“ The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine advises journalists not to believe the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, when he offers mass media to visit the sites of hostilities and promises a temporary ceasefire there. Source: MFA spokesman Georgy Tykhi on the X network Details: The day before, Putin said that Ukrainian troops were blocked and surrounded in Pokrovsk and Myrnograd (neighboring cities in Donetsk region), as well as in Kupyansk (Kharkiv region). To make sure of this, he proposed to “ensure unhindered passage of foreign journalists, including Ukrainian ones,” to the districts of these cities. The Russian command promises to stop hostilities in these areas for 5-6 hours and to ensure unhindered entry and exit corridors for representatives of foreign media. Tikhoi’s direct speech: “Frankly, I do not recommend that journalists trust any of Putin’s proposals regarding “corridors” in the combat zone. I saw with my own eyes how such proposals end – on August 29, 2014 in Ilovaisk. Putin’s only goal is to prolong the war. And he has never kept any of his promises about a ceasefire. Do not help him justify his crimes through Russian provocations against journalists.” Details: The Foreign Ministry spokesman also reminded all media that any visits to Russian-occupied territory without Ukraine’s permission are a violation of the law and will have “long-term reputational and legal consequences.” “We are closely monitoring this,” he emphasized. What preceded it: The United Forces of Ukraine said that heavy fighting was going on in Kupyansk and its surroundings, but reports of the encirclement of Ukrainian troops there are fiction. For their part, the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Airborne Assault Forces and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi said that Russian troops were unable to gain a foothold in Pokrovsk, and Russia’s claims that the city was surrounded were lies.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
