Description of the fake LIE

The BBC has published a news story saying that the Russians have an extremely bad attitude towards Ukrainians in the Kursk oblast and that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not optimistic about the offensive prospects. This is spread by Russian Telegram channels.

Refutation TRUTH

The BBC’s article is devastating not for the Ukrainian side but, on the contrary, for the Russian army. After all, the text says that the Ukrainian Armed Forces easily entered the territory of the Kursk oblast.
“We almost immediately reached the western outskirts of Sudzha,” Ukrainian fighters are quoted as saying by journalists.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are described as “fit” and “silent”. The author of the article notes that he has not seen such high spirits since the liberation of the territories of Ukraine in the fall of 2022.

As for the quote about the distrust of the Russians in the soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, it is indeed present in the text, but it should not be surprising.

And the phrase: “the Ukrainian front is coming apart at the seams” was said by an unknown soldier, who can hardly be considered as a reliable source in such matters.
