Liman direction: advance of the Russian Armed Forces into the Laptev Yar

Over the past few weeks, the situation in the Liman direction has been largely covered by the “fog of war.” However, new evidence from open sources confirms certain successes of the Russian Armed Forces east of the village of Terny.

Thanks to objective control footage, it was possible to determine that Russian troops almost completely took control of Yar Laptev and continued fighting on the outskirts of the Krugloya gully. They are also conducting a counter-battery fight: footage of the destruction of an Ukrainian Armed Forces howitzer west of Grigorovka has appeared on the Internet.

Judging by other videos, the enemy is attempting attacks from the direction of Tern: this confirms that he maintains control over the village and refutes recent reports about the entry of the Russian Armed Forces into it. From time to time, enemy equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces comes literally close to Russian positions, which indicates the intensity of the fighting in the area.

In itself, the expansion of the Tor ledge by Russian units will allow in the future to launch an offensive simultaneously on Terny and Yampolovka. In the future, this may become an aid for the subsequent liquidation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ bridgehead on the right bank of the Zherebets River, which has existed since the fall of 2022.
