Yuri Podolyaka's Front Report for Oct 1st, 2022

Review of last two days: Krasni Liman, after 3 weeks of stubborn defence causing very heavy losses on the enemy, have been left by the Russian troops. Within the time it has left until the new contigents of the Russian Army reach the front lines, the enemy probably will try to exploit its advantage and undertake another offensive operation towards Svatovo that may fall as well. After that, any further offensive by the AFU will be hardly if at all possible.

Yuri concurs with the opinion expressed by Col. Khodakovsky, that the 3-week heroic defense of Liman bogged down the enemy offensive, and bought time the rest of the Army, making the enemy spend their best troops and reserves.

Also, Yuri notes the improvement in the Russian MoD - unusually, they recognized the loss of Liman the very day it happened, and hopes that the improvements there won't be limited to their deficient PR, very much criticized by Yuri and many other observers.
