Russia is concentrating "more than 100,000 personnel, more than 900 tanks, more than 555 artillery systems, 370 MLRS" in the Lyman-Kupiansk direction, according to Serhii Cherevatyi, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Eastern Military Command.
Cherevatyi said on television on July 17 that Ukrainian soldiers are currently holding the defense.
Kupiansk was liberated in Ukraine's surprise counteroffensive in Kharkiv Oblast in September 2022. Lyman, in Donetsk Oblast, was liberated just weeks later.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia "continues to focus its main efforts on the Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Marinka axes," with heavy battles continuing.

Ukraine will have to redirect some of their forces there.
After both sides are fully engaged, Wagner will drop down from the north.
Just kill and maim as many Russians as possible.
More meat for the grinder. Hope they aren’t
expecting to be supplied from Crimea.
“Wagner will drop down from the north.”
The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent. Sun Tzu, The Art of War
After both sides are fully engaged, Wagner will drop down from the north.
Sounds like bad news for the Russian Army.
“Hope they aren’t
expecting to be supplied from Crimea.”
There is a robust rail network between Russia and Southern Ukraine that has nothing to do with the Kerch bridge.
You sound mental
“You sound mental”
Whatever you say, Vlad. Whatever you say.
Too bad those railheads are within Storm Shadow missile range. Supplies for 100,000 personnel, more than 900 tanks, more than 555 artillery systems, and 370 MLRS probably takes up a lot of space. Shouldn’t be too hard to spot.
“Shouldn’t be too hard to spot.”
Yeah, especially since they surely have no air defense around them/s
“Hope they aren’t expecting to be supplied from Crimea.”
You do realize this stupid attack will cause hundreds of thousands throughout the world to be on the edge of starvation and cause inflation to soar in the United States.
Ukraine was the breadbasket of the world. Russia has now stopped the grain shipments. Prices for grain will begin soaring worldwide.
You do realize that Russia canceled the grain shipment agreement BEFORE the Kerch bridge was hit again don’t you? Russia is the cause of hundreds of thousands throughout the world to be on the edge of starvation. Take it up with them.
Running with the Adam Schiff playbook “Russians everywhere “. It’s time to grow up and become a man.
You do realize that thug pooter cancelled the grain shipments AFTER the whole clusterbomb clusterduck don't you?
This is known as escalation, and WEF is pushing it, and whomever is operating biden's strings and his supporters, aren't quite grasping the concept.
Russia has has such great success stopping storm shadows /s
It is amazing, these people.
Reminds me of the left in regards to the menendez brothers, “poor kids they don’t have any parents now”, conservative “ ya because they killed them”. Leftist “but but but, isn’t is tragic that they have no parents”. Conservative sound of head hitting wall
If only Russia would have resisted the urge to grab Ukraine and kept their troops and “little green men” on their side of the border.
Perhaps it will take a huge ratchet up in world suffering from this invasion to bring pressure to bear to settle it.
I’m sadly expecting huge escalation shortly along with many more noncombatant casualties unfortunately. Tragic that many others suffer beyond the actual armies.
