Ukrajinske snage već mjesecima provode lokalnu protuofenzivu sjeverno od Limana u Doneckoj oblasti, a operacija je zbog stroge informacijske discipline gotovo potpuno prošla ispod radara. Prema analizi Euromaidan Pressa, postrojbe ukrajinskog 3. armijskog korpusa na tom su pravcu ne samo zaustavile rusko napredovanje, već su na pojedinim dijelovima fronta uspjele potisnuti ruske snage
