Oct 06,2022:Russia’s mobilisation of 200,000 conscripts seems to have had no impact during the 32nd week of the war, as Ukrainian forces recapture more territory in the east and south of the country.
On September 30, Ukrainian forces advancing from Izyum surrounded Lyman in the eastern Donetsk region and recaptured the town the following day. The spectacular encirclement of the strategic town and an expanse of surrounding territory trapped Russian personnel trying to flee.
Ukraine’s general staff said its forces discovered a convoy of civilian cars near Shchastya with 200 Russian soldiers from the Second Army Corps in it, escaping Lyman.
“There has been a decrease in the level of moral and psychological state of enemy personnel, leading to numerous instances of soldiers abandoning their positions,” said the general staff.
The fall of Lyman came on the very day Russia fielded new troops from its September 21 compulsory mobilisation.
In an address to the Ukrainian people on October 3, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said these Russian reinforcements were already being killed.
