Lyman, a city, annexed as part of Russia’s staged referendums by Putin in a televised address, was liberated by Ukrainian forces.

Already, footage is emerging of vast storages of ammunition, though it seems a majority of Russian forces encircled in the city were able to escape.

Lyman was a Russian city for approximately 12 hours, with the city already turning its hands as Russian government sources announced a Russian ‘withdrawal.’

The rapid collapse of the frontline in Kharkiv on the east bank of the Oskil river highlights the weak position Putin remains in amidst his cryptic goals of maintaining control over occupied territories of Ukraine.
