The Ukrainians have now crossed the Seversky Donets river in force and are attacking from Slavyansk in the direction of Lyman. Reports are that they have already reached the outskirts of Lyman as of 5pm local time. If Lyman should fall quickly, it will threaten Russians entire position in the LPR.

After the units left Izyum and the surrounding area, units of the Russian forces took up defensive positions on the left bank of the Oskol River. The units of the RF Armed Forces continue to hold the settlements of Studenok and Oskol.

The most difficult situation is developing in the vicinity of Liman, near which for three days in a row the battles of a small garrison of the RF Armed Forces and the NM of the LPR with superior enemy forces have continued.

The units of the allied forces have already repulsed several attacks, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not reduce the onslaught. Artillery strikes are carried out on advancing enemy units.

In the area of ​​the village of Zakotnoe , Ukrainian formations were able to establish a crossing over the shallow Seversky Donets and transfer equipment to reach Yampol, envelop and storm the Liman from the east.

The goal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is to gain a foothold on the right bank of the Seversky Donets in order to develop an offensive towards Kremennaya in the LPR.
