The Armed Forces of Ukraine also cut off russia's access to the Svatove-Lyman road, the main line of communication that supports its group in Lyman.
📌 "The operation to encircle the russian group in Lyman is at the stage of completion," said the representative of the Eastern group Serhii Cherevatyi.
📌 According to preliminary data, about 5.5 thousand occupiers remained in Lyman, almost surrounded.
📌 Ukraine's Defense Forces' aviation carried out 29 strikes during the day, damaging six strongholds, 20 areas of concentration of weapons and military equipment, and three anti-aircraft missile systems. In addition, our air defense units shot down seven UAVs, particularly five Iranian-made ones, one Mi-8 helicopter, and a Su-25 attack aircraft.
📌 Over the past day, missile forces and artillery hit five command posts, 15 areas of concentration of troops, weapons, and military equipment, six warehouses with ammunition and fuel and lubricants, one anti-aircraft missile complex, and eight other essential enemy facilities.

russia's crimes
📌 The russians launched a missile attack on a civilian humanitarian convoy on the way out of Zaporizhzhia. Twenty-five dead and 74 wounded civilians! In total, the russians fired 16 missiles at Zaporizhzhia.
📌 Terrible night in Dnipro: the occupiers fired Iskander missiles at a residential quarter and a transport company in Dnipro. Three people died, and five were injured. Fifty-two buses burned, and another 98 were damaged.
📌 The russian federation attacked the residential area of Mykolaiv with 2 S-300 missiles. A woman and eight more wounded were found under the rubble of a high-rise building.
Two enemy drones in the Mykolaiv region attacked the administration building and a critical infrastructure facility. Three drones were shot down.
The number of people killed in Mykolaiv due to yesterday's shelling has increased to three. Two people were killed, and at least 12 were injured due to shelling a bus stop in Mykolaiv; the occupiers struck the civilian area with cluster shells.
📌 In Sloviansk (Donetsk region), a woman's body was found under the rubble of a house. The 3-story residential building was destroyed due to shelling by russian troops on September 27.
During the day, the russians killed eight civilians in the Donetsk region, and another 17 people were injured.
📌 Over the past day, russian terrorists released almost 200 mines and projectiles at the Sumy region.
📌 It is a dog named Krym [Crimea in Ukrainian] against the background of the ruins of his home. Krym had happy owners—a Ukrainian family with two children. They left the center of Dnipro to a "safe" place on the outskirts of their grandmother. Yesterday, they all died from a direct hit by a russian missile.
📌 In total, during the day, the russians launched five missiles and 11 air strikes, carrying out more than 100 attacks from MRL systems on military and civilian objects on the territory of Ukraine. Almost 50 settlements were affected.
📌 This is what Novovorontsovka (Kherson region) looks like now. russian shelling continues there every day.
📌 In Kherson, the occupiers evicted residents of several dormitories to accommodate russian service members who arrived to reinforce the units.
📌 Yesterday, putin signed decrees recognizing Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions as "independent territories" after holding so-called "referendums" there. And today, he declared that "DNR, LNR, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions are part of russia." The attempted annexation changes absolutely nothing for us. We believe in the Ukrainian Armed Forces! Ukraine will liberate the regions occupied by the russian federation!
Life considering war
📌 Ukraine launched a hotline to help overcome war-related fears. The line will also advise people preparing for the return of loved ones from the front and who do not know how to behave. Line 0 800 332 029 is free and works around the clock. All conversations are private.
📌 Director General of the Ukrposhta postal company Ihor Smilianskyi signed an order stating that the territory of the Kremlin belongs to Ukrposhta. Legally, this order is equal to putin's decree on recognizing the independence of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
📌 For the first time, a Ukrainian woman became a laureate of the alternative Nobel Prize. Oleksandra Matviychuk, head of the Center for Civil Liberties, received the award for documenting war crimes and human rights violations.
