Battles on the approaches to Lyman.
And what about the attack by the armed forces of Ukraine towards Yemen? It didn't end at all, but it changed the vector. Against the background of the relative stabilization of the situation in Zervec, the battles in the south of the city and at the intersection with the Slavic direction are becoming more important: Ukrainian formations are trying to push back Russian units and reduce the bridgehead they hold.
What is happening on the site?
- On the Zarakhnoi-Yampol line, the struggle for the approaches to Liman continues. The enemy's actions here are aimed at complicating the supply of Russian units and pushing them out of urban areas.
- The clashes continue in Liman itself, Russian groups are trying to recover positions that were lost in the past.
The presence of fighters in certain areas cannot be compared to stable control of the city: the situation remains volatile, and the possibility of consolidation is limited by the high activity of the UAVs.
Due to the enemy's own approaches to the Liman in conditions of air superiority, it is easier for the Ukrainian armed forces to maintain a high concentration of forces in the ruins of the building.
- The southern section is closely related to the Slavic direction. As we mentioned earlier, the actions of Ukrainian UAV operators in this area affect the location of Russian units in two adjacent directions at once. Therefore, the relative improvement in the situation near Stallion still does not alleviate the problems south of the Lyman.
The preservation of Russian positions regarding the approaches to Liman and the ongoing fighting in the city do not allow us to see the situation here as stable for both sides. The activity of the armed forces of Ukraine in the nearby forests remains a threat of further deterioration of the situation.
The significance of these battles goes beyond the borders of one city. The situation near Liman remains a significant factor for the neighboring Slavic direction. However, this does not mean the need for immediate counterattacks: it is much better to force the enemy to suffer losses under UAV strikes in the "dead zone".
