The Russians lit up the map of the front, which is laughed at on the Net.

Russian generals continue to report to Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin about non-existent "victories" in Ukraine.

On Saturday, the head of the aggressor country's General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, reporting on how much territory the occupiers managed to seize in the spring and summer, highlighted a map of the frontline that absolutely does not correspond to the situation on the ground.

An analyst writing on the X under the nickname D'Mithridates.

The columnist compared the maps of the Ukrainian monitoring resource DeepState, with the map that was demonstrated by Russian generals, and came to the conclusion that the occupiers designate as captured not only the so-called "gray zone", over which neither side has control, but also the territories controlled by the AFU, where at least once appeared Russian DRG.

For example, on the map of the invaders, the southern outskirts of Pokrovsk, where a Russian DRG was eliminated in July, are marked as territories "controlled by the Russian army".

In addition, the occupiers have assigned themselves "control" over the entire area of their breakthrough near Dobropillya, despite the fact that Ukrainian defenders cut off part of this enemy infiltration.

In particular, the Dnipro OSGV reported on Saturday that enemy units attempting to break through to Dobropillya had been cut off and were encircled.
