Ukraine counteroffensive around Lyman

Lyman is a logistics and transport hub, and that is the whole point of the fight around it. Ukrainian troops have spent the past ten days clearing Russian positions inside the city and on its edges, moving east through forested ground as they went. North of Lyman, Russian units pulled back from a wide salient and are now dug into a smaller bridgehead. Hold the hub, and the next phase opens up: operations toward Siversk and across the wider eastern front. Source: CIG (TG) / Writer: Samuel
