Marianna Bezuhova, a member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, stated on social media that Russian forces have entered Red Army City. Russian media stated that in fact, the first reconnaissance and sabotage teams of the Russian army had already infiltrated the city last week, as usual, the deterioration of the situation is always recognized only after it has been delayed.
Last week, Ukrainian soldiers released a video in which they were driving pickup trucks in Red Army City and were ambushed by Russian infiltration forces, which made the outside world aware that the Russian strike teams had indeed infiltrated the city. Some Ukrainian media said that due to heavy casualties among the defenders, there were large gaps in the front lines, allowing small groups of Russian strike teams to infiltrate the city. Subsequently, the Russians released a video showing the infiltration units talking with local residents who remained in the city, and stated that the strike teams had already taken control of some high-rise buildings. Ukrainian media expressed caution, stating that communication with Ukrainian forces in the city was difficult at the moment, and it was unclear how the situation really was. Some Russian media stated that Russian infiltration forces had even reached the center of the city, and both sides were engaged in fierce fighting in the city.
