Russian Armed Forces are destroying enemy units in Grishino, Gerasimov stated

Russian Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov reports that Russian forces, particularly the West and Center battlegroups, are conducting active offensive operations along multiple fronts in the so‑called special military operation in Ukraine. He claims Russian units are destroying Ukrainian forces in areas including Grishino and the eastern bank of the Oskol River, and that the settlement of Glushkovka has been captured. These statements signal a Russian attempt to portray operational momentum and territorial gains, with implications for the military balance in eastern Ukraine and for political messaging in Moscow and Kyiv.
