Russian activity increases in Lyman sector — spox Demchenko

This was stated on television by Demchenko, a spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.

“Recently, we have observed a certain increase in enemy activity in the Lyman sector, as the enemy’s attempts to launch assaults in this sector of the ‘Pomsta’ Brigade’s defense line have increased somewhat,” Demchenko noted.

According to him, Ukrainian troops are repelling Russian attacks and, for several days in a row, have been capturing occupiers who attempted to dislodge Ukrainian defenders from their positions.

“For several days in a row, they have also been capturing occupiers who were, in fact, conducting assault operations in an attempt to dislodge our troops and are now being held captive by the Ukrainian Defense Forces,” the spokesperson noted.

As reported by Ukrinform, on the front lines over the past day, August 27, in the Lyman sector, the Ukrainian Defense Forces repelled 11 attempts by the invaders to attack toward Lyman and in the areas of Novyi Myr, Novoselivka, Shyikivka, and Cherneshchyna.
