From ISW:.
Russian forces continued to withdraw from positions around Lyman on September 30 as Ukrainian forces continued to envelop Russian soldiers in the location. The Donetsk Peoples Republic (DNR) authorities and Russian war reporters stated that Russian forces still control Lyman but have actually withdrawn from their positions in Drobysheve (around 6km northwest of Lyman) and Yampil (about 13km southeast of Lyman). Russian sources declared that Russian forces still manage one road from Lyman to Torske, while Ukrainian forces have actually cut off the Drobysheve-Torske road in the Stavky area.
I am curious how JohnH now assesses the military balance, a month after his initial uncertainty relating to the Ukrainian offensive.
