⚡️Putin signs decrees 'recognizing independence' of Ukraine's Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, partly invaded by Russia.

The decrees say that Russia "recognizes independence" of Ukraine's southern Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, which Russia partly invaded earlier this year.
The move follows Russia's sham referendums that it staged in the occupied territories on Sept. 23-27, claiming to ask locals if they wanted the territories to "join Russia."
In this way, Russia seeks to solidify its control over the invaded Ukrainian territories following the recent successful counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

⚡️ISW: Russia’s deployment of forces to Ukraine’s south likely enabling Ukrainian counterattacks.
The Institute for the Study of War reports that Ukraine's counterattack in Kharkiv on Sept. 6 was likely an opportunistic effort enabled by the redeployment of Russian forces away from the area to reinforce their positions against the Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kherson Oblast.
Obituary data on Russian soldiers suggests Russia deployed elements of the 147th Artillery Regiment of the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division of the 1st Guards Tank Army to Kherson Oblast no earlier than late August.

⚡️Institute for the Study of War: Russia deploys security forces to Luhansk, forcibly transfers Ukrainian children to Russia.
The U.S. think tank reports that the Russian proxies in Luhansk Oblast announced joint patrols with police detachments from Russia’s Leningrad Oblast, which may signal that support for the war is dwindling.
The ISW also suggests that Russian forces may have conducted a false flag attack on the headquarters of the leader of the Kremlin’s proxies in Donetsk on Aug. 23 to justify an attack on Ukrainian government buildings on Independence Day.
