Latest from Rybar on Lyman.
The situation in the Limansky direction
as of 20.00 September 30, 2022
After the withdrawal from
Drobyshevo and
Yampol , the defense of the RF Armed Forces was built along the outskirts of the Liman and the buffer zone around the
Liman - Zarechnoye - Torskoye road . The Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to completely block the corridor, but the Russian troops have so far successfully repulsed the strikes.
According to preliminary estimates, at least
6,000 Ukrainian servicemen and foreign mercenaries are involved in the attack on Liman. Armored groups are trying to advance from
Drobyshevo ,
Stavok, Dibrovo and
Yampol towards
Liman itself .
From
TorskoyThe RF Armed Forces deployed reinforcements, including artillery, MLRS and armored vehicles. Near Yampol and to the north of the Liman there are oncoming maneuver battles.
To the north of
Zarechny , the Ukrainian military, with the support of armored vehicles, tried to break under the dam across the
Zherebets River to
Terny, but were driven out from there by the approaching units of the RF Armed Forces and withdrew to the western bank in
Ivanovka .
In order to strengthen the onslaught of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, units are hastily transferred from near
Seversk and
Soledar , reserves from
Slavyansk and
Kramatorsk. They have to partly expose the Soledar direction, where units of the Wagner PMC, NM LPR and DPR are advancing.
The situation remains extremely tense, however, for now, the RF Armed Forces still control
Liman and hold back the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. If the allied forces manage to hold back the onslaught, defend the city and inflict heavy losses on the attacking Ukrainian forces, then the Russian troops will actually seize the initiative. In this case, the situation at the front can change dramatically.
