Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath sources claimed that after Russia’s most recent devastating defeat in which it lost control of the Ukrainian city of Lyman, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the military command the order to utilise more sophisticated weapons in military operations.
One day after Moscow said that its soldiers had decided to withdraw from its bastion north of the Donetsk area, which it had occupied for months, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared that the key eastern town of Lyman was totally free of Russian forces.
Zelensky stated in his statement on Sunday night that Lyman’s restoration was only one aspect of the soldiers’ achievement in his nation.
The two small settlements of Arkhanhelsky and Mirolubivka in the Kherson region were also freed by Ukrainian forces, he continued.
A supply hub in the country’s east, Lyman, was declared completely in Ukrainian control on Sunday, marking Kiev’s biggest military triumph in recent weeks.
This development may serve as a springboard for additional eastward progress while putting more pressure on the Kremlin.
Just one day after declaring the acquisition of four districts totaling about a fifth of Ukraine, including Donetsk, the location of Lyman, Russian President Vladimir Putin suffered his most recent setback. The action was denounced as illegal farce by Kiev and the West.
The retaking of Lyman by Ukraine and the raising of the Ukrainian flag over buildings containing civilians on Saturday demonstrated Ukraine’s ability to repel Russian forces and the contribution of Ukraine’s use of cutting-edge Western weapons to the conflict, according to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Sunday.
In response to a threat related to the region’s siege, the Russian Defense Ministry announced Monday that it would remove its troops from the Lyman region.
Despite reporting that Russian forces had destroyed seven artillery and missile armament depots in the Ukrainian districts of Kharkiv, Zaporizhia, Mykolaiv, and Donetsk, the ministry did not include Lyman in its daily report on the combat in Ukraine on Sunday.
Zelensky, on the other hand, asserted that the kidnapping of the general manager of the Ukrainian nuclear power facility in Zaporizhia, which is seized by Russia, is a Russian terrorist act.
He continued in the letter, “This is another another instance of a clearly Russian act of terrorism, for which the terrorist state must be further punished.
Ihor Murashov was reportedly captured by a Russian patrol on Saturday, according to the state-owned business in charge of the station, and the International Atomic Energy Agency claimed that Russia had confirmed this.
The Donetsk region at Bakhmut and Spirn, within the Donetsk region near Lyschansk, a significant hub in the adjoining Luhansk region, were two localities where the Ukrainian military said its soldiers had successfully stopped the Russian advance. These locations are within the Donetsk region.
Russian forces exploited Lyman as a supply and transportation hub for their operations in the northern Donetsk region when it was captured by them in May.
Since Ukraine’s lightning-fast counterattack in the northeastern region of Kharkiv last month, this loss marked Russia’s greatest defeat on the battlefield.
The possession of Lyman would be a “vital factor,” according to Serhiy Gaidai, the governor of the adjoining Luhansk region, in helping Ukraine reclaim territory that had been lost during weeks of bloody fighting.
According to the British Ministry of Defense, Lyman is crucial to operations because it has control over a significant road that crosses the Seversky Donets River, where Russia is attempting to fortify its defences.
Russia undoubtedly sustained significant losses during the pullout, the ministry stated. According to a military spokesman for Ukraine, before the Ukrainian onslaught, Russia had between 5,000 and 5,500 soldiers stationed in the city.
Putin orders the use of more advanced weapons, according to sources
