OT/ Optimitc noises from both sides..

Sources in Ukraine are quoting that the key strategic city of Lyman has been encircled and if true, would be very significant as it is a *****ly important logistics center for the whole Dombas region. That Russia sent no reinforcements to the town is rather baffling but not surprising. Instead they have been pounding away at Bahmut town further south, again which is strange because if Lyman has indeed been surrounded then there is no chance of resupply for troops in Bahmut. Strange.

Source BBC.....
The large Russian grouping in Lyman is "surrounded" and settlements around the town have been recaptured, says Serhiy Cherevatyi, a spokesman for Ukraine's forces in the east.

He told Ukrainian TV "our data shows that about 5,000-5,500 Russian troops were in Lyman."

It is a fast moving event at the moment apparently......

wrong thread.

.

Remember this fella from the Azov steel plant in Mariupol?
He was held in a concentration camp for about four months with little or no food or water. Medical help was with a pliers for his broken arm.
Attachment 22648

He was released recently in the prisoner swap looking like this.
Attachment 22649

This was the same camp that the Russian fired on killing over fifty prisoners.

Strong rumours circulating among Russian bloggers that there has been a major smashing through of Russian frontlines in Kherson region in South.
Upwards of 25,000 russian soldiers looking increasingly boxed in with no escape.
Ukraine officials staying tight lipped for now....
