The situation on the Lyman front has worsened over the past month, with Russian forces deploying large numbers of infantry and using many drones, including those with fibreoptic control.
Source Anastasiia Blyshchyk, spokesperson for the 66th Separate Mechanised Brigade named after Prince Mstyslav the Brave, on Radio Liberty Quote We can confirm that the situation has really worsened in the past month.
The Russians are pressing with an enormous amount of infantry they simply have a lot of it.
These can be large or small infantry groups that take advantage of weather conditions.
They are doing everything to break into our combat formations, get into our rear as fast as possible, and cause damage.
Details Blyshchyk noted that Ukrainian defenders on the Lyman front are lacking manpower, while Russian forces quickly replenish their numbers despite heavy losses.
Quote In just a month, fighters from our brigade alone inflicted very heavy losses on the Russians the equivalent of two battalions.
But the Russians do not stop.
Because they have this system for quickly replenishing their losses, they maintain their offensive potential, and it doesnt diminish Indeed, in some areas, there are ten Russian occupiers for every one of our infantrymen.
Background The Khortytsia Operational Strategic Group earlier reported that Russian forces had intensified infantry attacks on the Lyman front, focusing on concentrating manpower.
