Part of war 09/29/2022 – the siege of Krasny Liman narrows
29 September, 2022 Zhukov
Summary of Yuri Podoliak 19:00 hours
https://t.me/rpd_es/703
Krasny Liman continues to hold out, despite the increasing pressure of the enemy who continues to advance, despite huge number of casualties. Light enemy advances were observed near Shandrigolovo and Zelenaya Dolina. Unpleasant, but not critical; the truly critical point is the village of Drobyshevo, where the BARS volunteer units are still holding out. As of 19:00, the situation has not changed substantially for either side despite the very intense fighting. The enemy did not try to attack from the Kupyansk bridgehead.
Yuri hopes that, once the 4 regions of Ukraine are accepted into the Russian Federation next week, Moscow will present Kiev with an ultimatum, which, apparently, will be rejected. So, Yuri hopes that a "completely different war" will begin.
The day has passed without reports, I copy Rybar's, kindly sent by a reader.
"At the moment Liman is under pressure from the north, the Ridkodub gap is widening, the Ukronos have taken Seredne, Shrandyholove, Novoselivka, Zelana Dolyna, Kolodyazi, with reconnaissance patrols approaching Zarichne. The Svatove-Terny highway is cut off. There is only one escape route at the moment by Zarichne-Tors'ke.
Rybar talks about extremely compromised situation due to lack of reinforcements, Liman is about to fall and the defense of the borders of Luhansk is committed.
We will see if the command orders the retreat, otherwise it is that they intend to hold the position, perhaps thinking of an imminent counteroffensive. The Ukros in any case are throwing out the remains.»
Ukrainian units continue to surround Liman, developing an offensive towards the territorial boundaries of the Luhansk People's Republic. The Liman garrison is fighting in an operational environment with superior enemy forces.
On the outskirts of Liman
The enemy tried to attack the city from three directions: from the Dibrov side, the Brusino railway station and Stary Liman. The garrison holds out, all attacks are repulsed.
Ukrainian Forces are intensively shelling Liman with all available means of destruction, including HIMARS rockets
North of Liman
Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine occupied Kolodezi, Zelenaya Dolina and cut off the Svatovo - Makeevka - Terny - Lyman highway.
From the side of the village of Kolodezi, an enemy platonwith the support of armored vehicles, conducted a reconnaissance in combat in the direction of Zarechny (Kirovsk). After being beaten by the artillery fire of the People's Militia of the LNR, the Ukrainian formations were forced to retreat.
Through Zarechnoye - Torskoye passes the last road connecting the Liman garrison with the territory controlled by the Allied forces. Ukrainian forces are attacking villages from the north from the side of the village of Kolodezi and from the south - from the bridgehead on the banks of the Seversky Donets.
West of Liman
The enemy occupied Shandrigolovo and Novoselka. The western flank of the Liman defense in Drobyshevo is held by fighters of BARS-13 and the Russian 20th combined arms army.
In this situation, without the transfer of significant reinforcements and the concentration of the attention of the Russian command in the direction of Liman, there is a serious risk of the fall of Liman and a collapse of the defensive lines of the Russian army on the western borders of the Luhansk People's Republic.
The President of the Donetsk Republic, Dennis Pushilin, stated at 22:40 that
"the situation in the Krasny Liman sector remains the most difficult, but very soon there will be a turning point in favor of the Allied forces"
24:00 hours
https://t.me/DonbassDevushka
"the situation is extremely difficult. The enemy strikes the main blow near Yampol and Torskoye, aiming to finally cut off the Kremennaya-Liman highway and surround our troops. Attacks with large forces supported by artillery, HIMARS and armored vehicles. Today will be a very difficult night and tomorrow a very difficult day.»
War Gonzo
Tonight will be decisive for Krasny Lyman. Some may skeptically say "one more time." But we confidently assert, relying on several reliable sources at once, that the situation has never been so difficult and so dangerous there. In addition to the breakthrough, to the Headquarters and the actual blockade of Drobyshev, fragmentary information was added that the battles for Yampol had also begun. The tongs around Lyman can be closed at any time. Our people are still fighting there, fighters of the militia of and of the Russian Army. The drama of the situation adds to the fact that tomorrow, it should be a solemn and historical day. Therefore, God forbid that the tragedy will not happen! We pray for you, our heroes!

Shelling of a column of refugees in Kupyansk
Militants tracked a column of refugees heading to Svatovo with drones and attacked civilians with HIMARS MLRS-source Readovka
Ukrainian militants fired at the convoy with refugees from the Kharkov region with HIMARS rocket launchers. Ukrainian militants tracked a convoy from Kupyansk in the direction of Svatovo in LNR with drones, after which they attacked civilians.
In total, about 40 people were traveling to Svatovo by car; at least 30 people were killed, including children. According to Readovka, five people were seriously injured: one was transported to the Rostov region, and the rest were evacuated to Moscow for further treatment. Seven other people with less serious injuries remained in NRL hospitals.
According to the LN ambassador to Moscow, Rodion Miroshnik, two children are among the survivors. Their parents were killed in the bombing, and the children were taken to the children's hospital of the republic. Their lives are not in danger, but now they are orphans.
About the possible Russian offensive on the Zaporozhye front
https://t.me/south0wind/2821
The situation with rumors about the imminent offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Zaporozhye front is more like an information campaign in Kiev, because there are no forces to open a new front. The combat line of contact in this area has been stable for a long time, Russian troops have created reserves, prepared defense lines. At least two brigades are needed for an offensive here, but there are none. There is the battered 65 Brigade and a regiment of the National Guard, less than half of 1 motorized battalion and elements of the territorial defense. With such forces, the Ukrainian army can only simulate activity and perform demonstration actions, which is exactly what they do.
Ukrainian troops are now actively conducting offensive operations in the Krasny Liman and Kupyansk areas, less actively in the Kherson region, where the enemy is accumulating forces for another launch on Kakhovka. On the Donetsk front, Ukrainian Forces conduct defensive battles, sometimes attempting counterattacks. It is in these areas that the main forces are concentrated. The 53rd Mechanized Brigade in the Cherkasy region and the nationalist units of "Azov" in Rovno are available. But the 53rd was defeated by our troops on the Donetsk front and is licking its wounds, so it is unlikely to go anywhere for the next week or two.
But most likely, the "Azovites" are preparing for an offensive operation in the first days of October. There are only three possible places: – Krivoy Rog direction;– Svatovo Front (north of Liman); -the Vremyevsky direction, already familiar to the militants, is a bridgehead occupied by Russian troops between Gulyai-Pole and Velikaya Novoselka. The latter option fits into the logic and repeats the plan of operation Balakleya, the success of which eliminated the threat of encirclement of the Ukrainian group of forces in the Donbass salient and allowed to align the front, and release units for further offensive in the LNR. In the case of the Vremyevsky leadership, the removal of the bridgehead will nullify the threat to block Ukrainian units conducting defensive actions in the Ugledar and Kurakhovo areas.
It is also advisable to align the front and create prerequisites for further advance towards Berdyansk and Melitopol. Maintaining a constant threat in the Zaporozhye direction shackles the Russian troops and does not allow them to respond quickly to changes in the situation. Under such conditions, the defeat of the reserves in the Cherkassy and Rovno regions, combined with a counteroffensive in Zaporozhye, would allow Russian troops to take the initiative.
