During a live broadcast Fityo said, “We simply don’t report on the repulse of 100-200 meters, and for Russian propagandists, any victory must be presented to explain why they lost 7,055 soldiers at the front in the Khortytsia zone of responsibility in January alone.”
Fityo said that daily the frontlines move and the village of Krokhmalne in the Khortytsia zone only has only “five houses,” which has “no strategic importance.”
