Battle for Lyman. Russian Maneuver Turns Into STRATEGIC DEAD END.

The battle for Liman is entering a critical phase, as Russian forces attempt to push westward across difficult terrain under increasingly unsustainable conditions. With their supply lines overstretched and infantry forced to advance without adequate support, Russia’s offensive is losing momentum before it can deliver meaningful gains. Meanwhile, Ukrainian defenders are capitalizing on superior logistics, fortified staging areas, and advanced drone technology to repel each assault with growing efficiency. The widespread use of fiber-optic drones is reshaping combat in the region, turning forests and river crossings into lethal traps for exposed Russian units. As losses mount and coordination falters, the Russian advance risks collapse—potentially opening the door for a renewed Ukrainian counteroffensive.
