Russian military channels are increasingly painting a difficult picture around Lyman.

Russian military channels are increasingly painting a difficult picture around Lyman. Russian units appear to have been pushed back toward the Zherebets River, although some settlements still need visual confirmation. Russian sources themselves acknowledge Ukrainian crossings at several points, with troops pushing toward Terny and Balka Zhuravky and operating around Novosadove. Fighting is also reported near Zarichne.Russian accounts describe badly depleted units, fresher Ukrainian formations and growing resupply problems as Ukrainian strikes hit crossings and drone activity remains heavy. Our assessment is that this is not a collapse of the Russian front (yet), but sustained and increasing pressure with the trend currently very unfavorable for Russia.
