Russians are trying to bypass Lyman and capture key heights.

Hostilities in the Lyman Direction

The enemy in the Lyman direction is not surrendering and is attempting to seize the city by bypassing it, as a direct assault is failing. This was reported by the representative of the 115th Separate Mechanized Brigade, Oleksandr Kosyuk, during a television broadcast.

He cannot directly enter it because our unit is stationed there, and there is a place where we are very much hindering him

According to the military, Russian forces are trying to bypass the city since the direct route is blocked by Ukrainian defenders. They will attempt to flank Lyman from the side where the capture is most likely.

They are bypassing it (Lyman), and because of this, there is such a large number of clashes

The main goal of the Russian actions is to capture heights and interfere with Ukrainian logistics, which leads to intense fighting in the direction. Kosyuk noted that the aggressors managed to capture some areas of territory, but Ukrainian forces continue their steadfast defense.

And this is being spun by the enemy in the media. But their offensive has been going on for a whole year. And for a year, our Armed Forces have been standing there and will continue to stand

Ukrainian defenders hold key positions and prevent the enemy from achieving strategic objectives in the Lyman direction despite prolonged attacks from various sides.
