Russian army fails to succeed in Lyman direction - Ukrainian Commander Hdulskyi

He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

"The Russian army has been conducting active assault and offensive actions in our direction since November last year. The Russians do not give up on conducting offensive actions in our direction. They are constantly regrouping, redeploying reserves from other areas,” noted Hdulskyi.

The commander of the 2nd Air Assault Battalion of the 95th Brigade added that the Russian forces are creating internal groups in an attempt to advance further.

"But the Russians have not achieved any success in our direction thanks to the resilience, courage and heroism of our personnel on the front lines. The units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces have well-equipped and constructed fire systems,” emphasized Hdulskyi.

• Over the past day, the occupying Russian army lost another 1,080 soldiers in the war in Ukraine. In addition, Ukrainian soldiers eliminated a Russian towing vessel.
• Andriy Kanashevych, head of the Kupyansk district military administration, says the situation in the Vovchansk direction has stabilized.
