Details: Ukrainian troops have refuted statements by Valery Gerasimov, head of Russia's General Staff, who claimed that Russian forces were carrying out a "mopping-up operation" in urban districts of Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi. These claims were questioned even by Russian military bloggers.
Quote from the Ukrainian military: "The Joint Forces grouping never ceases to be amazed by the ability of Russian generals not only to exaggerate their achievements but also to invent them from scratch. We would also like to remind them that, in accordance with international humanitarian law, qualified medical assistance from specialist doctors — including narcologists — can be obtained in Ukrainian captivity."
