On August 13, the Ukrainian General Staff responded to questions from American and Western media journalists regarding the situation of the Red Army Village's northern wing, stating that the Russian army has a total of 110,000 troops in the direction of Red Army Village. However, it said that the forces currently breaking through the Ukrainian defense are only small groups of reconnaissance and sabotage personnel (DRG), and the situation is controllable, asking everyone not to believe or spread rumors.
However, according to information provided by various Ukrainian military sources, the current situation is not controllable. The breakthrough forces of the Russian army are not just small groups of DRG. Some mechanized units have also joined in, and the Ukrainian military's troop movements clearly are not arranged to deal with small groups of DRG.
Zelenskyy implied in his speech yesterday that he is preparing to use a ceasefire as a temporary measure, saying that Ukraine "needs more time to prevent the enemy from overwhelming us."
