Ukraine General Staff reports Russian attempts to advance on Lyman and Zaporizhzhia directions

In its December 12 evening digest, the Ukrainian General Staff reported the Russian military’s attempts to advance on the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Zaporizhzhia directions.

The Russian army’s attempts to advance from Kreminna towards Lyman have been registered for some time by Russian sources, but not the Ukraine General Staff, as pointed out by BBC News Russian. No significant Russian advances have been reported in the Zaporizhzhia direction since last summer at the latest.

Fighting for Bakhmut has been going on for several months, and the Russian troops’ attempts to advance in the direction of Avdiivka have also been repeatedly mentioned by the media.

During the war, it is impossible to verify new military information immediately — even if it’s published by official sources.
