Volodymyr Zelenskyy: gave awards to members of the Territorial Defense
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave awards to members of the Territorial Defense, Sunday, October 2.
Zelenskyy noted how Territorial Defense fighters are involved in the liberation of Kharkiv and defense of several regions, including Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia.
Ukraine said Sunday it has taken full control of Lyman, the eastern logistics hub that was part of the territory Russian President Vladimir Putin had illegally claimed last week was now part of Russia.
Russia did not comment Sunday on the fate of Lyman but said Saturday that its troops were retreating from the area because it feared Ukrainian forces were about to encircle them. Russia had captured Lyman in May and had used it as a logistics and transportation hub for its operations in the north of the Donetsk region

Zelenskyy mencatat bagaimana pejuang Pertahanan Teritori terlibat dalam pembebasan Kharkiv dan pertahanan beberapa wilayah, termasuk Mykolaiv dan Zaporizhzhia.
Ukraina mengatakan pada hari Minggu bahwa mereka telah mengambil kendali penuh atas Lyman, pusat logistik timur yang merupakan bagian dari wilayah yang telah diklaim Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin secara ilegal pekan lalu sekarang merupakan bagian dari Rusia.
Rusia tidak berkomentar hari Minggu tentang nasib Lyman tetapi mengatakan pada hari Sabtu bahwa pasukannya mundur dari daerah tersebut karena takut pasukan Ukraina akan mengepung mereka. Rusia telah menangkap Lyman pada bulan Mei dan telah menggunakannya sebagai pusat logistik dan transportasi untuk operasinya di utara wilayah Donetsk.
