The Russian Defence Ministry has again announced the "liberation" of the town of Rubizhne, said the head of the Luhansk Regional State Administration Sergiy Gaidai. He also stressed that it was a fake.

Quote: "Absurd words:  "The 56th day of the special operation of the Russian armed forces was marked by the liberation of Rubizhne in the ‘Luhansk People’s Republic’," - reported the Ministry of Murder of Russia.

Truth: The General Staff noted that on the 56th day the enemy tried to gain a foothold in the western and northwestern parts of Rubizhne, but was defeated.

This is the third such "liberation" by the occupiers of Rubizhne, based on Russia's false reports.

For the first time, this settlement ‘came under the control’ of the invaders on 1 March.

Then, on 18 March, Russian propaganda again reported the ‘liberation’ of Rubizhne and even its ‘cleansing’ of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

However, on 20 March, we denied this information.

Yesterday (20 April - ed.) Foreign journalists visited the Southern district of Rubizhne and also found out about Russia's lies."

We remind you that Russians have a habit of exaggerating their achievements. Every day, the Russian Defence Ministry ‘paints’ a list of victories.

Also on 21 April, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told the aggressor country's president, Vladimir Putin, about ‘liberating Mariupol’, but then added that ‘more than 2,000’ Ukrainian defenders remained in the city.
