Ukraine's military intelligence reports on the loyalty of the local population to the russian rebels in belhorod region.
This was said by Andrii Yusov, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, on the air of nationwide telethon.
According to him, a recent events in belhorod region were so unexpected for the aggressor state that disoriented it.
“From the side of the occupying authorities, there is panic, chaos, and uncertainty,” Andriy Yusov said.
The representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine added that the russian-occupied leadership in the belhorod region initiated the evacuation from populated areas due to their own artillery strikes on civilian dwellings and the losses among the russian rebels announced by the moscow side do not correspond to reality.
"This is hastily made propaganda fakes. In reality, russian propaganda has faltered after the events in the belhorod region and still cannot clearly explain any key messages even to its domestic audience. The whole world has seen that a real internal confrontation is developing in russia," Andrii Yusov commented.
He also reported that Ukraine's military intelligence is currently verifying information about the transfer of russian units by moscow from the frontline to russian territory in order to strengthen their own borders.
Andrii Yusov emphasized that the actions of the rebel citizens of the russian federation who establish constitutional order on their territory have much more legitimacy than the criminal kremlin leadership, which has effectively established a regime of internal occupation in russia.
The DIU's representative suggested that the actions of russian volunteers in belhorod region could trigger a chain reaction in other regions of the russian federation, involving an even larger number of people.
