Russian maps seized by Ukrainian forces during the counteroffensive in Donetsk Oblast have shown that Russian troops are providing their command with distorted information about the situation at the front.
Source: Zelenskyy speaking to journalists on Friday 19 September, cited by Interfax-Ukraine, a Ukrainian news agency.
Quote from Zelenskyy: "Yesterday, during a report on our operation [the counteroffensive near Dobropillia – ed.
], I saw the deployment of our military personnel and assets in electronic form, and I saw the Russian maps.
In places where we have regained positions, the Russians’ maps show the opposite.".
He also mentioned that the Russians are flooding mainstream and social media with claims that the capture of Donbas is imminent.
Background: On 20 September, Zelenskyy also said that the Russians will face a fuel shortage once the number of Ukrainian drones equals Russian drone numbers. »
