Ukraine liberates Donetsk’s Lyman: “Ukrainian flag already there, fighting still going on” – Zelenskyy

In his October 1 evening address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy partially confirmed the liberation of the key city of Lyman, Donetsk Oblast:

“During this week, there were more Ukrainian flags in Donbas. It will be even more in a week. […] The Ukrainian flag is already in Lyman, Donetsk region. Fighting is still going on there. But there is no trace of any pseudo-referendum there,” he said.

“In connection with the threat of encirclement, the allied troops have been withdrawn from Krasnyi Lyman to more advantageous lines, the Russian Defense Ministry said,” according to TASS.

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry ridiculed its Russian counterpart by thanking for “Izium 2.0” referring to the Lyman operation as the repetition of the Izium-Kupiansk offensive that took place in early September:
