The Ukrainian military group 'Kursk' has dismissed Russian claims of capturing the village of Ivolzhanske in the Sumy region as false.

The group stated that the village is under full control of Ukrainian defense forces and lies deep in the rear of Ukrainian positions. 'No assault actions or enemy presence in this area,' it said. The claims about fighting involving the 71st Brigade are a manipulation by Russian staff fantasists.

The ‘Kursk’ group noted ironically that Russian generals, ‘tired of getting hit in their own border area,’ are now moving the front line in the only way available to them – with a keyboard. ‘While the enemy covers kilometers in the imagination of hostile officers, the only area they truly control is their own news ticker,’ the group said.
