Ukrainian forces turn Russian tactics against them in Vivaldi operation near Lyman

Ukrainian forces have used Russian assault tactics against them during the Vivaldi operation near Lyman, according to a battalion commander from Andriy Biletskyi's Third Army Corps. The offensive, now in its second phase, has liberated 40 square kilometers, recaptured Shandryholove and Derylove, and established control over Drobysheve. Russian losses exceed 3,000 troops, while Ukrainian casualties are significantly lower. Ukrainian units advanced in pairs under drone cover, a tactic typically employed by Russian forces, which caught the enemy off guard and minimized Ukrainian losses during the counteroffensive in Donetsk Oblast.
