Media reports that Ukrainian forces are one kilometer away from the outskirts of Kherson are not true. Source: Nataliia Humeniuk, head of the single coordination press center of the Operational Command “Pivden”, in a briefing Details: Humeniuk was asked about the information published in The Economist. The article states that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already one kilometer away from Kherson. Humeniuk explained that not only is this information not true, but it can also harm the military and civilians. Quote: “Only the military can comment on their progress. Any analysts, MPs or other active political or public figures are only doing harm by making such claims and disclosing such information. Firstly, this information is not true, secondly, it confuses our people, the locals. Such claims damage not only the military operation but also the public image of those who make them.” At the same time, Humeniuk said that Ukrainian forces in southern Ukraine are “advancing slowly but surely” and are demanding media silence for the operation to continue.
