the Ukrainian army recaptured Lyman from the Russians

The video is released by the Ukrainian authorities. Ukrainian soldiers proudly hang their flag at the entrance to the town of Lyman (Ukraine). This new victory claimed by kyiv is symbolic, the day after the announcement of the annexation of the Donetsk region, of which Lyman is a part, by Vladimir Putin following the referendums. The Ukrainian army claims to have surrounded the city and trapped the Russian soldiers. Facts that Russia still denies.

If Ukraine’s takeover of the city were to be confirmed, it would be the first to fall back into Ukrainian hands since the invasion. But behind the satisfaction of the country, hides a carnage. On neighboring roads, the corpses of about twenty people litter the asphalt. Among them were women and old people trying to flee the city. Despite this grim picture, civilians continue to head east, away from the fighting.
