DeepState: Russian offensive on Lyman axis neutralized by Ukrainian counter-operation

Ukrainian forces have neutralized Russian offensive efforts on the Lyman axis, according to DeepState co-founder Roman Pohorilyi, who said the occupiers' gains were "multiplied by zero" following a Ukrainian counter-operation. Pohorilyi explained that Russian troops had repeatedly tried to encircle Lyman, creating a "pincer" north of the town after some Ukrainian brigades faltered. The situation stabilized after the Third Army Corps took command, allowing Ukrainian forces to regroup and push the enemy back despite heavy Russian pressure and infiltration tactics. The analyst noted that a persistent shortage of personnel had been exploited by the enemy, though command changes have improved resource distribution. The Vivaldi operation liberated over 100 square kilometers, inflicted roughly 3,000 Russian casualties, and disrupted enemy logistics, forcing fuel supplies to be moved outside Ukraine.
