Details: Fitio said that the past day had remained intense, as the Russians have not abandoned their intentions to advance, despite the weather, and are trying to put pressure on the Ukrainian forces using artillery.

Over the past day, the Russian forces fired 353 times at Ukrainian positions on the Lyman-Kupiansk front, and seven attacks were repelled in this area.

Quote: "We see that Storm, Storm Z and Storm V assault units are being used against us. These are units formed from convicts: former prisoners from penal military units. 

There was also evidence that there were former Wagner Group members there who have returned from Belarus. Accordingly, they are carrying out offensive actions in this area."

Details: Fitio added that three attacks were repelled on the Lyman front in the area of Serebrianka Forest in Luhansk Oblast. The Russians are making more extensive use of aircraft here.
