31 October 2025 12:12 (UTC +04:00)

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's ban on access to besieged Ukrainian servicemen by foreign and local media is an admission of disaster for Ukrainian servicemen in Krasnoarmeysk, Dimitrov, and Kupyansk, APA's Moscow bureau reports, citing the Russian Defense Ministry.

It was noted that Kyiv's ban on access to the besieged areas by the media through Russian corridors is necessary for Ukraine to deceive the international community and the Ukrainian people.

It was emphasized that senior officials in Kyiv are using these actions to create conditions for the theft of funds allocated by the West for the war with Russia.

Note that on October 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian Armed Forces to ensure unhindered access of foreign journalists to the areas besieged by the Ukrainian army in Krasnoarmeysk, Dimitrov, and Kupyansk.
