Ukrainian forces liberated Lyman on October 1. Eastern Ukraine: (Vovchansk-Kupyansk-Izyum-Lyman Line) The Russian information space – Kremlin propagandists, pundits, and milbloggers – registered the defeat as the result of the Russian military command’s failure to send reinforcements in a timely manner, while openly criticizing the repeated bureaucratic failures of mobilization. Ramzan Kadyrov said in a message on Telegram addressing Russia’s loss of its stronghold: “In my personal opinion, more drastic measures should be taken, right up to the declaration of martial law in the border areas and the use of low-yield nuclear weapons.” The head of Russia’s region of Chechnya said Moscow should consider using a low-yield nuclear weapon in Ukraine after its battlefield defeat in Lyman.

The British prime minster, Liz Truss, has said the series of explosions that severely damaged Russia’s gas pipelines were an act of sabotage. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline is no longer leaking under the Baltic Sea because an equilibrium has been reached between the gas and water pressure, pipeline spokesman Ulrich Lissek told AFP. Lambrecht visited the southern port city of Odesa on Saturday and met her Ukrainian counterpart, Oleksii Reznikov, the German defence ministry said. Germany’s defence minister, Christine Lambrecht, made a surprise visit to Ukraine – her first since Russia’s invasion in February – as Kyiv urged Berlin to send it battle tanks. The defeat is an embarrassment for Vladimir Putin, who declared on Friday that the city – in the Donetsk region – was Russia’s “for ever”. They had been “withdrawn to more advantageous lines”, the ministry said, after their encirclement by Ukrainian forces. Russia’s ministry of defence admitted its soldiers had retreated. Russia suffered a humiliating military defeat on Saturday when Ukrainian troops liberated the key eastern city of Lyman, with videos showing them raising a national flag and performing a victory dance. State actors in the Baltic pipeline sabotage seem the likely suspects to most US analysts, It’s Russia because the attack on an inactive line isn’t costly and could be profitable in terms of current fossil fuel deliveries using alternative means. More likely it’s a message to demonstrate the vulnerability of other pipelines in the region like the seven in Norway. Ukraine’s cancelled conscription and postponed demobilization suggest that it mat be contrasting its own mobilization with Russia’s troubles.
