Russian forces have captured a key town with major ramifications for their invasion of Ukraine, according to the Russian military and British intelligence.
Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said Russia had total control of the town of Lyman, according to state media.
The UK's Ministry of Defense said in a memo Saturday that Lyman will prove a critical area to hold due to its railways and key bridges.
"By 27 May, Russian forces had likely captured most of the town of Lyman, in the north of Donetsk Oblast, in what is likely a preliminary operation for the next stage of Russia's Donbas offensive," the ministry said.

Magical thinking is not gonna get it done.
$40 billion is about $200,000 per Russian soldier.
That’s 10 bricks of 1000 twenties each.
Yeah—they might all take the money and run home!
Bribing people is always better than fighting them.
According to the pro-Russia posters on FR this can’t be true because it came from a western source.
It’a up to the Grannies now. 👵
I’m starting to wonder if Ukraine is a trap for Conservatives laid by Biden and the Democrats.
We are being sucked into a losing proposition.
Hush 🤫 Neocon.
If only Dear Leader Biden knew how badly his generals were lying to him! /s
Especially if you can just print all the money you need!
Hit a nerve, did I, Nazi?
There is no need to trap the Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate.
They will happily take bribes from the military industrial complex and follow orders.
Folks around here have no such excuse.
Are you posting a video of one of the special-ed kids you beat up? Is that what that is?
