The news that a RT military journalist was killed by a drone is false; the Russian forces have already controlled the southern area of the city of Red Army.

According to Russia's Zvezda TV, RT military journalist Andrey Filatov is still reporting from the front line in Krasnoye Selo, during which he avoided an attack by a Ukrainian FPV drone. Previously, it was reported that Filatov had gone missing and lost contact after being attacked by a Ukrainian FPV drone at this front line.

The news about Andrey Filatov being killed by a drone as reported by Ukrainian media is fake news.

On the afternoon of July 26, the Russian Aerospace Forces conducted an air strike using the ODAB-1500 aerial bomb on the positions of the 14th National Guard Brigade of Ukraine near Dmytrivka in the direction of Krasnoye Selo. The artillery forces of the Central Military District of Russia combined with rocket artillery forces launched attacks on the positions of the 25th Brigade of the Ukrainian army stationed in the city of Krasnoye Selo.

According to multiple sources (as well as information provided by Ukrainian media and some foreign mercenaries stationed in Krasnoye Selo), the current situation in Krasnoye Selo is as follows: the intensity of the fighting is still increasing, and the fact that the Russians have basically controlled the southern part of the city of Krasnoye Selo is undeniable.

The Russian offensive from the Zvezdovo direction is continuing, and offensives from the Troystanyta direction have also been repeatedly recorded. The 32nd Mechanized Brigade, which came for reinforcements, was hit by about 50 FAB aerial bombs in the past day alone.

The Russian forces continue to eliminate the Ukrainian defenders in the city of Krasnoye Selo. It has been reported that the Ukrainian forces are organizing troops to prepare for a counterattack from Kotlina. After the destruction of the 155th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian forces, the symbol of the 155th Brigade of Ukraine disappeared from the official situation map of Ukraine.

However, today afternoon, the Ukrainian General Staff statement again claimed that "the defenses of Krasnoye Selo are impregnable, and the Russian forces have failed to capture it despite prolonged attacks, suffering heavy losses."

On July 26, Andriyenko, the advisor to the mayor of Mariupol appointed by Ukraine, told Fox News in the United States that the Russian army has mobilized a large number of equipment to the Zaporozhye and Krasnoye Selo directions to strengthen the attacks on these two directions, and the loss of Krasnoye Selo is an inevitable result.
