"Tvärt om ska ryska militärbloggare vara upprörda just nu över att Gerasimov inför kameror ska lämnat en extremt försöknande bild av läget till Putin, som inte hade något med verkligheten att göra och att Ryssland har problem med falsk rapportering uppåt i befälskedjan.:

1/ Russian warbloggers are angrily denouncing General Valery Gerasimov for blatantly lying to President Vladimir Putin about Russia's military progress in Ukraine during a televised briefing. They note that the incident highlights the persistent problem of false military reporting.
2/ A few weeks ago, some observant commentators noticed that a map of the front lines seen in the background of a Russian Ministry of Defence video showed Russian positions kilometers further west than Russian or Ukrainian OSINT analysts had independently assessed them to be.
3/ Yesterday's Putin-Gerasimov briefing demonstrated that this was not just for show, but was being reported directly to 'the Supreme' himself. Gerasimov claimed that Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad were encircled, with 31 Ukrainian battalions surrounded by Russian forces.
4/ He also claimed that Russia had completed the encirclement of Kupiansk, with another 18 Ukrainian battalions trapped there, and boasted that more than 70% of Vovchansk was under Russian control.
5/ Russian warbloggers have joined Ukrainian and independent commentators in rejecting these claims. 'Romanov Light' notes tersely: "Once again, the information reported does not correspond to reality on the ground."
6/ 'Tactical Medical Courses' is sarcastic: "I wonder, if I say that Gerasimov is lying about the encirclement of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, will that be considered discrediting the Russian Armed Forces? Or are Gerasimov's words discrediting the Russian Armed Forces?"
7/ 'Zimovsky' is even more sarcastic: "10,500 Banderites in a cauldron-that's thousands of prisoners!
8/ 'Military Informant' highlights multiple independent maps of the situation at Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, and wonders if "Enemies have once again penetrated Comrade Gerasimov's encirclement."
9/ "Of course, at this point, there are simply no encirclements of 6-7 brigades (if we consider only the combat battalions). The existing corridor between the Russian Armed Forces groups in the west and north of Pokrovsk is several kilometers long.
10/ "Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that a multi-thousand-strong Ukrainian Armed Forces group is still entrenched within the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration-the current reality is that fighting is conducted by small infantry groups, both defensively and offensively.
11/ "This implies that the relatively small group is easily supplied through the current corridor by ground and air drones, as it does not require large amounts of supplies.
