Zelensky’s adviser admits loss of Liman, major Ukrainian stronghold in Donbass

Russian troops have taken over the town of Liman in the northern Donetsk region, the government in Kiev admitted on Thursday evening. Ukrainian forces have reportedly withdrawn west-southwest towards Slavyansk.

“We have lost the town of Lyman,” Alexey Arestovich, adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said in a livestream on Thursday. 

Though Arestovich cited “unconfirmed reports,” Russian military correspondent Alexander Kots posted a video of Russian troops in the city shortly thereafter, captioned “Lyman is ours.” Ukrainian troops “fled” west and southwest, Kots added, while covering their retreat with artillery fire.
