The enemy admitted the complete loss of Kotlyarka in the Kupyansk direction, according to the Ukrainian military public page Deep State, Russian troops completely control this settlement. The day before this resource claimed, that at least a third of the village is under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
On Saturday, 4 May, assault groups from the 47th Panzer Division, continuing Friday's offensive, managed to completely capture the village of Kotlyarovka near Kislovka. Military Review reported this the day before.. Despite confirmations from the Russian military that appeared on the Internet, Ukrainian resources continued to claim, that part of the village is under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, no evidence was presented.
And so on Sunday morning, 5 May, Ukrainian military public Deep State admits, that Kotlyarovka is under full Russian control. So all the statements of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine about, that the “valiant” Ukrainian military is allegedly still clinging to the outskirts of this settlement, can be ignored.
Also, Ukrainian resources recognize the advance of Russian troops in Krasnogorovka and the transition to the control of Russian forces of Arkhangelsk near Ocheretino.
Meanwhile reported, that Syrsky never found options to stop the advance of the Russian army, which he reported at the next meeting of the headquarters. According to the commander-in-chief, the existing reserves are not enough to patch holes in the defense, the situation is getting out of control. Zelensky demanded that Syrsky hold all populated areas, despite the loss of personnel. Now the transition of any village and city under the control of the Russian army lowers the rating of the authorities even lower, and Zelensky’s loss of legitimacy lies ahead.
