Russian forces reportedly lost the relics of Dmitry Donskoy while fleeing from the Lyman direction. The Russian Orthodox Church reportedly sent the relics to the front lines to boost the morale of the occupying forces, and has now acknowledged their loss. The relics were left on the battlefield during the retreat.

The relics were left behind during the retreat on the Lyman front, where the Third Army Corps' 'Vivaldi' offensive operation is reportedly continuing successfully. Earlier, Andrey Biletsky reported that since the start of the offensive, the corps has regained control of 176 km² of territory, inflicted 2,000 casualties on the enemy, and taken over 250 Russians prisoner.
