| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | Open | Unresolvable | Open 12 months after it was said (2024-08-07) with nothing in the record to settle it. ev-20261027-d769 records General Valery Gerasimov's claim, which the Kyiv Independent said it could not verify. Later events, ev-20261027-1cpr and ev-20261027-s1vy, carry Russian and Ukrainian officials' accounts of further Ukrainian gains, but the record holds no independent reporting on the front line after 7 August. |
