Lyman

Here are five key developments on Friday from Russia's war in Ukraine. 1. Russian forces 'partially surrounded' in Lyman. A senior Russian-backed official ...

Moscow has previously said the pipeline damage occurred in territory that is "fully under the control" of US intelligence agencies. Residents of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson are becoming our citizens forever." Russian missile strikes also damaged a high-rise building in Mykolaiv and wounded eight people. "The so-called referendums were a travesty, an absolute travesty," he said, praising the "sacrifice" of Ukrainians to "save their people and maintain the independence of their country. According to state media, the head of Russia's foreign intelligence service said that Moscow had materials which indicated the West had a role in the leaks. Putin said on Thursday that the "unprecedented sabotage" against pipelines was "an act of international terrorism". US President Joe Biden vowed on Thursday to "never, ever, ever" recognise the results of the "Russian-orchestrated" referendums. In an earlier speech, the Russian President announced; "there are four new regions of Russia". Alexei Katerinitshev, a deputy head of the Moscow-backed administration, was killed "in a precise strike" on his home on Thursday night, according to the Russian news agency TASS. Vladimir Putin has formally annexed four regions of eastern Ukraine -- Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia -- that all held so-called "referendums" on joining Russia in the last week. Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it a priority for Russian forces to control all of the industrial Donbas regions and his "partial mobilisation" of Russian troops aims to fortify Russian positions. In addition to Lyman, Russian occupation forces in the neighbouring Kherson region reported on Friday that a senior government official was killed in a Ukrainian strike.

Ukraine said on Friday that its troops had captured a village near the Russian stronghold of Lyman in the eastern Donetsk region, hours after Moscow-backed.

The head of the Russian-backed administration in the Donetsk region said earlier on Friday that Lyman was “semi-encircled” by the Ukrainian army and that news from the front was “alarming.” Ukraine said on Friday that its troops had captured a village near the Russian stronghold of Lyman in the eastern Donetsk region, hours after Moscow-backed forces reported “alarming” news from the area. The defense ministry tweeted a photo of what it said were Ukrainian troops in Drobysheve, some 10 km (six miles) to the northwest of Lyman, which was taken by Russia in May after an extended battle.

Lyman is a key staging ground for Russian forces in their campaign to capture the rest of Donetsk province. Ukrainian forces are advancing from three directions ...

And the 752nd GMRR, arguably the best of the units in the Lyman garrison. It’s also possible Lyman represents the culmination of the current counteroffensive in the east. How quickly the coming winter turns eastern Ukraine into a sea of mud. By Friday there was no road out of Lyman that the Ukrainians couldn’t bring under intensive fire. How much reserve combat power the Ukrainian army possesses after a month of intensive operations. [The 752nd on paper is a powerful formation](https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR2500/RR2563/RAND_RR2563.pdf), although it like much of the Russian army has suffered steep losses as Russia’s wider war on Ukraine grinds into its eighth month. There reportedly were as many as 5,000 Russians in the town at the time. The Russians east of Kharkiv abandoned their tanks and fighting vehicles and fled into separatist Luhansk Oblast. The 752nd GMRR was one of two regiment-size units that, on New Year’s Eve in 1994, got enveloped in Grozny during the first of Russia’s two bloody wars in Chechnya. Then, coordinating with battalions advancing from the west and south, they began encircling Lyman last week. But it wasn’t until the Ukrainians’ eastern counteroffensive gained momentum a couple of weeks ago that liberating the town became possible. Among the thousands of Russians reportedly trapped in Lyman are members of the 752nd Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment.

“8 years ago, ru-military surrounded our near Ilovaisk. Our guys agreed to surrender without weapons. But Russia broke its word. The column was shot.

The Ukrainian forces have achieved fire control of all roads leading to the settlement. Today RF will have to ask for an exit from Lyman. Our guys agreed to surrender without weapons.

Control of the town is seen as a test of whether Ukraine can build on military gains made earlier in September, but the exact status of the battle was not ...

Those cities, Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk, succumbed to Russian forces who had maximized their superior firepower in helping Moscow to seize control of Luhansk province, which together with neighboring Donetsk forms the Donbas. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday signed decrees to declare the four regions part of Russia. Fighting for Lyman, which is in the northern part of Donetsk province, has intensified over the past few weeks after Ukraine made a series of gains during a rapid counteroffensive in Kharkiv province in the country’s northeast.

Several thousand soldiers and officers of the Russian army, along with their equipment, were surrounded near the Liman of the Donetsk region. This was.

The so-called Lyman cauldron was formed there.” The armed forces of Ukraine blocked all roads last night. This was reported by Advisor to the Office of President Aleksey Arestovich on the air of Feygin Live.

"Lyman is important because it is the next step towards the liberation of the Ukrainian Donbas. Lyman will be Ukraine," one of the soldiers said, standing on the bonnet of a military vehice. Its fall would be Ukraine's biggest battlefield gain since a lightning counteroffensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region last month. Putin proclaimed the Donbas regions of Donetsk and Luhansk and the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia to be Russian land in Friday's ceremony - a swathe of territory equal to about 18% of Ukraine's total surface land area. "The Russian grouping in the area of Lyman is surrounded," the spokeperson, Serhii Cherevatyi, said on television. KYIV, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Ukrainian forces reached the entrance of the eastern bastion of Lyman on Saturday after encircling thousands of Russian troops, Kyiv said, in a battlefield rebuttal to the Kremlin a day after it proclaimed a swathe of territory to be part of Russia.

Luhansk governor says Russian troops trapped in Lyman asked commanders if they could retreat but request was turned down.

Ukraine has encircled Russia’s forces around a bastion that is critical for Moscow at the eastern town of Lyman, in an operation that is still under way. The World Bank has said it will provide an additional US$530m in support to Ukraine, bringing the total aid by the bank to $13bn. The Ukrainian director-general of the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been detained by a Russian patrol, according to Energoatom. Of course, it has been very important for me to underline that the Danish authorities have said that this this is not an accident. Russia vetoed a UN security council resolution introduced by the US and Albania condemning Moscow’s proclaimed annexations. We talked most of all about the situation in Ukraine and the so-called referendums in Ukraine. Let’s begin with some of the most recent developments. This decision, which constitutes a grave violation of the established principles of international law, cannot be accepted. Lyman is important because it is the next step towards the liberation of the Ukrainian Donbas. He promised that the application would happen in an “expedited manner”. Reuters was unable to independently confirm that Kesaev still has direct ownership in the MySky. Treasury did not respond to requests for comment, Reuters reports.

Meanwhile, energy company says Russians have detained director of Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.

“Lyman is important because it is the next step towards the liberation of the Ukrainian Donbas. The Ukrainian general staff told Reuters it had no such information. Its fall would be Ukraine’s biggest battlefield gain since a lightning counteroffensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region last month.

In another part of the city, a private house and a two-story residential building suffered extensive damage. The Russian army struck the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv twice overnight, once with drones and the second time with missiles, according to regional Gov. In a daily intelligence briefing Saturday, the British Defence Ministry said the Russians “almost certainly” struck a humanitarian convoy there with S-300 anti-aircraft missiles. The first attack was conducted with Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drones and the second with S-300 missiles, he said on Telegram. “This is not helpful in a moment when we absolutely need to reduce emissions.” A Ukrainian official said Saturday that the Russian-occupied city of Lyman was surrounded, with some 5,000 Russian forces trapped there. “The occupiers asked their leadership for the opportunity to leave, which they refused,” Haidai said in a television interview. In a possible attempt to secure Moscow's hold on the newly annexed territory, Russian forces seized the director-general of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Ihor Murashov, around 4 p.m. That corresponds to online videos purportedly showing some Russian forces falling back as a Ukrainian soldier said they had reached Lyman’s outskirts. Ukrainian technicians continued running it after Russian troops seized the power station, and its last reactor was shut down in September as a precautionary measure amid ongoing shelling nearby. Serhiy Haidai claimed that all routes to resupply Russian forces in Lyman were blocked. Zelenskyy formally applied Friday for Ukraine to join NATO, increasing pressure on Western allies to help defend the country.

Ukrainian forces are encircling Russian troops in Russian-occupied Lyman, in the Kramatorsk district of Donetsk, despite Moscow's annexation of the region.

All routes for the supply of ammunition or the retreat of the group are all completely blocked,” he added. “[The liberation] of Lyman is important, because it is another step towards the liberation of the Ukrainian Donbas. “The Russian group in the area of Lyman is surrounded. There has never been such a large group in the encirclement before. “There are several thousand of them. The settlements of Yampil, Novoselivka, Shandryholove, Drobysheve, and Stavky are liberated.

Ukrainian forces entered the eastern Russian stronghold of Lyman on Saturday after encircling thousands of Russian troops, Kyiv has said.

Ukraine’s military claimed on Saturday that Russia would need to deploy cadets before they complete their training because of a lack of manpower in the war. It adds that Russia's stock of such missiles is likely limited and its use in a ground attack role has likely been "driven by overall munitions shortages". It offered no details on how it gathered the information, though Kyiv has electronically intercepted mobile phone calls from Russian soldiers amid the conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin proclaimed the annexation of the regions on Friday, after Russia held what it called referendums in occupied areas of Ukraine.

Troops raise Ukrainian flag in city hours after Putin said area was Russia's 'for ever', with Moscow admitting its forces have retreated.

In Friday’s rambling and grudge-filled speech Putin denounced the west and portrayed his invasion of Ukraine as a just and necessary response to an attempt by the US and its allies to “colonise” Russia. Ukrainian battalions can push north towards the town of Svatove or east to Kreminna, Haidai, the Luhansk governor, said. The sudden collapse of Russia’s forces in Lyman opens up the possibility of further Ukrainian gains. He and about 7,000 other Ukrainian staff at the plant are employed by Energoatom, Ukraine’s nuclear organisation, based in Kyiv. The Kremlin controls almost all of Luhansk and Kherson provinces, but only parts of the other two regions. The Kremlin has not commented on its stunning military rout in Lyman. The governor of Luhansk province, Serhiy Haidai, said the besieged troops had begged on Friday to be allowed to leave Lyman. The debacle came hours after Putin announced on Friday that the city, which is a part of the Donetsk region, was Russia’s “for ever”. “A colossal grouping” of up to 5,000 enemy soldiers was facing defeat, he added. The attack appears to have happened several days ago. They had been “withdrawn to more advantageous lines”, the ministry said, after their encirclement by Ukrainian forces. Earlier on Saturday Ukraine’s armed forces said they had entirely surrounded the city, trapping thousands of Russian soldiers inside.

The withdrawal from Lyman prompted Ramzan Kadyrov, leader in the Russian region of Chechnya, to urge Moscow to consider using a “low-yield” nuclear weapon in Ukraine. The U.S. The Russian mobilization has prompted Kyiv to call for more weapons from its Western allies, bolstered by Ukraine’s recent battlefield successes. President Joe Biden has warned Putin that there would be a “consequential” response if Russia uses tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The recapture of Lyman is the latest success in a Ukrainian counterassault that has seen Kyiv’s forces reclaim a vast amount of Russian-occupied territory in eastern Ukraine as Moscow’s troops have abandoned the front lines. “Lyman is important because it is the next step towards the liberation of the Ukrainian Donbas,” said Serhii Cherevatyi, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s eastern forces.
