Oleh Katkov, Editor-in-Chief of Defense Express, said this on Espreso TV.
"Indeed, if we look at the map of the hostilities, we can see a characteristically successful offensive north of Lyman with its coverage. If at the same time you look at the map of Russian war correspondents, the situation there will be even worse - it is said that the Russian group in Lyman is at least in an operational encirclement. Indeed, most likely, in the coming days the Ukrainian Armed Forces' General Staff will report on the successful operation to de-occupy Lyman," he believes.
