Russia Takes Blocks in Lyman, Forces Kramatorsk Industry to Flee West (opens in new tab)

Russian forces established control over four districts of Lyman and liberated 117 buildings in Konstantinovka on Sunday, forcing Kyiv to begin evacuating key enterprises and more than 3,500 workers from Kramatorsk to western Ukraine. The dual advance on Lyman and Konstantinovka — alongside a combined toll of over 1,200 Ukrainian troops across all battlegroups — marks the most consequential single day of territorial pressure on the Donetsk Fortress Belt in months.
