Russian Forces Retreat Leaving Lyman Liberated

The war in Ukraine marches on as Russian forces have retreated from Lyman. They retreated following Moscow’s annexation of the region, which has been declared illegal by the West. It was stated that the reason for Russia’s withdrawal was due to the enemy using both Western made artillery as well as intelligence from North Atlantic alliance countries. The retreat has been the most notable gain for Ukraine since their counteroffensive in North Eastern Kharkiv. The military spokesperson for the “Eastern grouping of Ukrainian forces” explained the liberation of Lyman is important because it is another step towards the liberation of the Ukrainian Donbas.
