Russian forces retreated from Lyman, a strategic city for its operations in the east, the Russian defense ministry said Saturday, just a day after Moscow’s annexation of the region that’s been declared illegal by the West.
“In connection with the creation of a threat of encirclement, allied troops were withdrawn from the settlement of Krasny Liman to more advantageous lines,” the ministry said on Telegram, using the Russian name for the town of Lyman.
Russian state media Russia-24 reported that the reason for Russia’s withdrawal was because “the enemy used both Western-made artillery and intelligence from North Atlantic alliance countries.”
The retreat marks Ukraine’s most significant gain since its successful counteroffensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region last month.
Russia’s announcement comes just hours after Ukrainian forces said they had encircled Russian troops in the city, which is located in the Kramatorsk district of Donetsk.
Ukrainian forces said earlier Saturday that they had entered Stavky, a village neighboring Lyman, according to Serhii Cherevatyi, the military spokesperson for the eastern grouping of Ukrainian forces.
“The Russian group in the area of Lyman is surrounded. The settlements of Yampil, Novoselivka, Shandryholove, Drobysheve, and Stavky are liberated. Stabilization measures are ongoing there,” Cherevatyi said in a televised press conference on Saturday morning.

the so-called “annexation” was a total crock
votes in a hot warzone are illegal, so no one recognizes these bogus “results” cooked up by the KGB
meanwhile Russia keeps retreating eastward back towards their borders ... good
There’s so much left-wing globalist propaganda on this forum these days. It feels like a CNN news feed. Oh, it is a CNN news feed!
Apparently Zelensky isn’t taking things well. Here are the latest posts from the Ukrainian Telegram Channel with a source in the Office of the President.

Our source in the OP said that the technologists of the Office of the President began to urgently change the training manual for telegram-controlled channels in Russia and Ukraine. The anti-mobilization case failed and protests could not be called, now the emphasis will be on the confrontation of the military and the weakness of the Kremlin, which is not able to control the processes.

Our source in the OP said that the General Staff proposes to take advantage of the panic situation in the Russian army and launch several counteroffensives along the entire front line. First of all, this concerns the South, where the Ukrainian army is limited in time and will be forced to suspend the counteroffensive at the end of October.

Our Kremlin source reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin has given the order to saturate the Ukrainian crisis with newer pieces of military hardware.
It seems that the Russian era of “SVO” with the use and disposal of Soviet military equipment is fading into the past. Now the Russians will fight on their new products.
This is a huge threat to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as high-tech BTG (Battalion Tactical Group) will come to the LBS (line of contact).
The source indicates that Putin made this decision after the results of the referendum, as well as the message that NATO will not interfere in the Ukrainian crisis. When the West actually merged Zelensky, accusing the Ukrainian President of trying to tie the world into the third world.
The source adds that now there will most likely be something indicative, which should have been back in February 2022. Also, Russian, as well as Western intelligence, is aware of the large losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine due to the Kharkov and Kherson offensives.
According to our information, Zaluzhny reported to Zelensky that a breakthrough to Nikolaev and Odessa was possible.

Our source in the OP said that a meeting was held in the Office of the President with nuclear scientists and environmentalists on the track of the nuclear threat. At Bankova, they are trying to find triggers that will force the West to seriously influence Russia, and not to impose empty sanctions, as was the case with the anemia of 4 regions.

There are so many lies floating in the Ukrainian soup that it is almost impossible to pick out the little bits of chicken. I have never seen a more corrupt, dishonest media than these days, and I thought that was impossible. Orwell didn’t paint the picture accurate enough - it is worse than he imagined.
Well here's a Russian news-feed. Enjoy.

Stunned reactions keep coming in with respect to Ukraine reclaiming Lyman. Andrey Gurulyov, former deputy commander of Russia's southern military district, said he couldn't explain the defeat. He blamed in on a system of lies, "top to bottom" and was suddenly disconnected.
but you can pick out the liars who purvey the soup.
Exactly.. only Putin’s pets in Belarus will recognize that sham referendum and illegal annexation. All that did was motivate the Ukrainians to crush the orcs even more.
Completely agree. Media presents a staged reality. People who were raised on belief that media was accurate and honest still believe the baloney.
Anything to get viewers.
From CNN to Twitter? LOL
Now the mental ward is reduced to squawking about “left-wing” media. With no battlefield victories to boast on, now it’s all whining.
I forget: is Ukraine the good faction of the left in this war, or the bad one?
I usually cheer for the left to destroy itself, and not support a side in its squabbles.
A BTG is a battalion tactical group, that is, a single battalion. That a small unit of @40-50 combat vehicles and under a thousand men. If that’s the “modern” unit the Kremlin is going to throw into the fight, then there is very little “modern” left to use. This is a war of hundreds of thousands, or likely way more than a million men, between Russians and Ukrainians, engaged along the line now.
These demonic persons feverishly projecting that they’re on the “good side” are not fooling anyone and their supporters are either fellow satanists or simply weak-minded with no faith and hence easily led astray.
Look at the company they keep and work for - all ushering in the WWIII and the global reset in an effort for world domination.
They couldn’t get any cozier with the Lucifer.
Thankfully, we have freepers on the ground over there to tell us Russia is winning and anything that is good news for Ukraine is propaganda
I’m on the side that was invaded. Hopefully, you would be on our side if we were invaded.
Let me guess, you think the VP is not only hot, she’s smart too. You’re fooling nobody.
Some are more concerned about Ukraine’s border being invaded that ours.
This is a unique approach to conquest I must say. Annex territory and flee. Wow.
