That’s according to DeepState.“Today, a video surfaced showing the enemy raising flags in the Shevchenko and Tsekh No. 2,” the report states. “However, the Russians do not control the city or the areas where the flags were planted.”DeepState notes that over the past two months, Russian troops have made minor advances from the northeast and east toward the Shevchenko neighborhood.“All other developments are simply nighttime infiltrations behind Ukrainian lines using cloaks, followed by flag-raising during daylight,” the analysis continues. “Most of these so-called ‘flag planters’ are already dead — it’s a one-way mission.”Control over Chasiv Yar remains with Ukrainian forces, DeepState emphasizes, citing both operational-level officers and rank-and-file soldiers of the 24th Mechanized Brigade, which is holding the town’s most difficult sector.On July 31, Russian forces unexpectedly announced they had seized full control of Chasiv Yar, a strategic frontline town in eastern Ukraine. But according to Ukrainian military and political analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko, the claim is, at best, premature and, at worst, entirely false.
