Wow. Sorry for the cold splash of reality on this Christmas day, but if this source (off my Politics List on teh Tweeters) is to be believed, #VladimirPutin has been lied-to very, very badly about the imminent collapse and #Russian capture of the strategic #Ukraine city of #Kup'yans'k
"Vladimir Putin has suffered a stinging humiliation on Christmas Day as Ukraine took full control of Kup'yans'k.
The Russian ruler has been boasting in recent weeks that his forces stormed the strategic city in Ukraine's Kharkiv region.
But pro-war Moscow channels have now admitted that Putin's troops have been routed and forced out in a 'worse than critical' defeat.
Ukraine always denied that Russia had grabbed full control and two weeks ago Zelensky even visited part of the city to taunt Putin over his false claims.
At this point, the control was divided between Russia and Ukraine. However, it is now fully under Ukraine's control, according to reports."
Heads will roll...
