We will remind that Russian propaganda last week spread the information that the Russian Armed Forces allegedly captured Kherson and that their infantry is already on the right bank of the Dnieper. The Ukrainian military refuted these reports by publishing real footage from the Ostriv (Korabel) microdistrict and the village of Sadove, where it is clear that the enemy is not there.
