With the intensification of small scale assault actions in December, 🇷🇺Russian forces succeeded in pushing 🇺🇦Ukrainian units south of the city itself, even reaching the village of Vil'cha. It remains unclear whether they managed to consolidate these gains.
On the western flank of the salient, near Hrafs'ke, the 🇺🇦48th Reconnaissance Battalion (formerly part of the 72nd Brigade) is deployed as part of the 16th Army Corps.
Other elements include the 🇺🇦5th Battalion of the 120th TDF Brigade, along with the aforementioned battalion of the 58th Brigade.
Command and control above the battalion level in this sector is unclear at the moment, though it is possible that these units are all operating under the 🇺🇦57th Motorized Brigade.
🇷🇺Russian pressure here seems to be exclusively focused on the village of Lyman.
The eastern flank of the city has elements of the 🇺🇦113th TDF Brigade and 🇺🇦159th Mechanized Brigade (though some of its battalions...

Additional Notes
- Given how frequently Ukrainian reserves are discussed online, it is worth highlighting that both the 🇺🇦72nd Mechanized and 127th Heavy Mechanized brigades appear to still be in Kharkiv oblast, but generally not taking part in active combat based on the lack of recent drone footage and other indicators.
A possible explanation is that the units are undergoing a period of rest and refit, while being kept in reserve should a Russian breakthrough occur north of the regional capital.
It is also worth mentioning that, especially in the 127th Brigade's case, these units' manning levels are unknown and likely below average.
- The 🇺🇦225th Assault Regiment's 1st Assault Battalion, mentioned in post #2, left Vovchans'k in late December to join the rest of its parent regiment on the critical Hulyaipole front.
- The 🇺🇦113th TDF Brigade's 1st Battalion is to be reorganized into one of the brigade's two unmanned systems battalions.

/2. I cannot publicly disclose everything that has already been done, is currently being done, or will be done in the future. However, all of these actions are aimed at one clear goal: protecting the people of our country — both military personnel and civilians — as well as our critical infrastructure from the threat posed by enemy strike UAVs.

/3. I want to emphasize that the current restrictions are TEMPORARY — or, more precisely, EMERGENCY measures. They will be replaced by a comprehensive, well-thought-out global solution, but such a solution requires time to implement.

/4. It is also long overdue to collect complete information nationwide regarding the use of SpaceX services within the Armed Forces. I will be frank: attempts to do this have already been made. However, many soldiers using volunteer-provided or personally owned Starlink terminals were reluctant to share this information with their command. There were concerns that a commander might confiscate the equipment, fail to replace it, or create other complications.

/5. We will definitely find a way to gather this information across the Army in a manner that earns the trust of soldiers and ensures they are willing to provide it.
I also want to stress that SpaceX is directly involved in this process and is actively assisting specialists from the Ministry of Defence.
Once again, I apologize to everyone who has been temporarily affected by these measures. However, for the security of the country, these actions are currently both critical and absolutely necessary.”
