The Kremlin continues to inhabit a fabricated reality where the occupying army demonstrates “outstanding victories” based on falsified maps from the military command.
The press secretary of the Russian dictator, Dmitry Peskov, stated unequivocally on the air of the propaganda radio station “Komsomolskaya Pravda” that the Russian army has allegedly achieved “very important successes” on the front in the war against Ukraine.
According to Peskov, Moscow allegedly “welcomes” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s desire for negotiations. However, the Kremlin spokesperson immediately negated this move towards “peacefulness” with a traditional threat, assuring that the war would still continue until the so-called “defined goals” are reached.
To add weight to his words, Peskov voiced fresh Kremlin fantasies about the invaders’ “important successes” on the front.
However, the secret of these “successes” was quickly revealed by independent researchers.
While Peskov was reporting on victories on the radio, OSINT analysts discovered that the combat maps shown to Volodymyr Putin by Russian military leaders have very little in common with reality.
In particular, OSINT analyst M0nstas compared the official front map of the Russian Ministry of Defense with data from authoritative analytical projects and found deception.
By overlaying the maps from DeepState and the Suriyak project onto the map displayed in the office during Putin’s meeting with generals, the analyst found a huge discrepancy. In the first case, the deviation in favor of the Kremlin’s fantasies was 1900 sq. km, and in the second, as much as 1950 sq. km.
Ukrainian blogger Roman Shrayk drew attention to what exactly the Russian generals “added” to reassure their leader. According to him, on the Kremlin’s paper maps, the occupiers:
-
allegedly have already come very close to Sloviansk and Kramatorsk;
-
“completely took control” of Chasiv Yar;
-
“approached” Dobropillia and captured a significant portion of Pokrovsk;
-
“occupied” Orikhiv and are already storming the approaches to Zaporizhzhia.
“That is, this is exactly the absurdity that Putin recently read from a teleprompter on camera. And yes, looking at this nonsense, one can believe that Russia will soon take Donbas, or even Zaporizhzhia. That’s what Putin believes,” Shrayk ironically commented on the total disinformation within the Russian leadership.
Thus, while Peskov assures radio listeners of the inevitability of achieving the “goals of the SMO,” the Russian general staff simply draws thousands of square kilometers of “virtual” victories for Putin, which exist only in folders marked “secret.”
Earlier, the head of the Center for the Study of Occupation, Petro Andriushchenko, confirmed that the combat map shown to the Russian dictator Volodymyr Putin differs significantly from the actual state of affairs on the front line. The Russian General Staff significantly inflates the area of territories allegedly under the control of the Russian army.
We remind you that independent analysts, in particular, do not confirm the Russian leadership’s statements about the complete occupation of Kostiantynivka. According to their assessment, the Kremlin’s report is part of an information campaign aimed at shaping the desired impression among the Western audience.
