Situation in the Liman direction
as of 3 p.m. on October 1, 2022
By mid-afternoon it had become clear: the decision was made to withdraw troops and abandon Liman. 1/6
2/ After the video appeared from the eastern outskirts of Zarechnoye with the blown up bridge (49.021573, 37.952583), which was occupied by the AFU, it became clear that the entire "road of life" was already under AFU control.
3/ Russian artillery continues to work on suitable AFU units, but whereas previously the focus was on Liman, now the goal of Ukrainian formations is to blockade Kremenna and take control of the reservoirs on the Zherebets River.
4/ Most likely, the active phase of the AFU offensive from Kupyansk and Redkodub to Svatovo, through which the supply routes of the RF Armed Forces pass, will resume in the near future.
5/ The loss of Liman is, first of all, a serious reputational damage to the Russian Federation. Because since yesterday it is already Russian territory (even though the treaties have not yet been ratified - it is not that important),
6. not just the liberated territories of Ukraine or the Donetsk People's Republic.
Events at the front are a statement of the factual error of not starting mobilization in March. t.me/rybar/39615

That is why I cannot keep silent about what happened in Krasnyy Liman.
Colonel General Alexander Lapin, commander of the Central Military District, led the defense of this area.
3/17
This is the same Lapin who received the star of Hero of Russia for the capture of Lisichansk, although de facto he was nowhere near there. Lapin was also subordinated to the troops of the Western Military District.
"The intensity of shelling of Energodar by militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has sharply increased.
