A T-80 battle tank of Kyiv’s forces is destroyed in Kharkov Region
Attempts of Kyiv’s forces to break the Russian defense in the area of Krasny Liman have dramatically increased in the midst of Russia’s expected move to accept Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporozhie regions following voting there.
As of the afternoon of September 29, Russian units retreated from the eastern part of Kupyansk town in the Liman sector. At the same time, advance of Kyiv’s forces was reported in the settlement of Kovsharovka, which was at least partly captured by them.
Intense fighting was ongoing around the settlements of Katerinovka and Zelenaya Dolina. Pro-LPR sources reported that Kyiv’s troops lost over 12 pieces of military equipment in the clashes around the village of Novoe.
Around Soledar, LPR and Russian troops successfully repel attacks of Ukraine forces and captured several Ukrainian troops. Moreover, Kyiv’s fierce attacks on the town of Drobishevo northwest of Liman did not result in any success. Pro-LPR sources claim that the main direction from which Kyiv’s attacks come is the settlements of Novoselovka and Shandrigolovo.
In the current conditions, it seems that Russian forces were able to stabilize the frontline around Krasny Liman. However, the significant advantage of Ukrainian army in the manpower remains an key factor in this sector. The Ukrainian side directed by NATO military advisers will apparently continue its attempts to throw even more cannon fodder on Russian defenses in hope to make a few more tactical gains before the Russian military force in the region of Donbass sees the first practical results on the ongoing partial mobilization in Russia.
A Russian battle tank eliminates a T-64 of Kyiv’s forces in a counter-tank battle around Ugledar (southwest of Donetsk):
On top of this, Kyiv’s military forces attacked a civilian convoy that was moving towards Russian-controlled territory in Kharkov region, killing over 30 people including children.
Lugansk People’s Republic’s envoy to Russia, Rodion Miroshnik, wrote on his Telegram channel that emergency services were unable to access the bodies immidiately, as shelling from Kyiv’s forces continues. The republic’s health ministry stated that seven other people were injured, including two children who lost their parents in the shelling.
Miroshnik stated the Ukrainian side knew exactly who they were shooting at, as they had used drones to track down the refugee vehicle convoy before “intentionally aiming at civilians.”
Speaking to the Russia 24 TV channel, the LPR envoy said that the number of civilians trying to get out of Kharkov Region significantly increased in recent days. According to him, most of the fleeing residents are trying to cross into Russia’s Belgorod region or the LPR, especially from the cities of Kupyansk and Balakleya.

Aleksandr Khodakovsky, one of the well-known commanders of self-defense forces of Donbass, shared in his Telegram a critical view on actions of Russian military commanders in the combat zone:
I am sure that everyone in the Ministry of Defense, just like me, wants a better result. Neither the [defense] minister nor Chief of the General Staff carry a fig sign in their pockets, and do not sleep at night, receiving cuffs every day and realizing that if not now, at the crossing, then later all questions will be asked. But if they sleep and see victory, why does it turn out like that, how does it turn out?
We surrendered those small positions that we recently took, having lost a lot of people… And here the question is, not “why did we surrender” – everything is clear to me – but “why did we take them”? How many times have I, a homegrown strategist, said that you should not get into a loop – you need to attack on a wide sector, having more than one echelon behind you, so that there is someone to develop the offensive when the advanced units run out of steam? I said that with a lack of forces and means, you need to keep an optimal distance from the enemy and work from defense until the accumulation of resources allows you to go on the offensive… But then why are we jumping, creating an unacceptable position for ourselves?
But here other laws already work, which have nothing to do with strategy and tactics. Here the general came to the grouping with the aim of strengthening [forces] and improving [situation], because before him it was neither strong nor good, and his personal task is to make a good impression. And what about the weakened resource? He does this and that, he employs non-manual relations, and his efforts are noticed, and the promotion seems to be looming, but all the same, a demobilization chord is needed. And now he gives a chord, thanks for the service, and decreases …. And his chord, due to its lack of viability, lives in agony for three days and subsides.
It is obvious that personal ambitions and self-esteem come into competition with the interests of the cause. At the top, a result is always needed, and when it is not there, they often try to push an imitation of it. Often, but not always. I know, for example, Teplinsky, Mordvichev, other generals with whom I had to communicate personally – Russia can be proud of them. It is important that such approach, as they demonstrate, become ubiquitous: only the real result, and when there is none, the truth about the causes. I would be very pleased to meet with the general, who in our country in 2014 bore the call sign Kazbek. His favorite saying is ‘there are no pockets in a coffin’, but the system did not like such persons. But now the time has come when it is precisely these people who need to be given a way – by this you will win.
Meanwhile, the partial mobilization continues in Russia. This important move was widely expected in the society and critical for the success of the Russian military campaign in Ukraine if the Russian leadership aims at achieving all the declared goals in this campaign. Nonetheless, it goes not without difficulties as in some cases officials responsible for the partial mobilizations demonstrate obvious signs of incompetence or even a direct sabotage. For example, in one of such cases, mobilized warriors were just moved to almost an empty field and had to wait for notable time without any vital supplies.
Officials responsible for such irresponsible decisions must not avoid punishment. The effectiveness of the Russian leadership in getting rid from conformists and saboteurs in the military system will be an important sign of the posture of the government in the time of the crisis.
Developments of the last days, first of all the partial mobilization launched in Russia together with referendums in liberated territories, demonstrate an apparent shift in the approach of the Russian military political leadership towards the conflict in Ukraine. Before these Moscow was employing a very limited task force and sent lots of clear signals about its readiness for constructive negotiations. Now, with the increase of the military force involved in the conflict, Moscow likely aims for a direct defeat of the Kyiv regime on the battlefield. This does not mean that the Russian diplomacy would reject negotiations. However, terms of these negotiations will be much worse for NATO puppets in Kyiv.
discipline brights by its absence in te russian army, specially among their officers. It looks much more like a bunch of drunk guys instead of a professional army.
the main question was and is still, who is the responsible moron who sended in only 200.000 russian troops agains 700.000 ukros? the actual 300.000 man mobilisation ist over 8 months too late! with these troops from the beginning, whole donbas and odessa would be libereated right now and the whole shit over.
Ukraine continues to push the Orcs back…we will never forget Bucha…
What we won’t forget is the Bucha fabrication you Nazi.
Baghdad Bob propaganda from the Russian side now, the Ukrainians are eating their lunch.
you are eating shit as usual…
Nazis have 5 days to finish eating their lunch, lets say their last supper. After that the Grizzlies will enter refectory and finish eating… them.
Typical of the Kiev nato regime to target Civilians in a convoy leaving the shelling women children and elderly people targeted an murdered by these Criminal’s
NATO puppets in Kiev cannot negociate anything. Because of their Constitution. It is either the complete destruction of Ukropistan state, which is an accident of history, or the defeat of Russian army.
Nope, neither one. There will be an Ukronazi hohola NATO whore there under the Polsky ‘protection’ and the already 4 region lost for Russia.
NS1 and NS2 were terror act against the RF and Germany. Russia, dont be a coward, show some balls to the world. The underwater fiber-optic cable network of the US is waiting.
Oh they absolutely should retaliate with force/sabotage. And if they dont, it will mean that they did it.
kiew and ramstein is waiting for one sarmat.
How come we all knew that partial mobilization was necessary more then 3 months ago but Russian leadership took this long to figure it out? Civilians and soldiers are paying the price for this delay, not the politicians who are actually responsible for it. Now even Nord Stream was sabotaged by American terrorist forces. Ukronazistan’s very existence is an affront to the Russian nation and to the whole of humanity (minus NATO and Israeli fascists who are excluded from humanity for obvious reasons).
please dont be funny. these 300.000 reservists were needed from the beginning, than this whole shit would be finished yet and russian forces would be in odessa now.
It’s obvious the ukrotards narcosoldiers led by foreign mercenaries and jewNATO terrorist organization will do everything possible to gain as much areas as possible till those reinforcements will pour down to front lines. That means 1 month and I’m mostly sure they can’t hold Lyman; not enough forces. Big mistakes of the russian military planners from the beginning. They failed to predict almost all what the anglo-nazi done in banderastan. Lyman imho is the new Stalingrad of the mother Russia. But now it’s much worse. Stalingrad always had a supply route viable across the Volga; heavily bombarded but never cut. Now, the hoholsky whore of the West have all the help needed and the most important the satellite surveillance over troops movements and disposition. They know where to breach the frontlines with very mobile DRG’s and attack the rear supply routes. Again, a big failure of the russian planners who not activated the paramilitary civilian forces, who could cope very well with this threat, destroying all of them. The cause was the fear of the politicians to not giving in to the idiot Navalnyi narrative….. now, too much words….there are only 2 options to not abandon Lyman: 1. Deep aerial dense mining of the front lines around. 2. Tactical nukes. Russian MoD PLEASE consider one of the two and start now !
Ru army should not allow filming or use of cell phones in general. You are going to war not to teenage excursion. This shit is exploited by enemy propaganda, not to mention all phone calls are monitored and tracked by the US.
nice to see the ukro t64 blow up. but is that the state of the art and training of the russian tankers that they approach an opponent at 100m to shoot him down? a t64 has lower fire power, weaker ammo and weaker front armour than a 72, t80 or t90. but as cloaser you come, the smaler this advantage. this is the same tactic like the t34 in ww2 because of the german armor and firepower superiority of the german tanks. but dudes, its not 1945, ist 2022 today! this probably explains part of the massive russian losses of tanks and armored vehicles. a tank is a distance precision weapon and modern tank battles start from far over 3000m+
the main question was and is still, who is the responsible moron who sended in only 200.000 russian troops agains 700.000 ukros? the actual 300.000 man mobilisation ist over 8 months too late! with these troops from the beginning, whole donbas and odessa would be libereated right now and the whole shit over.
Conflict takes a very different aspect from 1st Oct. Ukraine will be a wasteland.
From your mouth to Gods ears lol
The reinforcements seem to have a long way to travel, where are they? Surely Russia was prepared for this scenario, they knew the offensive was coming for weeks
There are no reinforcements, or at least not nearly enough. Newly mobilized troops need weeks, months even, to train and prepare properly, to form new and reorganize existing formations… ukros had months to completely reorganize and re-arm their army. And Russians allowed them to do so.
I’ve been warning about this for months, everyone did. Igor Girkin for example. It was bloody obvious in February that Russia needs more troops. But Kremlin delayed this way too long, waiting for something (fantasy diplomatic solution??) , waging restricted and restrained ‘special operation’ without clear objective or strategy wasting missiles on random targets: one day it’s the railroad network, next day oil depots, next day television towers, next day a bridge, next day electrical grid… but never finishing the job in that area and switching to something else. Ukro air defense hasn’t been neutralized and now they receive modern nato systems, US obviously escalating from sending them old garbage to sending them the best available systems, not even nato countries have them. I have no doubt they will eventually send them modern tanks, long range tactical missiles etc etc. Russian leadership wasted too much time and resources, made too many strategic mistakes…. So yes right now they are losing the war. I hate to say it, I’m pro-Russian and I’m so gutted about all this s**t. Unless a miracle happens Lyman will fall in matter of days, Ukros already crossed Oskol in the north as well, they’ll keep pushing eastwards into LPR. Hopefully the mud season slow them and then Russians will counter attack, but then Ukros will entrench and Russians will have to take the same territory again. We know how difficult it was the first time. Bloodbath will continue on both sides, only scum from Washington wins.
Even if Russians somehow win this war eventually (and it will be extremely difficult and bloody), people in charge must be held accountable for all these mistakes, most of them avoidable and easily predictable. I can’t even imagine what would happen if Russia lose the war.
Be nice if the Russians stopped fucking around. Blow up those damn bridges and stop this madness.
Not impressed with Russian military leadership. Seem to be doing a poor job considering they have air superiority. Something is not right and anyone with a brain can see this. Just like this commander from the Donbass said that there are incompetence and saboteurs in the military. They may be on CIA payroll. Putin must use FSB to monitor these people and make sure they are on his side. This same thing hampered Trump, but he chose a number of idiots and didn’t replace when necessary. Putin cannot make this same mistake. NATO (especially US and England) want to dissolve Russia into fragments and that will be the end of Russia. Wake up!
Despite the fuck ups with mobilization, at least they’re months ahead of NATO, where the recruits must learn about CRT and gender delusion before being allowed on a firing range…if they’re not too strung out on homeless camp drugs…
