“Non hanno così tanto successo” – Zelensky rifiuta le richieste di importanti progressi russi | Zelensky ha respinto le rivendicazioni russe di significativi guadagni del campo di battaglia, definendoli parte di una campagna di disinformazione

From the article: President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Russian claims of significant battlefield gains, calling them part of a disinformation campaign during an interview with Bild published on June 12.

Zelensky rejected claims of Russian advance as “a Russian narrative,” insisting that Ukraine’s forces have been holding off a renewed offensive for nearly three weeks.

“The Russians are not so successful, to say the least,” Zelensky said.

His remarks come amid a surge in Russian military operations across Ukraine’s eastern and northern regions, including Russian claims of territorial gains in Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy oblasts — assertions Kyiv denies.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told the Russian state media on June 9 that the offensive in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Oblast aims to establish a so-called “buffer zone” on Ukrainian territory.

The statement followed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s earlier announcement that Moscow intends to create security corridors along Ukraine’s borders with Russia’s Kursk, Bryansk, and Belgorod regions.

Ukrainian officials denied any Russian advances into Dnipropetrovsk.
