The withdrawal of Russian troops from Liman, Donetsk region, has sparked a new wave of public criticism of the Russian military leadership by officials. About that reported to British intelligence.
It is noted that the city is operationally important because it controls the main route that crosses the Seversky Donets River. It is behind him that Russia is trying to strengthen its defenses.
“Russia’s withdrawal from Liman is a serious political setback due to the fact that the city is located in the Donetsk region. This is the region that Russia allegedly seeks to” liberate “and is trying to illegal inclusion,” said British intelligence officials.
Moreover, further losses of territory illegally occupied by Moscow are likely to lead to increased public criticism and increased pressure on the high command.
Also, British intelligence reported that Liman was defended by undermanned units of Russia’s Western and Central military districts, as well as by contingents of voluntarily mobilized reservists.
“The forces must have suffered heavy losses as they retreated through the only road out of the city still in Russian hands,” the report said.
