Russian forces have withdrawn from the strategically important Ukrainian town of Lyman in the Donetsk region.
It is served as a logistics and transport hub for Moscow, connecting eastern Ukraine to the north.
The Russian Defence Ministry says it made the move to avoid its troops being encircled by Ukrainian forces.
Al Jazeera’s @Charles Stratford has more from Kramatorsk, Ukraine.

Proxy War never said losses alway wins….. said Netralist
American Predator drones and Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones are operated just like remotely controlled toy: airplanes, boats, submarines, and helicopters; from thousands of miles away. Using modern home video game equipment people from all over the world will pay per hour to operate, over the internet in Ukraine,* drones and quad-copters to *drop bombs on Ruzzian:* tanks, jets, helicopters, ships, ammunition, soldiers, trucks, fuel, *electrical-and-water-infrastructure,* _headquarters, and generals._ Does that sound like a lot of fun? It does to Me!!! *It is God’s work defending Democracy.* Amen.
Beautiful! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 It was a special military defeat and retreat 🤣
God bless Ukraine 🙏
INDIAN GOVERNMENT SHOULD ALWAYS REPAY THEIR DEBT … MODI?? WE DIED FOR THE BRITISH RAJ; WE DIED TO FREE BANGLADESH.. IF REQUIRED WE WILL DIE IN UKRAINE!! … INDIAN MAN ALWAYS REPAY THEIR DEBTS!! UNLIKE THE WHITE ANGLO MAN.. WHO RULED INDIA FOR 200YRS!! RESEARCH: WHEN RUSSIA STUNNED US & UK NAVAL FORCES AND HELPED INDIA INVADE EAST PAKISTAN DURING 1971 WAR!! … @S A CITIZEN OF INDIA .. I WANT TO REPAY MY DEBT … AND FIGHT!! FOR RUSSIA..
What are the reasons behind that Ukraine is making gains on the battlefield now?
Don’t worry God is doing everything for the Ukraine victory 🙏 time God is good all the time glory 🙏 to God.
This is the 3rd tetreat feom russia. And russia is doing an Aggression offensive… hahahahahahahaha worst military on our planet
At the very start I had criticized Zelenski. But now I see the true leadership he has and wish all of Ukraine my blessings to win back their country from these true Nazis
what happens when they hit the wall they won’t report it then f****** liars
Aljazeera is compromised
Do you mean strategic as in they withdrew in order to use a tactical nuke
Time to fxx bcxxxx Russia
“I🙋 wander how Russia is going to respond; now that is confirmed that Joe Biden ordered to blow up the Nord Stream Pipelines 1 and 2, also is confirmed that NATO forces has been directly fighting the war against Russian forces in Ukraine.” Russia is losing the war against Biden’s fake news media like this one, and NATO’s forces, fighter jets, tanks, and long-range missiles, ATACMS, and HIMARS, thousands of Stinger missiles, intelligence that has allowed NATO to kill Russian generals and target ammunition depots, command posts, radars, tanks and Russian air defenses with precision-guided rocket attacks, with the thousands of satellite-guided rockets missiles that the PENTAGON has provided to NATO”. 🦁Of course Russia was fighting for their people with their hands tight, after October 5th things are going to be different. Biden has spent three-quarters of the $40 billion approved by the USA Congress in May; officials told the Associated Press, 10/01/2022 USA congress approved $13.7 billion more. Biden continues announcing multi-billion dollar packages to fund weapons and ammo, surface-to-air missiles, counter-drone technology, and drones.” “Together we will win!” Zelensky wrote on social media, thanking Biden, England and European Union, for all the missiles and money.
Run run run
So many bodies decomposed!!!
Pluto 17,646,012 square kilometers🤔
Russia 17,125,191 square kilometers🤔
“I NEED MORE LAND, ANNEX UKRAINE!” – Putin 😂
With *100 privately-owned commercially-operated for-profit* Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones being *operated by people all over the world over the internet who pay by the hour* to drop bombs on Ruzzians; flying as air cover. *Ukraine can attack and capture Moscow which is only 540 miles from Ukraine.* Who is going to stop the Ukrainian army? Is Ruzzia gonna use nukes on its own land? Don’t thing so! Eliminate the threat from Russia forever!
An American Predator drone costs $30 million while the proven effective even against the Russian missile systems meant to take it down Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drone; costs a mere $1 million each. Using the 79-centimeter Bozok (“white arrow” in Turkish) laser-guided-missile which weighs 16 kilograms and costs only $21,000. It can hit targets at a maximum distance of six kilometers. While a Hellfire missile cost $150,000 each.
2 different systems with vastly different operating conditions and parameters. Can a Tb2 hit anywhere in the world? Payload size also differs. The US also has smaller drones not just a predator
Drones are used to sh00t down jets also. Operating a *Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drone* is like playing a video game. Existing video game hardware can be used so that operators all over the world. *Can pay for time at the controls of a Bayraktar TB2 drone flying in defense of Ukraine.*
Well at least this time they didn’t run like rats. They “retreated” in organized manner.
It is interesting to see how these semi-pro Russian news channels, who used to spread a lot of Russian narratives some months back, is now showing Ukrainian victories. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦❤️
Slava Ukraine 💪
Congratulations Aljazira.
Why don’t you celebrate?
People who love justice, truth and goodness and universal civilization will love and care for life even more after experiencing or comprehending the evil deeds in which life has been brutally abused!
And in the brains of “Corrupt and anti-human dictators, Low-level savage perverted terrorists, Vicious and cunning gangsters, Brainless and brutal thugs…”, there is only oneself, a rotten walking dead full of fear and self-splitting.
Truth, goodness, justice and universal freedom and civilization are closely united, cooperate and help each other, and care for life!
Completely despise “Corruption Erosion, Hypocrisy Cunning, Intrigue, Evil premeditated harm and mistreatment torture the lives and health of others…”.
Where are all the femenists fighting in the frontline for equality and against patriachy?
They say the Russia puppet army withdrawn from Lyman 😂😂 how many more lies & propaganda from the Russia puppets, the Russia’s were surrounded and most of them were killed and captured by the Ukraine army 👍. Slava Ukraine, we stand with you 👋👌👍
“Russian Forces Retreat From Strategic City of Lyman”
or
“Ukraine Encircles Thousands of Russian Troops at Lyman Stronghold And Are Cut Off” ………… So which is it, there are so many headlines out there???
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💙🇺🇦💛🇺🇦💙
@Mr Pepe Is that your best response, pitiful.
Points are awarded for the destruction of targets, a hall a fame is begun, and at the end of the week free time at the controls of a Bayraktar TB2 drone in theater are awarded; to the operator with the highest confirmed k!ll totals.
*To pay to fly Bayraktar TB2 drones from their homes,* like playing a video game. *Which are used to blow up Russian everything:* tanks, troops, artillery, *trucks carrying food, fuel and ammunition,* _airplanes on the ground in Russia,_ and *Russian generals.*
Flying a Predator drone is like playing a video game from thousands of miles away by operators with monitors and joysticks; just like someone playing a video game. There are no international laws preventing hundreds of startup companies providing the opportunity for thousands of people all over world.
Using video-game-technology people from all over the world are able to drop bombs from home on Russian: tanks, artillery, fuel, ammunition, trucks, and personal. This is both legal and very lucrative business as all the money spent to operate Ukrainian drones against Russians from home; is tax deductible!
0:16 shows blue band in helmet, probably Ukrainian soldier. Salute to fallen heroes.
The Russians chose the letter “Z” in a FAILED ATTEMPT to distance themselves from the behavior of the “NOT Zs”! Get it?
*Part 12 of 66* Gives RumpT’s bloodthirsty, Qu Qlux Qlan, insurrectionist supporters.
*Part 13 of 66* A way to vent their hostilities as a foreign terr0rists in Ukraine; rather than a domestic terr0rist in America.
If Ukraine loses Bakhmut or Nikolaev all this means nothing. Lyman only has a population of 20000 so it doesn’t mean much in the percentage of occupied territory, Russia has an increased population of 4M after the annexation. It’s a minor setback for Russia and that’s all it is
But for russia lyman is strategically important. Because lyman is transportation hub and communication and supply base of russian troops in donetsk. By lose lyman to ukraine, russian communication line and logistic will be worsened after lose izium to ukraine.
Russia strategically ran away LOL
It is not fair that Ukraine is having all the fun of *kicking Ruzzia’s RumpT like it stole Crimea.* Since America is leading the defense of Ukraine we should be allowed to have the pleasure of *operating low-cost Turkish-Bayraktar TB2 drones from our homes,* paying by the hour over the internet, in defense of Ukraine; using modern video game technology.
*Large-quad-copter and Predator drones are just like remotely-controlled-toy: boats, airplanes, helicopters, tanks, cars, and submarines.* American soldiers within America and all over the world remotely drop bombs on people all over the world who have never attacked America every day. Which is why people fly hijacked airliners into the WTC.
Ukraine forever 💪🇺🇦💪
Lyman is irrelevant. And for a month was defended by 500 hundreds russian soldiers against 6500 ukrains…
500. It was defended by 5.500 russian troops.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
India supports all russian actions, they are traitors
Take no prisoners, Slava Ukraine!
Retreat now stupid Russian soldiers and Evil Putin. Why are you afraid of crazy Putin?
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣you dreaming
You still believing aljazeera’s news😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In fact, russian already leave lyman and hand over it to ukraine according to russian MOD speaker igor konanshenkov.
@antonius samuelson I’m talking about the way they represent news with more salt & pepper 😂😂😂
The world suffers a lot because of a fascist Volodimir from Ukraine. High inflation, high oil prices, tension around the world, protests, etc. If we don’t get rid of this joker, there will be a ww3. Remember. “asking for help” was what started WW1. The same thing with WW2.
Very good Ukraine forces
You fell into the trap: lured north for a pyrrhic victory, which renders Ukros easily surrounded. Russia did same thing in a similar area in WW2 against Nazis/Ukronazis.
That’s the same answer i got when ukraine succesfully took izium but in fact russia didn’t surrounded ukrainian in izium until now. So you want to make another joke that ukraine will be surrounded?😂😂😂
Meanwhile, Ukraine nearly landlocked. Not sure what good that 2-horse town will do ya.
The sad irony is that no one threatened Russia. This is a disaster of its own making!
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Russia is a joke to world. The russian deed will lead to collapse one day.
You are just out right lying!
someone’s in denial
Please no tears.
Putin will nuke lyman this week
Maybe Russian soldiers don’t want to bath in the shower of fire to come.??
Please show more videos of the defeated Russians.
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦.
When ever Russia losses ground to Ukraine they say it was a strategic withdraw. Russia been having a lot of “strategic withdraws” 😂
Wow Russia admitted it retreated. When they start to tell the truth that’s scary.
Ukraine you are not small and God loves you
Poor pets being left
I just don’t understand why the US and are allies don’t intervene forget Russia having nukes so do we so do are allies its no rationalizing with putin he one of those people you have to put the paws on because that’s the only thing he understand so many people died that didn’t have to its crazy how the US don’t have no problem with going into Arabic countries and fighting but won’t bust a grape with putin
Because they don’t want to escalate the war.
@Ms. Kizzie but yet the US don’t mind going in Arabic and Muslim countries to fight a war it seems to me that its more fear than anything in my opinion
@chocolate 216 Yes everyone is entitled to their opinion. So far Russian allies have remained on the sidelines because Russia is the aggressor. There is the fear of nuclear weapons being used and the war escalating. I don’t recall wars in Muslim and Arabic countries haven’t involved such threats.
Love everyone in the comments changing sides as soon as Russia started losing …..
No
We can’t forgive Russians🇷🇺war crimes🔥Glory to Ukraine🇺🇦🕊
Yea every time they retreat it’s strategic
There’s something going to happen Russia don’t retreat so easily putin is up to something. He’s a deranged lunatic nothing would surprise me .
Glory to Ukraina 🇺🇦✌️
Big respect to the people of Ukraine. Slava Ukraini
Putin is a loser, and the Russian Army has already lost this war. Ouch
Putin is the biggest loser since Stalin. It’s time the Russian people step up and remove him from power.
I believe Russia, it has a big plan, ,Ukrainian army must slow down, ,Russia it has more than 2m active military personnel, ,they haven’t send even a quater of them,
GOOOO GET THEM UKRAINE!!!!!
I think people are celebrating to soon…Russia has been using Strategic Retreats and Feined Retreats over and over again for literally 100’s of years….seems to always prove successful in the end.
Next step, push them bastards back to Moscow.
My goodness!!! Does anyone else notice the EXTREME amount of bots and obviously paid trolls in this comment section??? How much of my tax money is going to this BS??
Is this your job and do you really pay tax.
Stupid war
ALL THE BEST UKRAINE ❤️
几十万移动的耗材正在来袭
Tactical withdrawal aka retreat . Russia winning the war with semantics
乌克兰顶住
Putin seems like the most generous man in the world by withdrawing from Lyman barely a day after declaring it as part of Russia. Paradoxical, Funny, Weird and utter Nonsense. 🤣
Glory to Ukrainian ❤❤❤
Vladimir Putin knows that if Russia loses this war, he is finished, the Russian people will be furious at him and probably execute him. I mean this guy told his people that only under 6000 soldiers died when the true number is around 50,000 so when all those parents find out that their sons are dead and they were lied to, they’re gonna be pretty heated. So Putin really doesn’t have a way out here. It’s his life on the line. So he is motivated enough to use a tactical nuke on Ukrainian forces. Now the question is, will his military follow that order? If they do, that’ll open a whole can of worms that will backfire on Russia in the end. Every single country that doesn’t have nukes will try to get them. And building a basic nuclear bomb is not that hard for a country if they really wanted to do it. India, Pakistan, and North Korea managed to do it. China was also a poor developing nation when they did it. Iran would have done it by now if they weren’t sanctioned but the US can’t sanction everybody.
Bravo and Hourra to the brave defenders of the freedom of Ukraine against the outdated and expired evil system under Putin.
Young men in Russia running for the borders, Russian soldiers running back over the border. 🤔
“It was a strategic withdrawal in a special operation that is fully under control and going according to plan which is why we now mobilize our entire country”
– Lievrov, Putrid & Co.
that AS-VAL looks so dope
Russia pulling back to use nukes
Russia dont care about : No Man Left Behind
They sure care about no coward left behind, though. They’ll go to the ends of the earth to stop someone leaving the battle or the country.
Great news🇺🇦💪
👍
Putin think his Russia is on the same level as the one that defeated Napoleon. The only thing that keeps them relevant in terms of any power is their nuclear arsenal. Run back to Moscow.
Hope rusia to nuke ukraine to kill this terrorized ordinary people in ukraine
“withdraw” haha come on Al Jazeera quit using Russian terminology. you’re better than that. Retreat or rout would be a lot more fitting.
The more the Ukrainians advance, the higher the chance of the Russians using nuclear weapons.
Yeaahh brothers in arms. Splat goes the commie.
The Russians are retreating because of the imminent nuclear attack.
Sad because people are cheering for bio labs to be kept in Ukraine
