Ukraine claimed to have made new advances in its cross-border attack on Russia, saying it had captured more than a thousand square kilometers of territory, the largest foreign military attack on Russian territory since World War II. But Russia did not sit idle either, and made a statement saying that its army had defeated Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region. (CNA)
According to the Western press, Ukraine captured some Russian territories in Kursk, while according to the Asian press, Russia continues to advance in some areas in the Kursk region.
Who is telling the truth and who is lying? It is both lying and telling the truth in both countries. It may try to gain psychological superiority in both countries.
Ukraine may have said that it was advancing on Russian territory in order to silence the criticisms in the West that “Our aid is going to waste. Ukraine cannot win the election and we should cut off the aid.”
