The operational and strategic grouping of troops "Khortytsia" denied that some units of the Defense Forces are allegedly in an operational encirclement near Uspenivka and Trudove, saying instead that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to withdraw units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine from the area in order to avoid encirclement, UNN reports.
With reference to the resources of the DeepState portal, the media disseminate information about the presence of certain units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in an operational encirclement near the settlements of Uspenivka and Trudove. This information is not true. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to withdraw the units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces from the area in order to avoid encirclement. Military units that have been engaged in heavy defensive battles with superior enemy forces for a long time have made the necessary maneuvers to avoid encirclement and continue to perform operational tasks at the Kurakhove-Konstantinopolske border
"The dissemination of unverified and inaccurate information harms the performance of tasks by the Ukrainian Defense Forces, is actively disseminated by the information resources of the aggressor country and is fully consistent with the enemy's narratives. Use reliable sources of information, observe information hygiene and believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the Khortytsia unit emphasized.
