- Russian military leadership has likely failed to set information conditions for
the potential defeat of the Russian grouping in Lyman, despite increasingly
concerned discourse among Russian milbloggers regarding the potential for
a Ukrainian envelopment of Lyman.
- The Kremlin could temporarily postpone announcing the annexation
of Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory to better prepare the Russian
information space and administrative organization, although September 30
remains the most likely date for some kind of annexation announcement.
- Russian authorities continue to send newly-mobilized and undertrained
recruits to directly reinforce severely degraded remnants of various units,
including units that were previously considered to be Russia’s premier
conventional fighting forces.
- Ukrainian forces likely continued to make significant gains around Lyman
on September 28, advancing from the north along the Zelena Dolyna-
Kolodiazi arc and from the southeast around Yampil.
- Ukrainian military officials largely maintained operational silence regarding
specific Ukrainian actions in Kherson Oblast on September 28 but stated that
Ukrainian troops are continuing positional battles in unspecified locations to
consolidate and improve their positions along the Southern Axis.
- Russian forces continued unsuccessful ground attacks in Donetsk Oblast.
- Russian military recruitment officials are openly contradicting the Kremlin’s
publicly-stated guidelines for mobilization to meet quota requirements even
as Kremlin propaganda is attempting to change the public perception of
partial mobilization.
- Russian authorities are beginning to restrict movement of Russian citizens
into Russian border regions to cope with hundreds of thousands of Russian
men attempting to flee the country.
