Malokaterynivka in the Zaporizhzhia region remains under the control of Ukrainian forces.
This was reported by the Centre for Countering Disinformation, citing the spokesperson for the “South” grouping of forces, Maksym Kravchuk.
Accordingly, the statement by Russia’s Chief of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, about the occupation of Malokaterynivka, as well as claims that Russian troops are supposedly 5 kilometres from Zaporizhzhia, does not correspond to reality.
“To confirm this, Ukrainian servicemen of the 128th Separate Heavy Mechanised Brigade recorded a video directly from Malokaterynivka. At the same time, the distance from the line of contact to the southern outskirts of Zaporizhzhia is about 25 kilometres,” the Centre said.
