Several reports have confirmed the diversionary tactic of Ukrainian armed forces to disinform Russia and trick them into sending resources south, leaving the Kharkiv region in a more vulnerable position.

A tactical Ukrainian disinformation campaign on a southern counter-offensive was successful in diverting Russian military resources away from the northeastern front line in the Kharkiv region to the city of Kherson and the south.

Ukrainian President Zelensky, speaking on Telegram, stated that 30 settlements had now been liberated in the Kharkiv region by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, while various other operations were still underway to secure parts of the regional territory.

Valery Zalouzhny, said his troops had taken over 1,000 km2 of his territory that had been formerly occupied. “In recent days, the Russian army has shown us what it has best: it’s back. After all, it is a good choice for them to flee,” he said. “There is no place in Ukraine for the occupiers, and there never will be,” he added.

An estimate of 2,500km2 of territory has been won back, according to Ukrainian authorities. Re-capturing towns such as Kapiansk, Izum and Balakliya have strategic significance that has broken up Russian supply lines to the front.
