"As tensions between Russia and Europe continue to grow, Moscow has tried to present its ground war in Ukraine as unstoppable. The Kremlin claimed last week to be in control of two-thirds of the buildings in Kupiansk, a city in Ukraine's northern Kharkiv region. Russian troops have blocked a large group of the enemy from the northern and western sides, taking it in a half-ring, said the Ministry of Defence in Moscow."
"On September 25, Russia's Defence Ministry also claimed to have seized 4,714 square kilometres (1,820 square miles) of Ukrainian territory this year. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a Washington-based think tank, independently assessed the real figure to be closer to 3,434sq km (1,325sq miles). Russia continues to artificially inflate its claims of advance in Ukraine to support the Kremlin's false narrative that a Russian victory in Ukraine is inevitable, said the ISW."
Donald Trump is moving closer to Ukraine as a top European official warns that Europe is no longer at peace amid airspace disputes with Russia. Tensions between Russia and Europe are escalating. Moscow claims its ground war in Ukraine is unstoppable and says it controls two-thirds of buildings in Kupiansk. Russian forces claim to have partially encircled Kupiansk to open a route toward Donetsk and the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk area. Russia reported seizing 4,714 sq km this year, while the Institute for the Study of War estimates about 3,434 sq km and accuses Moscow of inflating its gains to portray an inevitable victory.
