarding the very course of hostilities. But on the entire front there is a very brutal struggle with a very powerful enemy, who is making every effort to destroy our combat-ready formations, demoralize our society and force society to capitulate,” says the propagandist.
He also admitted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were suffering huge losses.
“The President said that up to a hundred of our soldiers die every day. There are days when more people die. And that's just the dead. In addition, there are hundreds of wounded. This is a very brutal war with very large losses,” Butusov added.
Previously, he was prohibited from visiting units on the front line. After this, he issued an ultimatum to the president's office.
“I demand that the leadership of the OP immediately reconsider its instructions and cancel this absurd order. Otherwise, I will return from the front to cover the political situation and spend time demonstrating your numerous mistakes and inaction,” Butusov threatened.
