Russia recycles old videos in attempt to show success against Ukraine's incursion

The Russian Defense Ministry published videos claiming to show successful strikes against Ukrainian forces in Kursk Oblast, but the videos were filmed in other locations and at other times, the Russian independent news outlet the Insider reported on Aug. 10.

The Russian Defense Ministry and state-controlled media circulated videos that they alleged show Russian forces defeating Ukrainian troops in the region. A video published Aug. 9 claimed to show Russian troops carrying out strikes against the Ukrainian military in bordering #Sumy Oblast in response to the Kursk incursion.

The video was in fact first posted weeks before the offensive, the Insider reported. The Russian state media outlet TASS published the video on July 14.

A big purge in power has begun in #Ukraine: the heads of #Dnepropetrovsk, #Sumy, the occupied parts of #Zaporozhye and #Kherson regions resigned

#Zelensky's new decrees:
- Prohibited officials from traveling abroad for a "non-state purpose" (for example, on vacation). This also applies to security officials, prosecutors and everyone who should work for the state;
- There are personnel decisions - some today, some will be tomorrow - regarding managers of various levels in ministries and other structures of the central government and in the regions and in the law enforcement system.

Something must have happened in the meeting with NATO officials during the weekend, a lot of changes happening on government and military tops of Ukraine since then.
