Ukrainian forces have advanced in the Lyman direction of Donetsk Oblast through Operation Vivaldi, a counteroffensive by the 3rd Army Corps targeting a Russian salient north of the city. Reports from mid-September 2026 indicate Ukrainian units reached or cleared positions in Kolodyazi, with Russian milbloggers acknowledging attempts to dislodge them and geolocated footage showing artillery strikes on Ukrainian-held areas there. These gains form part of broader efforts that have reportedly cleared dozens of square kilometers and disrupted Russian logistics. Continued Ukrainian pressure, Russian defensive responses, and any escalation in the immediate sector will shape whether control of the village is sustained or expanded before the market resolution window closes.
