Ukrainian forces, during a counteroffensive that had been largely unreported for several months, eliminated a significant part of the Russian salient north of Lyman. According to analysts, in some sectors, the front has returned approximately to its May 2025 configuration. Russian military bloggers also acknowledge the seriousness of the situation.

An animation published by French OSINT analyst Clément Molin shows how the front line changed from May 22 to September 5. Ukrainian forces gradually attacked the flanks of the Russian salient, after which they pushed back the enemy towards the Zherebets River, Nevske, and Makiivka.
Thus, the results of approximately a year of Russian offensive in this sector were largely lost. The exact area of territory returned to Ukrainian control remains unclear for now — DeepState is not updating the map.
One of the largest pro-Russian military channels, «Rybar», openly writes about the problems of Russian forces. According to the channel's authors, tactical failures could escalate into more serious problems due to "incorrect assessment of the situation and systemic lies in reports to higher-ups."
Russian military blogger Anatoly Radov also stated that the Ukrainian counteroffensive in this direction has been ongoing for about two and a half months, but the Russian command tried to keep it silent.
The Ukrainian General Staff has not yet reported on a large-scale counteroffensive.
