RT @DefMon3: There is a lot of talk about the Bakhmut - Lysychans'k road. I have a slightly different take on it than the rest. There are still working roads, and the railroad connection to Siversk might be up and running still. I would say the loss of T1302 would be "not great, not terrible" https://t.co/yEuZE4dM3e

🇷🇺 continued their advance SW of Popasna, capturing Ilovaisk.

🇷🇺 have captured the city of Lyman after the remaining 🇺🇦 troops in the city withdrew across the Siverskyi Donets river.
