The corps commander, Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky, immediately reacted to the loud lie of the Russian command.
Corps units repel about 40 enemy assaults per day on the approaches to the Liman and prevent the enemy from entering the city.

Despite the fact that in recent weeks alone, the Russian army has made dozens of attempts to infiltrate small groups on the outskirts of the city, the enemy was unable to implement its plan.
Yes, many Russian invaders were eliminated and captured.
For example, one of the captured Russians thanks the Russian military intelligence officer in the video for "draining" their positions on Telegram. Our fighters quickly discovered the enemy. Part of the group was destroyed on the spot, but he was lucky to be captured and survive.
The commander of the 63rd Motorized Rifle Brigade, Colonel Pavlo Yurchuk, also made a statement on this occasion.
He draws attention to the fact that during the years of full-scale war, Gerasimov "burned" his army without taking full control of a single Ukrainian region.
"That's why, while our units are nipting in the bud any Russian attempts to approach the Liman, he is reporting to Putin about non-existent successes," Yurchuk explained.
