#Donetsk Front

The commanders of 'Charter', 'Azov' and the Third Corps at the YES Annual Meeting 2026 conference warned: Russia may mobilize up to 600,000 soldiers by year's end, and the outcome of the winter of 2026–2027 will be determined by Ukraine's ability to shield its skies from ballistic missiles and drones.

🔴 The Armed Forces of Ukraine are changing the commander of the 11th Army Corps. Emil Ishkulov, known for his refusal to enter the Russian Federation in 2024, will head the defense of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. The decision was made against the backdrop of threats of losing Konstantynivka and the need to strengthen the front. 🛡️🇺🇦

🇺🇦 AFU Spokesperson Viktor Tregubov revealed the new tactics of Russian troops in the Lyman area. Instead of frontal attacks, occupiers are using DRGs to infiltrate through the "gray zone" in the Zarechne and Yampol areas. 🔹 Russia's main goal — capturing Lyman as a stepping stone to the Slovyansk-Kramatorsk Agglomeration. 🔹 Ukrainian forces are holding Yampol despite complex logistics and encirclement. 🔹 The Siverskyi Donets remains a natural defensive line, but the enemy is trying to bypass it. #Lyman #AFU #Tregubov #War2026
