I can't tell for sure if you're saying this news was not reported in Russia, if you just don't pay attention to Russian media or if you're simply seeking confirmation. Even Russian media is reporting, in recent days, that Russia has lost control of about 2,500 square kilometers in Kharkiv Oblast, including Izyum and Kupyansk, in the fast moving Ukrainian counter-offensive. However, just as they did with the ill-fated attack on Kyiv, they're spinning it as part of their overall plan, like it was intentional. Only problem? No obvious plan “C" has yet materialized.

Have you seen the drone footage of the Russian tank fleeing in panick and then it gets taken out by a pro-Ukrainian tree? It looks staged, almost like a comedy, but it's been independently verified and geo-located as authentic.
