The Spin

Pro-Russia narrative

Russian forces continue to advance in nearly all areas of the frontline and continue to inflict large losses on Ukraine. The most recent demonstration of this is within Dnipropetrovsk, where Russian forces recently liberated Kalynivske.

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Ukraine continues to reclaim territory north of Pokrovsk. A total of seven settlements have been recaptured, while nine have been cleared of Russian reconnaissance operations. Meanwhile, its claims about advances in Dnipropetrovsk are false. Infiltration groups may have reached the village and raised the Russian flag for propaganda purposes, but these groups are then quickly eliminated.
