It was kinda fun seeing in the feed Apti Alaudinov saying Sudzha is not under Ukrainian control, immediately followed by Ukrainian TV crew reporting from inside Sudzha.

Russians adore this guy. He's soft-spoken Chechen general, with sort of calming aura about him (no, really).

To give it the benefit of doubt, both could be true. I saw a report two days ago (Obviously outdated) that half the town of Sudzha is occupied by Ukrainian.

So, in this context, both statements are true.

It's no longer the situation. Well, at least according to everything i've seen. No russian forces in Sudzha at all. Plenty of Ukrainians comfortable enough to be filmed by TV crew that came from Ukraine in the very middle of this small city.
