Critical situation in Lyman sector requires immediate solutions, otherwise frontline at Oskil will collapse - Butusov
The critical situation on the Lyman front requires immediate managerial and organisational decisions. Otherwise, the front at Oskil will collapse.
This was reported on Facebook by Yurii Butusov, editor-in-chief of Censor.NET.
According to him, the offensive of Russian troops from the Nevske-Terny area against the villages of Katerynivka and Nove continues, and the capture of these villages will lead to severe consequences. The enemy is suffering significant losses, the Russians are attacking head-on, but they also have massive support from drones and artillery, and have much larger infantry reserves to continue the offensive.
The enemy is advancing on the units of the 66th Mechanised Brigade, which is making every effort, but the enemy still has the advantage. The 66th Brigade is a neighbour of the 3rd Assault Brigade, which is now being deployed to the 3rd Army Corps.
"There is a logical conclusion - the 66th Brigade should be included in the 3rd Corps and the Corps should be responsible for stabilising the defence on the breakthrough front. A single control centre will improve controllability and interaction, organise manoeuvre of forces and means. After all, this is exactly what the corps were created for, so why aren't real powers being transferred?
The situation is critical, and we need to act now," Butusov said.
"It is necessary to save the entire Lyman front - there are all the prerequisites and opportunities for this. It is also necessary to include the Terny-Yampolivka area in a single strip to completely block the offensive line of the two Russian combined arms armies. Reserves are needed here, replenishment is needed in conjunction with organisational and managerial decisions," the journalist concludes.
Earlier, Censor.NET reported that the Russians were planning to build a crossing over the Oskil River to move their equipment.
