Russian TV Aghast at Ukraine Advance: 'We Are Retreating–What's Happening?'

[Guno צְבִי]

Russian State TV host Sergey Mardan confronted a former military commander on why Russia was unable to prevent Ukraine from taking back Lyman following the defeat.

Russia's loss of Lyman, which is located in the Donetsk region and was being used as a transport and logistics hub, presented a fresh blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin as he escalated the war by annexing four regions of Ukraine.

The Russian State TV host's guest, Andrey Gurulyov, the former deputy commander of Russia's southern military district, said he was unable to give a valid reason for the failings.

"The problem we have is the constant delivery of good reports, or you can call it constant lying. This system does not go from bottom to the top, but top to bottom."

He was then cut off with the host saying it was due to connectivity issues.

In a follow-up tweet, Davis said that he was later re-connected, but "didn't say much else about Lyman or endemic lying."

"Valid reason" = state-approved, eh?
