In the Lyman direction, events are developing dynamically. The enemy is attacking, taking advantage of bad weather. And although the Defense Forces have so far managed to somewhat stabilize the situation, certain sections of the front remain tense.
This was reported on the air of the national telethon United News by Mykyta Suhlobov, an officer of a structural unit of the main department of unmanned aerial systems “Phoenix”.
According to him, the enemy is trying to saturate the forward edge with manpower, infantry. Such actions are most active during bad weather — rain and fog — when drones have more difficulty flying. At present, Suhlobov noted, it can be confidently stated that the enemy aims to advance toward Lyman and Sviatohirsk — all in order to block Kramatorsk and Sloviansk and turn the cities into targets for its strikes.
“Over the past week, we have struck about 10 enemy artillery systems. We managed to repel a mechanized assault by the Russians, burning their armored vehicles, which were trying to push deeper into our defense. Enemy movement is constant, and we strike it just as constantly”, — said the officer of the structural unit of the main department of unmanned aerial systems “Phoenix”.
