Ukraine Denies Putin’s Claim of Capturing Kozacha Lopan Near Russian Border
Ukrainian forces said the village remains under their control and reported 178 Russian soldiers killed and 210 wounded in the area.
- On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed Russian forces captured the Kharkiv village of Kozacha Lopan, but the 14th Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine rejected this, asserting the settlement remains under full Ukrainian control.
- This claim is part of a recurring pattern where Russia announces territorial gains that do not correspond to reality, with Ukrainian officials saying such false reports are increasingly used for domestic propaganda.
- The 14th Army Corps reported inflicting significant losses, with 178 Russian soldiers killed and 210 wounded during active fighting, while DeepState confirms the village remains fully controlled by Ukrainian defense forces outside any "gray zone."
- On Wednesday, the Russian Ministry of Defense released a video as purported "evidence" to bolster the claim, though Ukrainian forces dismissed the unclear footage as another misrepresentation of the situation.
- Kozacha Lopan remains critical due to its proximity to the Russian border; Russian forces occupied the village on Feb. 24, 2022, subjecting residents to isolation and fear before its liberation in Sept 2022.
