The Armed Forces have achieved significant success in the area of Lyman and in Kherson Oblast over the past two days – ISW
The occupying groupings located there mostly comprised of units that had been regarded as among premier fighting forces before the war
What happened? Yesterday, the Armed Forces of Ukraine significantly advanced on the Oskil River-Kreminna line towards the Luhansk Oblast border, as well as in the north of Kherson Oblast.
Source. The report by analysts of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Details. It is noted that the occupying groupings in the northern part of Kherson Oblast and on the Lyman front mostly consisted of units that were comprised of units that had been regarded as among premier fighting forces before the war.
“Units of the russian Airborne Forces, especially the 76th Guards Air Assault Division, are active in Kherson Oblast. Both the 144th Motorised Rifle Division and the 76th Guards Air Assault Division were previously lauded as some of russia’s most elite forces, and their apparent failures to hold territory against major Ukrainian counter-offensive actions is consistent with ISW’s previous assessment that even the most elite russian military forces are becoming increasingly degraded as the war continues. This phenomenon was also visible in the collapse of the 4th Tank Division of the 1st Guards Tank Army earlier in the Kharkiv counter-offensive,” the report states.
Previously. The Armed Forces of Ukraine completely cleared Lyman of the russians.
