There is talk that the Ukr CinC Zaluzhny & Zelensky had a meeting during which the withdrawal from #Lisichansk agglomeration was discussed.
The only feasible way is going by the road to Seversk which is not physically cut but can be shelled from Rus held territory

DPR has it's own rebels.
DPR reservists from 106th & 107th regiments don't want to go and fight outside of the DPR & say there is no legal basis for them to do so, acc to the conditions applied when they were called up
And they're pissed off at Pushilin (head of the DPR)

Another rebellious Ukr Volkssturm not happy with their situation
t.me/CyberspecNews/โ€ฆ

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Lets continue with a few updates

Some reports say the Ukr have left the southern industrial zone in #Liman which is their last position.
They still might have a rear guard there to allow any straglers to retreat south via the 2 roads seen on the map

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

N. Donbas area.
Ukr Command reportedly has a plan to create a fortified zone centred on #Slavyansk-#Kramatorsk & #Bakhmut (Artemovsk) as well as smaller towns in that zone, They plan that every fortified point would be able to provide covering artillery fire to each other

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
The powerful Rus force in the #Izum bulge could be a serious threat to that plan by launching attacks from rear of the proposed fortified area.
That group is likely waiting for the resolution of the battle for #Liman before making any serious moves

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
Local reports say the village of Klinove has been captured by Rus forces...if confirmed, that's pretty close to #Bakhmut

They will be disassembled fro transport
