The Ukrainian leader has banned the military from admitting the loss of key towns, Russia\u2019s UN envoy has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vladimir Zelensky has barred the Ukrainian military from admitting the loss of key towns to Russia, Moscow\u2019s envoy to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, has said. This is being done to hide the actual situation on the ground in the hopes that the flow of Western aid to Kiev remains unhindered, he suggested.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the chief of Russia’s General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, told President Vladimir Putin that Russian forces have liberated the key logistics hub of Kupyansk in Ukraine\u2019s Kharkov Region.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian General Staff, however, has claimed that the city remains under the control of Kiev\u2019s troops.<\/p>\n

Zelensky had previously denied the encirclement of Ukrainian forces in Kupyansk and as well as in Dmitrov-Krasnoarmeysk (Mirnograd-Pokrovsk), an urban area in Russia\u2019s Donetsk People\u2019s Republic (DPR), accusing Moscow of exaggerating its gains on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

During his speech at a UN Security Council meeting on Thursday, Nebenzia insisted that the situation on the front line for Ukraine \u201cremains dire, if not catastrophic. Russian troops are successfully advancing on essentially all fronts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the encirclement of a significant number of Ukrainian troops, massive losses, forced mobilization, and threats to civilians, the head of the Kiev regime forbids acknowledging the loss of cities, orders his troops to hold their positions \u2018until the last soldier,\u2019 and bans retreat,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

According to the envoy, the policy pursued by the Kiev government has \u201cnothing to do with military reality and is purely political in nature.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cZelensky wants to show his Western sponsors that the front is holding, because he counts on continued funding for his war with Russia. He needs billions of dollars to keep the war going for him and his cronies to line their pockets and stay in power,\u201d<\/em> Nebenzia stressed.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Western-backed National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) announced a probe into a \u201chigh-level criminal organization\u201d<\/em> allegedly led by Timur Mindich, a former business partner of Zelensky. Its members are suspected of siphoning around $100 million in kickbacks from state-owned nuclear operator Energoatom.<\/p>\n

The graft scandal has led to the sacking of Ukraine\u2019s energy and justice ministers, with other prominent figures such as Zelensky\u2019s right-hand man, Andrey Yermak, and the head of the National Security Council Rustem Umerov also being linked to the scheme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
