ISW: Russian information space fundamentally changes after defeat in Kharkiv Oblast, Lyman

October 3, 2022 

The Institute for the Study of War said in its latest assessment that Russia’s loss of Donetsk Oblast’s Lyman, combined with the Kremlin’s failure to conduct partial mobilization effectively is “fundamentally changing the Russian information space.” 

Experts stress that the Kremlin-sponsored media and Russian military bloggers are criticizing the bureaucratic failures of the partial mobilization and attributing the defeat around Lyman and Kharkiv Oblast to Russian military failures to properly supply and reinforce Russian forces in northern Donbas. 

“Some guests on heavily-edited Kremlin television programs that aired on Oct. 1 even criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to annex four Ukrainian oblasts before securing their administrative borders or even the frontline, expressing doubts about Russia’s ability ever to occupy the entirety of these territories,” the ISW said.

  1. “Some guests on heavily-edited Kremlin television programs that aired on Oct. 1 even criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to annex four Ukrainian oblasts before securing their administrative borders or even the frontline, expressing doubts about Russia’s ability ever to occupy the entirety of these territories,”

    Mafia land is the only country in history that annexed areas it’s not in full control of and is even being pushed out. No amount of lying can cover up this ludicrousness.

  2. I saw the video were the Russian was a guest on a propaganda channel, and he said “how can we annex parts of a country we don’t even control?”

    I don’t know if he made it through the night, or fell off his balcony yet.

    • He’s not the only one to ask this question. So, it might be many more who will fall from balconies and windows.
