Military observer Denys Popovych stated this on Espreso TV."I have a suspicion that Putin, who is proposing this, is receiving false reports from his command. And we heard that Gerasimov also spoke about this, that there is an encirclement ring, and he has also sent Kupiansk into an encirclement. Although in Kupiansk, there is not even a hint of encirclement," he said.The observer noted that while Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad are at least in a pocket, Kupiansk is not currently in such a position."Yes, Russian army troops are present in the territory of this city, but the city is not under threat of encirclement. Instead, Gerasimov reported this, and obviously, Putin took advantage of it. Well, how could it be otherwise, the Chief of the General Staff himself is saying this. He started making such proposals. Why, in my opinion, is he doing this, based on false information?" Popovych emphasized.In his opinion, this truce proposal is very similar to what happened during Easter."The Easter truce, we remember, led to Russia occupying 'gray' zones and advancing. And, by the way, the consequences of this Easter truce were the enemy's advance between Kostiantynivka and Pokrovsk and the formation of this northern salient, which later resulted for us in Dobropillia and this northern side of the semi-encirclement of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad. Now he obviously wants to repeat this experience, to occupy the 'gray' zones, to take advantageous positions," the observer stated. Popovych believes that later, when this truce ends, the Russians will then try to completely capture this agglomeration."I see such logic in his proposals, which, I repeat, are based on false information regarding the encirclement of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad. Well, and the encirclement of Kupiansk, too," he concluded.Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has ordered the Russian military to "ensure unhindered passage for foreign journalists" to Pokrovsk, Myrnohrad, and Kupiansk. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry has urged not to trust this.
