Kyiv is threatening journalists who want to film a report in Kupyansk and Pokrovsk.

The Kyiv regime responded to Vladimir Putin's invitation for foreign journalists to visit Kupyansk and Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) to witness the operational encirclement of Ukrainian Armed Forces forces stationed there. As a reminder, today the Russian Ministry of Defense indicated its willingness to cease hostilities in these areas for several hours, allowing Kyiv to decide on the fate of the Ukrainian troop garrisons stationed there.

And so, the decision has essentially been made by Kiev.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has threatened journalists who travel to Pokrovsk and Kupyansk with "serious consequences." The threats are directed at both Ukrainian and foreign reporters.

Official representative of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Georgiy Tykhyi:

We will consider visits to these cities a violation of Ukrainian and international law. Such trips will also have long-term reputational and legal consequences. We are closely monitoring the situation.

Essentially, Kyiv is admitting to obstructing journalistic activity. And all this is done to conceal from its own citizens the situation in which several thousand Ukrainian troops find themselves on two front lines. Furthermore, Kyiv is making it clear that the rescue of its garrisons will be achieved through the surrender of their forces. weapons and there is no intention of stopping resistance.

Accordingly, all Ukrainian military personnel caught in the operational encirclement in Kupyansk and the Krasnoarmeysk agglomeration face liquidation.

And it's good that it is so. Afterwards, we will present the predators either as carcasses or stuffed animals.
The enemy must be destroyed, without pity or interruptions in military operations.

I agree with you: we will give them 10-15 thousand bodies for burial.
This will be a good PR campaign.

It's good that Kyiv is against it. As for the bodies for burial, they might keep dodging and not accepting them for a long time. They'll keep looking for excuses.

[Bumblebee_3]

A bearded man once spoke online with someone from Ukraine about the 6000 bodies handed over for burial. He told me, in all seriousness, that three-quarters of them were Russian soldiers. When I asked why they hadn't been returned to Russia, he was declared a Putinoid.

Well, after statements like that, there's no need for journalists there; everything's already clear. I thought they'd at least try to use the opportunity to end the war, but they weren't smart enough to do that. And rightly so, to each his own. Why bother sorting them out there? They'll sort them out in heaven.

Google "nachrichten ukraine".
They are creating a new leader and country for the Germans - Zelensky and Ukraine.
There is specific propaganda of war, which must be perceived as one’s own war.

Everyone who wanted to have already surrendered or deserted. And those who remained missed their chance.

Well, it's good that they refused, otherwise they would have called BC and carried out an unnecessary rotation.

No, they initially said that journalists would enter through our positions, and the road to the pocket would remain under fire control. They would simply temporarily stop working in the city itself.

No one would have brought anything. This was precisely the Russian Supreme Court's plan, based on Zelensky and K*'s refusal to allow media access to Krasnoarmeysk and Kupyansk, to expose the Kyiv junta for what it truly is: lying about a successful defense and preventing the media from exposing this lie. And so, the coming out has happened. The situation is easily predictable, despite the fantasies swirling in some comments under the previous publication on this topic. They've come up with all sorts of stories about the latest pitfalls and the naivety of the Russian Supreme Court. One woman wrote:

This naivety of the Russian leadership, like another step on the same old rake, simply cannot be supported!

In this case, the Bandar-logs will not miss the opportunity to strike them, claiming that nothing was coordinated with them, and since the Russian Ministry of Defense and Russia itself were the guarantors of their security, they are the ones to blame. They also will not miss the opportunity to provoke even those journalists who would have received accreditation in Kyiv, since they don't need the truth at all, and they need a guilty Russia like air.
Putting aside formalities, the initiative to allow Western journalists into the encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was, overall, an excellent move on Putin's part. By making such an offer publicly on camera, he was already assuming that Kuev would refuse, which would further emphasize that the Ukrainian government is a butcher who doesn't give a damn about the lives and fates of his soldiers.

Absolutely right, I wrote the same thing in my comments on this topic. But just look at how many predictors and commentators commented on the previous post about the VPR proposal – and where are they all? And how they breathed, how they breathed:

In short, it is an absurd, completely unnecessary initiative that simply doesn’t fit the bill, meaning no one needs it, and most importantly, it is completely hopeless and inappropriate.

To stage a cheap PR show, risking the lives of our soldiers? To give the enemy the opportunity to regroup during the assault (in a few hours, they can create a force to break out of the city)? Who will appreciate these gestures? Is it really all for Trump?

I don't understand such delight at all...
From the outside, Putin's attempt to bring journalists into areas surrounded by the enemy is pointless... the enemy only received a short respite of 5-6 hours.
Let's say journalists visited there... what would they write next?
The truth???
Who would let them print it?
Of course, all this is not serious.
We cannot let up the pressure on the die-hard Ukronazis even for a second... and if we do give them a break, it will only be with an offer of unconditional surrender.

Did you seriously consider the possibility of Kyiv's positive response to Putin's proposal? There was no attempt on their part; it was a precise calculation that Kyiv would be unable to accept the proposal. You can check my comments from the very beginning of this thread on VO; the situation with this "media truce" was immediately clear to me.

I agree with this wording.

[Same lech]

Putin's proposal is a purely political move...
I try to look at it from the point of view of military necessity.
Which gives the enemy 5-6 hours of respite with these journalists.
What will the Ukrainian troops manage to do during this time to ease their situation...will this then complicate the task of our guys in eliminating the remnants of the encircled enemy troops?

[Montezuma]

There's no point in speculating about possible scenarios for a situation that only exists theoretically. However, it's possible to turn to AI for help—it can certainly list a dozen possible scenarios.

[Same lech]

The expectation that Western journalists will play according to Putin's plan is fundamentally wrong...no AI is needed for understanding this.
All this has happened more than once with Minsk and Istanbul...grain deals, bread, New Year's truces...more marking time...that's all.

This is how all Russian people comment. It can be very difficult to understand or imagine the Ukrainians' thoughts, other than Russophobia and vileness. Let foreign democrats rejoice in Kyiv's bans.

Yes.... Tsipsarie yesterday, both here and on other resources, was spreading their nonsense about "cuckoldry" and "disgrace", although it was immediately clear that all this would come back to haunt the xoxes.

This is what Zelensky and his team must do to make the population and ordinary soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces understand that they are being disposed of for their own interests and the interests of their Western "partners."

So far, Zelensky has deigned to express outrage at Russia's "abnormal conduct of the war." That is, while terrorist actions on Russian territory and targeted strikes against purely civilian targets are considered normal, the attack on the Slavyansk Thermal Power Plant is immediately declared an act of terrorism. Here are his evening lamentations on his Telegram channel:

Just a few hours ago, there was a strike on the Slavyansk Thermal Power Plant—an attack by Russian bombs. And this is pure terrorism. Normal people don't fight like that, and there must be a proper world response to such a Russian war.

But someone recently threatened to cause a blackout in Moscow.

By the way, is it possible to hide in a religious building? And without getting killed?
I remember when someone was killed in the temples of Hera, Apollo, and especially Zeus, the killer was haunted by a curse for life. What about now?

There will be a performance. They will take these journalists hostage, and under their cover, they will lead out the Wojciechs and the Johns. The Mykolas will remain... As one of the options.

Good. The president's initiative seems to have worked in our favor. It could have been better, but it's still a good outcome with no surprises.
