“Russian troops’ lack of confidence in sufficient medical provision is almost certainly contributing to a declining state of morale and a lack of willingness to undertake offensive operations in many units in Ukraine.” “When combined with those reservists who are being mobilized, the domestic economic impact of reduced availability of labor and the acceleration of ‘brain drain’ is likely to become increasingly significant.” An adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky tweeted that Russian forces would have to “ask for an exit from Lyman” if they want to surrender, adding, “Only if, of course, those in the Kremlin are concerned for their soldiers.” “Some newly mobilized Russian reservists have been ordered to source their own combat first aid supplies, with the advice that female sanitary products are a cost-effective solution.” cut the main supply corridor to Russian troops in Severodonetsk and Lysychansk [in Luhansk],” Ukraine’s military General Staff said on Telegram.

The force is some 5,500 men, said Ukrainian military analyst Taras Berezovets in a tweet.

Here are five key developments on Friday from Russia's war in Ukraine. 1. Russian forces 'partially surrounded' in Lyman. A senior Russian-backed official ...

Moscow has previously said the pipeline damage occurred in territory that is "fully under the control" of US intelligence agencies. Residents of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson are becoming our citizens forever." Russian missile strikes also damaged a high-rise building in Mykolaiv and wounded eight people. "The so-called referendums were a travesty, an absolute travesty," he said, praising the "sacrifice" of Ukrainians to "save their people and maintain the independence of their country. According to state media, the head of Russia's foreign intelligence service said that Moscow had materials which indicated the West had a role in the leaks. Putin said on Thursday that the "unprecedented sabotage" against pipelines was "an act of international terrorism". US President Joe Biden vowed on Thursday to "never, ever, ever" recognise the results of the "Russian-orchestrated" referendums. In an earlier speech, the Russian President announced; "there are four new regions of Russia". Alexei Katerinitshev, a deputy head of the Moscow-backed administration, was killed "in a precise strike" on his home on Thursday night, according to the Russian news agency TASS. Vladimir Putin has formally annexed four regions of eastern Ukraine -- Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia -- that all held so-called "referendums" on joining Russia in the last week. Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it a priority for Russian forces to control all of the industrial Donbas regions and his "partial mobilisation" of Russian troops aims to fortify Russian positions. In addition to Lyman, Russian occupation forces in the neighbouring Kherson region reported on Friday that a senior government official was killed in a Ukrainian strike.

Ukraine said on Friday that its troops had captured a village near the Russian stronghold of Lyman in the eastern Donetsk region, hours after Moscow-backed.

The head of the Russian-backed administration in the Donetsk region said earlier on Friday that Lyman was “semi-encircled” by the Ukrainian army and that news from the front was “alarming.” Ukraine said on Friday that its troops had captured a village near the Russian stronghold of Lyman in the eastern Donetsk region, hours after Moscow-backed forces reported “alarming” news from the area. The defense ministry tweeted a photo of what it said were Ukrainian troops in Drobysheve, some 10 km (six miles) to the northwest of Lyman, which was taken by Russia in May after an extended battle.

Russian troops are "half encircled" in the strategic city in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, a Kremlin-installed official acknowledged.

"It demonstrates that Ukraine is fighting in a sophisticated way that successfully combines different parts of its armed forces with good tactical planning," he added. "I want the authorities in Kyiv and their real overlords in the West to hear me: The residents of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson are becoming our citizens," Putin said on Friday. Echoing Melvin's remarks, Justin Bronk, a senior research fellow at RUSI, said Ukrainian success in encircling the Russian forces at Lyman is militarily significant in terms of further progress into the Luhansk region before winter, "unhinging another key Russian position." Neil Melvin, director of International Security Studies at British defense and security think tank the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), told Newsweek that Ukrainian success in surrounding Russian forces in Lyman would be the second major Ukrainian victory on that front in a month. The United States-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) think tank meanwhile assessed that Ukrainian troops have likely nearly completed the encirclement of the Russian grouping in Lyman, and cut critical ground lines of communication (GLOCS) that support Russian troops in the Drobysheve-Lyman area. An encirclement of Russian forces near Lyman, an occupied town in Ukraine's northeast, is "at the final stage," a military spokesperson said, as Ukrainian troops moved to surround the region from all fronts.

And the 752nd GMRR, arguably the best of the units in the Lyman garrison. It’s also possible Lyman represents the culmination of the current counteroffensive in the east. How quickly the coming winter turns eastern Ukraine into a sea of mud. By Friday there was no road out of Lyman that the Ukrainians couldn’t bring under intensive fire. How much reserve combat power the Ukrainian army possesses after a month of intensive operations. [The 752nd on paper is a powerful formation](https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR2500/RR2563/RAND_RR2563.pdf), although it like much of the Russian army has suffered steep losses as Russia’s wider war on Ukraine grinds into its eighth month. There reportedly were as many as 5,000 Russians in the town at the time. The Russians east of Kharkiv abandoned their tanks and fighting vehicles and fled into separatist Luhansk Oblast. The 752nd GMRR was one of two regiment-size units that, on New Year’s Eve in 1994, got enveloped in Grozny during the first of Russia’s two bloody wars in Chechnya. Then, coordinating with battalions advancing from the west and south, they began encircling Lyman last week. But it wasn’t until the Ukrainians’ eastern counteroffensive gained momentum a couple of weeks ago that liberating the town became possible. Among the thousands of Russians reportedly trapped in Lyman are members of the 752nd Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment.

"Ukrainian forces will likely capture or encircle Lyman within the next 72 hours," the Institute for the Study of War said on Friday.

"More significantly, perhaps, will be the potential role effects on already shaken morale among Russian troops elsewhere in Ukraine," Bronk added.

Those cities, Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk, succumbed to Russian forces who had maximized their superior firepower in helping Moscow to seize control of Luhansk province, which together with neighboring Donetsk forms the Donbas. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday signed decrees to declare the four regions part of Russia. Fighting for Lyman, which is in the northern part of Donetsk province, has intensified over the past few weeks after Ukraine made a series of gains during a rapid counteroffensive in Kharkiv province in the country’s northeast.

They appeared to be edging closer to encircling Lyman, a strategic rail hub in the country's east.

But some on social media and a few people passing by interpreted the vandalism to be a protest of Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine. In a letter to the bloc’s executive arm earlier this week, energy ministers from 15 out of 27 member nations called for a general cap on the price of gas — which wealthier states such as Germany and the Netherlands oppose. Marina Kovalenko, 57, a personal trainer who lives nearby, saw photos of the paint on social media and hurried over to catch a glimpse. The measures approved by the bloc’s energy ministers focused on taxing energy-company profits — the proceeds of which would be used to fund subsidies for struggling businesses and households — and a mandatory reduction in electricity consumption. The energy ministers gathered in Brussels on Friday agreed to a cap on revenues of nuclear and renewable energy suppliers at $180 per megawatt-hour, as well as a “solidarity” tax on fossil fuel companies. And for the first time in its history, the bloc mandated a politically sensitive reduction in energy consumption. [Fighting for Lyman](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/26/world/europe/ukraine-donbas-russia-lyman-bakhmut.html), which is in the northern part of Donetsk Province, has intensified over the past few weeks after Ukraine made a series of gains during a rapid counteroffensive in Kharkiv Province in the country’s northeast. He mixed conspiratorial riffs against an American-led “neocolonial system” with an appeal to the world to see Russia as the leader of an uprising against American power. Now, researchers at the Integrated Carbon Observation System, a Europe-wide research network that runs air monitoring stations across the continent have taken readings of methane gas from the leaks and combined them with weather and other atmospheric patterns to model the path of the plume.

Its fall would be Ukraine's biggest battlefield gain since a lightning counteroffensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region last month. Putin proclaimed the Donbas regions of Donetsk and Luhansk and the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia to be Russian land in Friday's ceremony - a swathe of territory equal to about 18% of Ukraine's total surface land area. "The Russian grouping in the area of Lyman is surrounded," the spokeperson, Serhii Cherevatyi, said on television. KYIV, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Ukrainian forces reached the entrance of the eastern bastion of Lyman on Saturday after encircling thousands of Russian troops, Kyiv said, in a battlefield rebuttal to the Kremlin a day after it proclaimed a swathe of territory to be part of Russia.

Ukraine has encircled Russia’s forces around a bastion that is critical for Moscow at the eastern town of Lyman, in an operation that is still under way. The World Bank has said it will provide an additional US$530m in support to Ukraine, bringing the total aid by the bank to $13bn. The Ukrainian director-general of the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been detained by a Russian patrol, according to Energoatom. Of course, it has been very important for me to underline that the Danish authorities have said that this this is not an accident.
