Ukraine recaptures over 125 square kilometers in eastern counteroffensive near Lyman
According to Al Jazeera English, Ukraine's 3rd Army Corps has retaken at least 125 square kilometres of territory near the eastern city of Lyman following a four-month counteroffensive operation that remained largely unpublicized until now. Independent analysts cited by Al Jazeera estimate the total recapture may exceed 200 square kilometres, though official information remains limited. Lyman lies north of Kramatorsk and Slovyansk, the last major Donbas cities under Ukrainian control, giving the area strategic importance for supply lines and defensive positions.
