According to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Ukraine has managed a coup. A video published by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry via X, formerly Twitter, reportedly shows Ukraine successfully attacking a Russian tank convoy. This reports the German news website fr.de.
In the video of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Russian tanks can be seen, presumably of the type T90. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense writes: “Once again, an attempted attack by the Ruscists (mixed word of Russians and fascists, editor’s note) south of Bakhmut, which failed.” Sequences follow in which violent explosions are seen. Several of the T90s are reported to have burned out.
Bakhmut is a city in eastern Ukraine in the Donetsk oblast. For months it has been the scene of fierce fighting between Ukraine and Russia. The video from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense is available here (Note: The link leads to the short message service X).

In war, it can be advantageous for parties to make false statements about the course of the conflict in order to strengthen their own position or weaken the position of the opponent.
