Russian Forces Secure Fire Control Over Krasny Liman–Seversk Route

Russian troops established fire control over the Krasny Liman–Seversk highway in the DPR, cutting a key supply line for Ukrainian forces and expanding their positions.

Russian forces have brought the main supply artery between Krasny Liman (Ukrainian name — Liman) and Seversk in the Donetsk People’s Republic under full fire control, cutting off a key route for Ukrainian troop movements.

The development was confirmed by Igor Kimakovsky, adviser to the head of the republic, who said the highway linking the two cities is now entirely covered by Russian strikes. Until recently, Ukrainian units had used the road to move troops and equipment from Krasny Liman to Seversk, but according to Kimakovsky, such transfers are now unlikely.

Russian units have entrenched themselves in the Serebryansky Forest and are pushing toward the village of Dronovka. Analysts note that Russian forces are advancing on Krasny Liman along a broad front, having secured positions near the settlements of Shandrigolovo, Derilovo, Stavki, Kirovsk (Ukrainian name — Zarechnoe), and Torskoe in the DPR.
