Russian Forces Intensify Offensive Actions in Lyman Sector: Unexpected Advances and Escalation of Combat
Recent reports indicate a significant escalation of Russian military activity in northern Donetsk region, particularly along the Lyman front.
According to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Russian troops have attempted to push forward in the area, referencing geolocation videos published on October 19.
These visuals reveal that Russian forces advanced southwest of the village of Myrne, located northeast of Lyman, raising concerns about the stability of Ukrainian positions in this conflict zone.
Analysis also confirms that Russian troops have been operating in the direction of capturing Myrne.
However, Ukrainian sources deny the complete seizure of the village by Russia, asserting that Ukrainian armed forces still control its southern part.
The Ukrainian General Staff reported multiple Russian attacks in this region, including efforts near Drobysheve, Serednie, Novoselivka, and Myrne, though detailed confirmation remains pending.
Evidence suggests that the enemy is amassing considerable military personnel in this sector, notably the 60th separate brigade.
Military experts highlight the tense situation, with ongoing Russian assaults indicating potential escalation of hostilities in the near future.
