Ukraine recaptures 240 sq km near Lyman, encircles Russian forces in Donbas

Ukrainian forces have recaptured approximately 240 square kilometers of territory near Lyman, Donbas, reversing Russian gains made since March and encircling Russian units. Analysts caution this is a significant local setback for Russia but not yet a turning point in the war. The development disrupts Moscow's advance toward Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
