It took Russian more than a year and countless losses to even establish that salient. The Russian propaganda announced Lyman's fall already. Seeing the collapse in a matter of weeks only paraphrases the absolute insanity of the Russia tactics to mindlessly throw in bodies with virtually zero gain and now even a territorial loss.

Far worse for the Russian invasion is the setback on the operational level. Their movements have already been minuscule. Lyman is vital if Russians want to move forward. Even according the most optimistic prognostications for the Russian side, it would have taken years for them to take the Ukrainian fortress cities Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, if at all.
