Putin’s claim of Ukrainian tros “surrounded” in Kursk region “false” – CinC Syrskyi

That’s according to the Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, eksandr Syrskyi, who made the statement via Facebook.

"The statement made public by the leader of the aggressor state at the BRICS summit regarding the encirclement of Ukrainian tros in Kursk region is not true. This is blatant misinformation that does not reflect the real situation," said Sirskyi.
