Russian forces will attempt to restart offensive operations in the Lyman direction
Tasked with bringing the vehicle from Poland to our position near what was then the war's hottest fighting, the final stretch of the journey to our company's command post allowed me to appreciate the geographical importance of Chasiv Yar
The SSU exposed and arrested a collaborator in Lyman who offered to help occupiers, provided lists of potential resistance members, served as head of the Pivnichnyi microdistrict, organized an illegal referendum with propaganda-linked humanitarian aid, and threatened residents with repression.
The perpetrator has been charged with collaboration and arrested by the court without bail, facing imprisonment of 5 to 10 years.
Russia's continued offensives in the area continue to eat up Russia's available combat power, facilitating Ukrainian counteroffensives elsewhere.
Ukrainian forces withdrew from Izium to Bakhmut in December 2022, using the 30th unit for cover during the retreat.
