- Russian President Vladimir Putin will likely announce the Russian annexation
of occupied Ukrainian territory on September 30 after Russian officials
completed their falsified “referenda” on September 27.
- Russian forces are reportedly committing newly-mobilized Western Military
District (WMD) men to the Kherson and Kharkiv Oblast frontlines without
prior training.
- Ukrainian forces are consolidating their positions on the eastern bank of
the Oskil river and made further gains on the outskirts of Lyman.
- Ukrainian forces continued to target Russian ground lines of communication
(GLOCs) as part of the southern counter-offensive interdiction campaign,
particularly disrupting Russian efforts to build barge crossings.
- Russian forces continued unsuccessful offensive operations around Bakhmut
and west of Donetsk City, increasingly leveraging penal units.
- Russian forces inflicted severe damage on a Ukrainian airfield in Kryvyi Rih
and continued routine air and missile strikes across southern Ukraine.
- Russian authorities are establishing checkpoints at Russia’s borders to
forcibly mobilize Russian men who are seeking to avoid forced mobilization
by fleeing the country.
- Russian officials are setting conditions to forcibly mobilize or conscript
Ukrainian civilians in soon-to-be annexed areas of occupied Ukraine.
- The Russian annexation of occupied Donetsk and Luhansk will likely
exacerbate tensions within DNR and LNR forces, who regularly mutiny
when asked to fight outside the borders of their own oblasts.
- Russian officials may attempt to reframe their invasion of Ukraine and
occupation of soon-to-be-annexed Ukrainian territory as a “counterterrorism
operation.”
