Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of disseminating false information regarding the military situation on the front. Speaking on the eve of the US Independence Day, Zelensky stated that Putin had misled the world and the US president concerning the status of Kostiantynivka. Zelensky wrote on social media that if Kostiantynivka were genuinely under Russian control, Putin would reportedly have no difficulty meeting with him there to negotiate a diplomatic end to the war.
However, he asserted that Putin would refrain from crossing the front line because the reality contradicted the claims made by the Kremlin. Following a recent Russian attack, Zelensky issued a call for increased international support. The article also noted that on the evening of July 3rd, Putin held a meeting with high-ranking Russian military officials, including the head of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, and other senior commanders.
These statements indicate a continued divergence between official Russian military narratives and the assessments provided by Ukrainian leadership regarding the military situation on the front, particularly concerning key locations like Kostiantynivka. Zelensky’s remarks underscore his belief that the actual military realities differ significantly from the pronouncements made by Putin.
