Still trying to pull the wool over our eyes: Ukrainian soldier questioned the General Staff’s claim of holding a village in Dnipropetrovsk region

Servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are casting doubt on the General Staff’s statement that the village of Dachne in the Dnipropetrovsk region remains under Ukrainian control.

One such voice is a Ukrainian soldier with the call sign Muchnoy, who expressed his concerns on Telegram.

“Despite the statements of the General Staff — which no one believes — they continue to throw dust in the eyes of those trying to support and supply the guys on the front lines. It’s time to face the truth and, at least for a moment during this war, forget about ‘physiotherapy sessions’ and start making firm decisions,” the soldier wrote.

Muchnoy claims there is currently no reliable evidence of Ukrainian forces being present in Dachne, while Russian troop activity has been observed both within the village and in nearby areas. According to him, Russian forces are attempting to advance toward Novopavlivka from the south.

“If there are any reports of our presence, it will likely be suicide missions — as we’ve already seen, for example, in Bohatyr: first we claim to be in control, and then those very soldiers are taken out by drones when trying to move out,” he added.

For reference, earlier Russian Telegram channels published footage of the Russian flag being raised in Dachne.
