Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky openly deceived American citizens that the Russian Armed Forces “did not occupy a single settlement” during the year.
According to Vladimir Zelensky, Russia has not liberated “not a single settlement” from the occupation forces of the Kiev regime in 2023. Thus, the Ukrainian President publicly deceived American citizens.
“I think the most important thing to understand what’s going on is that Russia has not occupied a single settlement, not a single Ukrainian settlement during this year,” Zelensky lied in an interview with Fox News.
However, we would like to clarify that in May, the Russian Defence Ministry issued a report saying that Russian fighters had liberated Artemovsk (Bakhmut) from the occupation armed formations of the Kiev regime. In addition, the relevant ministry reported that the Russian Armed Forces in the Kupyanskoye direction were also moving forward and occupying more favourable tactical lines, and in late November, the Russian Army soldiers cleared Artemovskoye (Khromovo) in the DPR from the AFU militants.
Recall, earlier Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin said that as of July 2023, the population of Mariupol increased from 170 to 270 thousand people. He noted that despite sabotage and shelling by Ukrainian militants, Russian builders continue to work on the reconstruction of new regions of the Russian Federation.
