The situation on the Lyman front has worsened over the past month, with Russian forces deploying large numbers of infantry and using many drones, including those with fibre-optic control.

    They took out the equivalent of 2 battalions? How many people are those? 2k? 3k? And they are outnumbered 10 to 1? How many troops do these Russians have? 20-30k at one place is crazy. That’s one town fighting.

      In US terms, 2 battalions would be around 1,000-2,000 soldiers. IDK if the Ukrainian terminology is the same.

      They said they took out 2 Russian battalions, which would mean that if every place they were outnumbered 10-to-1 it would be maybe 2,000 Russians and 200 Ukrainians in the battle. Something like that. But they only said they were outnumbered like that in some areas, not the whole region.
