[70415] Concern among Russian military bloggers: Possible tactical encirclement in the Lyman sector

Deterioration in the situation of Russian forces in the Lyman sector

According to reports on military channels, including Senia Waldberg and Carmel News - חדשות, which are identified with war coverage from an angle that includes criticism of the Russian command, a significant deterioration is evident in the situation of Russian forces in the Lyman sector of the Donetsk region. The sources note that Ukrainian forces are conducting "successful counter-attacks" in the Yampil and Dibrova area, with a strategic effort to cut off the Russian salient around the city through strikes on supply routes and flanks.

Criticism of the Russian command reached a peak following the gap between official reports, which claim that the city is "80% under control," and the reality on the ground. According to Senia Waldberg, there is real concern about the formation of a "tactical encirclement" in the event that Ukrainian forces succeed in closing the salient. Pro-Russian channels compared the current situation to past battles in the Kupiansk sector, where Russian units suffered heavy losses during a retreat that was perceived as a command failure.

In addition to the tactical arena, Senia Waldberg assessed that the change in initiative is not merely local: "This time it is not something tactical but systemic. It seems that the fracture in the war is beginning to occur." According to his claim, the current trend, which includes a significant increase in the scope of Ukrainian strikes, is directly related to the economic crisis affecting Russia.

As of this hour, there is no official or independent confirmation regarding the scope of the changes in the lines of control, and the fighting in the Lyman area continues at high intensity.
