Lyman under siege. Russian forces from the 20th and 25th Combined Arms Armies are converging on the strategic town of Lyman (once again). Additionally, Ukrainian forces defending the Serebryansky forest abandoned their positions after three years of battle. This represents a true turning point, as the Siversk salient is now being outflanked from the north. Overall, Ukraine’s commander in chief Syrsky believes these territorial losses are acceptable for such a secondary sector of the front.
