The commander of the Third Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Andriy Biletskyi, refutes Putin’s claim that russians have supposedly taken another Ukrainian city: Sviatohirsk remains under the control of the Third Army Corps! “Glory to Ukraine! You've all probably heard: “Russian forces have taken full control of Svyatohirsk city and beyond” Over the past month, 14 populated areas fell under Russian control, Kazachia Lopan was “liberated”, and yesterday, the city of Svyatohirsk. I want to address the Russian military and political leadership. There are no Russian soldiers, are there? Take off your clown noses, those multi-colored wigs of yours. Don't look like fools. Svyatohirsk was never meant to have Russian soldiers. This is, in principle, a pretty place, of course. Preferably dressed in body armor, but you can walk around without any problems. The day, as you can see, is quiet and beautiful. A civilian car is passing by. In short, this is Svyatohirsk itself, its center, its heart, so to speak. The monastery, the Mother of God, is there. Artem is there. The city of Svyatohirsk is located within the defense zone of the 60th mechanized brigade of the third army corps. This is the rear zone of our corps. Everything is great here. In short, that's all. A good day to everyone. Glory to Ukraine!” - Andriy Biletskyi, The commander of the Third Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on Monday, September 7th, 2026.
