Serhiy Cherevaty, the spokesman of the Eastern Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stated on the telethon that Russia has concentrated 180,000 occupiers in the Lyman-Kupiansk and Bakhmut directions.

More than 120,000 Russian troops are stationed in the Lyman-Kupiansk direction, others in the Bakhmut region.

Among them are airborne troops, mechanized units, units of the so-called combat army reserve, territorial troops and assault companies "Storm Z" (people with a criminal past are recruited there).

As Cherevaty noted, the Russians have been attacking the Lyman-Kupiansk direction for several months and are actively shelling it with artillery. However, there is no major offensive announced by Russia on the entire front line.
