Russian troops are stepping up their offensive against Severodonetsk, the last base in the state, to take full control of Luhansk, one of the two eastern states of Ukraine.
Under these circumstances, the Russian Ministry of Defense claims that Lyman, Donetsk Oblast, in the eastern part of Ukraine has "taken control of the whole area", and it is possible that it will be used as a foothold to further advance to the eastern base of the Ukrainian army.
Russian troops are believed to have already seized 95% of Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine, and are pursuing troops to siege Severodonetsk, the last base in the state on the Ukrainian side, for full seizure.
Governor Guydai of Luhansk Oblast, who resists Russian troops, emphasized on the 28th that he is pushing Russian troops back from some areas on SNS about the situation in Severodonetsk. There are also places. "
In addition, Governor Kirirenko of Donetsk Oblast announced on SNS that five civilians were killed and four were injured in the attack by the Russian army on the 27th.
Under these circumstances, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed in a statement on the 28th that it had "taken control of the whole area" of Lyman, Donetsk Oblast, in eastern Ukraine.
Liman is a strategically important location for railways in eastern Ukraine, as there are major cities in Donetsk Oblast such as Kramatorsk and Slovyansk, which are also the eastern hubs of the Ukrainian army on the south side. The Russian army was intensifying its offensive.
The British Department of Defense also said in the latest analysis of the war situation in Ukraine on the 28th, "Russian troops have taken control of almost the entire area of Lyman in northern Donetsk Oblast by the 27th."
"The Russian army's aim is Severodonetsk, 40 kilometers east of Liman. For the next few days, Russian troops are expected to focus on crossing the Donets River, and taking control of Liman is advantageous for the Russian army. The Russian army may use Reman as a foothold to further advance to the eastern base of the Ukrainian army.
In addition, the British Ministry of Defense said that resistance by the Ukrainian side continues, saying that "Ukrainian troops are continuing disciplined defense operations and many casualties have been caused to Russian troops."
On the other hand, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the 28th that it succeeded in launching a sea-launched hypersonic missile "Zircon" in the Barents Sea in the northwest.
Russia is strongly opposed to Sweden and Finland in Northern Europe applying for NATO membership, and this experiment seems to be aimed at restraining both countries.
