🇺🇸 Thanks for the post !
Have been tracking all 3 tac phases of UA recapture of Lyman, and based on ground targeting reports (both sides), as well as POC’s on the ground, and NEW known ground tac dynamics, this report is not only correct, but many of the orc fighters are either dead, or fleeing East.
While taking significant daily losses, Russian 8th and 10th Army regulars had actually been trying to flee over the past near month, but also faced potential death from both RU (and UA SF) further East along their last egress route. RUbe ground CDR’s knew they couldn’t hold the critical supply rail head at Lyman, but sacrificed a bunch more regulars trying. In a last ditch effort to not lose every bbn last soldier, the RUbes tried to exfill the remaining RUbe 8th and 10th Army regulars, but could only do it as fast as *recent RUbe cannon fodder could be rounded up across RU and it’s subordinate CIS, thrown on “draft busses”, given a Korean War uniform, and sent to the front. Once dumped in Lyman, this provided the tiny exfill window for the remaining few RUbe 8th and 10th Army regulars to literally run East. Some of the RUbe 10th Army who didn’t make it, had been involved in this AOR for 8 years.
These were/are known elements of the Russian 8th and 10th army, and “Wagner mercs”.
Russian 10th Army regulars had been dug in (literally) for a long time.
Again, RUbe 8th and 10th army regulars, and Wagner group merc’s, have for weeks been getting smashed (very high death counts), have regrouped/consolidated several times, were never able to hold “center defensive” positions, or form meaningful “tac flanks”, and have been trying to flee, but were ordered and waiting for the non-regular/non-trained cannon fodder arrivals from RU and it’s subordinate CIS to infill, so some of the remaining surviving regulars could escape East — так что выжившая армия может попытаться сбежать на восток.
Many of the locals who were forced to fight either fled, were dead months ago, or were sent South.
Based on *Russian fire/targeting reports and poc’s, Ukraine has been predominately fighting Russian regulars on these specific enclave lines (which were a month ago secondary defensive lines, or even regional “aor HQ’s, supply and feeders”).
Russian ground officers have known all along, once these highly defended enclaves and LOC’s fall, UA would more quickly sweep another 15km to 40km both to the North and East (depending on tac set ups with other units), which is precisely why Russian 8th and 10th couldn’t just flee to the East and regroup. RU has been really beat, and lost a lot here. Many of their best trained are dead (including some who had been rotational for 8 years, and Ukraine did this without many of the op tools we would have used.
UA is really putting up a fight. 🇺🇦
As well, even in these area’s, as UA retakes RUbe occupier territory, they are finding many dead and tortured civilian locals, with some of the locals showing them where the bodies are. Much more (including from combined EU and Asain international forensic teams) will come out on this going forward.
But UA knows well Russia is not done, and that this fight may well include Russian nukes, will get significantly worse, and there is no quitting.

“its a slaughter”
8:19 am, October 1st, Eastern Ukraine
Only a few mins here. Ran out of ammo and backed off south. Am a bit traumatized and need some sleep. I have no idea what is going on except we engaged a lot of elements headed to Kreminna. They have to be coming from Lyman and Zarichne. Right now we are in a safe area, it seems.
I have never seen so many dead, soon to be dead, and wounded people in my life. People begging for help, but no way we can help them. We have little to help them with, a small medical kit each, no morphine, and no time to render any kind of useful aid. No idea if they will live or die. You just keep moving.
One guy had obviously stepped on a mine by the side of the road. One leg was gone at mid-thigh, the other one was broken lower down and his foot was backward. He was trying to crawl somewhere on one good knee, trailing flowing blood out of a busted artery. Unless he got help quick, he was gone. He was talking calmly in Russian, saying over-and-over, “I will be home soon mother.”
