Ukrainian defenders hold Lyman, although the enemy tries to advance towards the city. The Russian army does not reach the city, the soldiers are destroyed on the approach.
This was stated by the spokesman for the Joint Forces Group, Viktor Tregubov, during a telethon, writes Channel 24 .
Will the Russians reach the Liman?
The operations of the Ukrainian Defense Forces do not allow the enemy to advance to the Liman. The enemy allows small infantry groups in this direction, which actually do not have time to reach the Ukrainian positions. Although Tregubov noted: for the occupiers, achieving success near the Liman is critically important.
They are constantly carrying out attacks, there is a sufficient amount of concentrated manpower there to carry out these attacks constantly. On the other hand, they are constantly being destroyed on the approaches to the city,
– said the spokesman.
As Viktor Tregubov said, enemy troops are moving along roads that are a “gray zone” on their maps. However, along the way, Russian soldiers encounter resistance from Ukrainian fighters and, as a result, cannot break into the city.

The occupiers are using various “shelters” on the ground to escape from Ukrainian drones. The enemy is oblivious to the danger and is persistently and constantly making attempts to advance to Liman, because this city is considered important.
What changes have recently occurred in the Lymansky direction?
-
Scouts of the “Artan” unit of the GUR conducted a successful raid in the Lymansky direction. The fighters managed to detect and clear the occupiers' hideout. Several Russian soldiers were eliminated, and some were captured.
