Russian forces recently advanced southeast of Nove (northeast of Lyman).

In early March, the intensity of the enemy's offensive decreased by about half compared to February and by almost 4 times compared to January. However, in the second half of March, intensity increased and is more than half of what it was in January.

The Russians have pulled up reserves in the Pokrovske direction and are throwing all their forces at the assaults.

Putin needs some territorial gains in this area to bargain for better conditions in negotiations to end the war.
