The Ukrainian Army in the LPR on September 10th

On September 10 the defense of Liman was basically already ongoing. The main objective of the Ukrainian army at that point was to flank the Russian troops on the Azkold River, capture Bravaya and expand the bridgehead then move forward. This is when the situation started becoming critical around Liman. In the end the Ukrainians stopped their attack on Bravaya and Swatova and lost tempo because they needed more troops to encircle Liman. On October 1st so this is six additional days. Bravaya on the river was only taken on October 3rd at that point.
