This was a polish guy claiming it over a day ago from an over exaggerated Ukrainian report, which was retweeted by an american guy, then added to a video by a british youtuber, then posted on reddit where you saw it. No Ukrainian or russian sources are mentioning it. It's a rumour that grew, but based on nothing unfortunately.
A post on reddit is not a good source to use. By the time it gets to reddit it's already old or reposted with a different title by a bot a lot of the time. It's better to get info straight from Ukrainian or russian channels on telegram if you want up to date info.

Thanks. I will try that.. I have been wishing that there was a single good reliable frontline news source, and maybe that is it. It seems that /r/ukraine wants to focus on morale and happy news. Which I totally get, and it serves its purpose well. I am sure that there are people who need the daily uplift, and I go there many times a day as well. I also find the best donation spots there.

I think perhaps in the entire history of war there has never been nor ever will be a reliable frontline news source. War is one of the most complex human endeavors we undertake, and there’s a reason “fog of war” is a military term. Couple a war on the ground with a war online (where both sides fight for the hearts, minds, and eyeballs of the rest of the world) and it’s a nearly impossible thing for the average Joe to get a truly accurate sense of.
