Oleksandr Syrskyi, the Chief of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, was once again criticized by Maryana Bezuhla, a member of the Verkhovna Rada and "female military supervisor." This time, it was because Syrskyi misrepresented the situation in the Drobobylivka salient north of Bakhmut. Syrskyi said, "Despite continuous enemy counterattacks, the defense forces continue to conduct offensive operations in certain areas. During the operation, 180.8 square kilometers of the Donbas region have been liberated, and 212 saboteurs have been cleared."
However, Syrskyi's so-called "great victory in the Drobobylivka counteroffensive" was strongly refuted by Bezuhla. Bezuhla stated that there had never been any offensive actions, nor had there ever been any. The reserve forces deployed to the salient tried to stabilize the situation but failed.
