The video released by Russia's west group of forces (Zapad) claiming to show Russian soldiers still present in the village of Nove, Lyman direction, is old.

In the video, the grass is bright green, whereas in reality the grass here has been burned and brown for some time. The video was probably filmed in June or even earlier. Zapad likely has a bunch of pre-recorded videos ready to release to "disprove" the Ukrainian claims of advancing in this sector.
