When you add this to the factor of those reservists who do get mobilized, the domestic economic impact of less labor availability and an accelerating brain drain is likely to be increasingly significant.

08:03 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) suggests that the Liman cauldron will have serious consequences for the Russian group in the north of the Donetsk and west of the Luhansk regions and may enable Ukrainian troops to threaten Russian positions along the western border of the Lugansk region and in the Severodonetsk-Lysichansk sector.
Analysts also state that the Russian Defense Ministry does not respond to the current losses of the Russians near Liman and is not preparing for a collapse in this sector of the front, which, in all likelihood, will further reduce the already low morale of the Russians. In addition, Ukraine's future successes in critical areas of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions could drive further wedges between Russian nationalists and the military leadership, as well as between Russian troops and their commanders.
ISW admits that the Kremlin may temporarily postpone the annexation of the occupied territories in order to better prepare the Russian information space and administrative organization, although September 30 remains the most likely date for the announcement of the annexation.
According to ISW, the Russian authorities continue to send newly mobilized and undertrained recruits to reinforce the highly degraded remnants of various units, including units previously considered Russia's main fighting force. For example, until February 24, the 1st Guards Tank Army was considered the main mechanized force of Russia, and the fact that its elements are reinforced by poorly disciplined, untrained people indicates that even the most elite Russian units have suffered significant losses in Ukraine, and therefore degrade even more. . According to experts, the infusion of new mobilized forces into elements of the 1st Guards Tank Army is unlikely to add decisive combat power to these units.
07:47 Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces repelled enemy attacks in the areas of the settlements of Zaitsevo, Mayorsk, Zheleznoye, Bakhmutskoye, Odradovka, Nikolaevka Second, Ozeryanovka, Pervomayskoye, Pobeda, Novomikhailovka, Pavlovka and Bezymyannoye, the General Staff said in the morning report .
Also, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that about 400 prisoners arrived at the training center in the Rostov region, their training will last until September 30. In addition, the enemy continues to send newly mobilized, low-skilled personnel to the areas of combat operations. So, on September 26, seven tanks left in the Liman of the Donetsk region, two of which got into an accident on the way. The formed crews also did not undergo proper fire training with the use of standard tank weapons.
It is known about the dispatch on September 27 from Sevastopol to the Kherson region of 2000 mobilized from the Crimea. In addition, the military commissars in the Crimea received an order to prioritize the conscription of the Crimean Tatars and send them to combat units performing tasks in areas of the most intense hostilities. Thus, on September 26 alone, 21 Crimean Tatars were mobilized in the Saki region alone.
07:18 The Russians fired rockets at residential areas of the Dnieper at night. It is known about three dead, among them one child, five more were injured, including a 12-year-old child.

00:36 Russian media write about explosions in Kherson, according to their version, "presumably, air defense is working."
00:11 Danilov is convinced that Russia will not use strategic nuclear weapons against Ukraine: “Putin will definitely not use strategic nuclear weapons.
