As part of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, military operations have taken place in the northeastern part of the Donetsk Oblast, on two fronts which are referred to as the Lyman front and the Siversk front after the nearby cities of Lyman and Siversk. Russian forces established a bridgehead over the Zherebets River in early January 2025, which was speculated by Ukrainian officials and Western analysts to be part of an attempt to capture Lyman.
