⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Kharkov direction as of 17.00 on 6 September 2022⚡️
▪️ After several days of artillery preparation, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an attack on #Balakleya, which had been reoccupied in March. The Ukrainian command had been preparing for the offensive for a month and was moving equipment and personnel near to the city daily. The last large convoy passed through #Andreevka, northwest of the city, just yesterday.
▪️ Ukrainian units advanced from the village of #Prishib towards #Verbovka, north of the city. Local sources reported the undermining of bridges over the Balakleyka and Kraynyaya Balakleyka rivers to prevent further AFU advances, with some of the overpasses reportedly already taken out of service in recent days.
▪️ Despite bravura statements by Ukrainian resources, no AFU units have entered #Balakleya. All fighting so far has taken place in the #Verbovka area and the 65th arsenal located there. Russian Forces have sent reinforcements to the town and the surrounding area.
▪️ The Russian air force has attacked the AFU headquarters in #Chuguev, from which the offensive against #Balakleya was directed. The Ukrainian command set up a fake command post in the town as a disguise, but the Russian Forces did not fall for the trick and hit the target.
▪️ At the same time, unconfirmed information has emerged about the advance of Russian troops in the north of Kharkov Region towards the village of #Shestakovo and the capture of the settlements of #Bayrak and #Peremoga.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Izyum Front: Situation near #Balakleya at the end of 6 September 2022⚡️
Today the AFU launched an offensive on #Balakleya from #Andreevka in the west of the city. The offensive began after prolonged artillery preparations on #Balakleya, #Izyum, logistic routes and warehouses of Russian Forces.
Due to its geographical location, without control over #Balakleya it is difficult for the Russian Forces to secure the northwestern flank of the grouping based in #Izyum. Should Russian forces ever want to turn their attention back to #Kharkov itself, there is a convenient route from #Balakleya via #Zmiyov to #Slobodskoye and the industrial districts of the regional centre.
▪️ Ukrainian Forces have entered the village of #Verbovka after carrying out a massive fire attack on mobilised DPR militias occupying defences in the nearby forests.
From there, the only way into the area of the 65th Arsenal and to #Balakleya itself is via the Srednyaya Balakleyka river. The bridge over the river is intact and there is a fight for control of it.
▪️ From #Verbovka, the AFU has achieved successes towards the village of #Yakovenkovo and is trying to advance towards Volokhov Yar and completely block #Balakleya from the north.
The Volokhov Yar - Balakleya road is now under AFU fire control.
▪️ In the south, the bridges over the Balakleyka and Kraynyaya Balakleyka rivers were blown up, so communication with the centre of #Balakleya is now interrupted.
Ukrainian troops have not entered the area of the camp on the west bank of the Balakleyka river north of its tributary (Lyakhovaya). There is also no confirmation of the presence of Russian forces in this area.
▪️ There are reports of Russian Forces advancing south of the village of #Bayrak and extending the zone of control towards #Gusarovka. However, so far there are no facts to confirm this.
Currently #Balakleya is in an operational encirclement and in the fire zone of Ukrainian artillery. All entrances are cut off by fire.

Situation around Balakleya.
(1/2)🔺Eastern Ukraine at the End of 6 Sep. (2/2)🔻
▪️ In the direction of #Izyum, Ukrainian units launched an offensive on #Balakleya and brought the town into an operational encirclement:
➖ Ukrainian troops were able to capture the villages of #Verbovka and #Yakovenkovo northwest of #Balakleya and then attempted to advance towards Volokhov Yar, cutting off the road to Kupyansk, amid battles. The Volokhov Yar - Balakleya road is now under AFU fire control.
➖ The sides are fighting for control of the remaining bridge from #Verbovka to #Balakleya across the Srednyaya Balakleyka river. The bridges to the south over the Balakleyka and the Kraynyaya Balakleyka rivers have been destroyed, cutting off the western and southern parts of #Balakleya from the central part of the city.
➖ #Balakleya is effectively surrounded by Ukrainian forces. All arterial roads leading into the city are cut off by fire.
▪️ In the direction of #Bakhmut (#Artemovsk), the Allied forces were able to advance north of #Gorlovka and finally push the enemy out of #Kodema.
➖ Wagner PMC assault troops have taken control of #Kodema. The liberation of the village will enable them to launch an offensive towards #Zaitsevo and further secure access to #Bakhmut from the south.
➖ Positional fighting continues in #Bakhmut and in #Soledar on the outskirts of the city. The artillery of the Russian Forces is continuously working on the enemy defences.
▪️ In the #Donetsk direction, units of the allied forces were able to advance slightly in the area of the Donetsk Ring Road near #Peski.
➖ The 11th regiment of the DPR People's Militia occupied the Donetsk Seed Station and bridges on the outskirts of #Peski. Fighting for strongholds on the Ring Road between #Peski and #Pervomayskoye has been going on for almost a month.
➖ The capture of the junctions will allow the DPR People's Militia to develop its offensive towards #Pervomayskoye and #Netaylovo, as well as #Vodyanoye and #Opytnoye.
➖ Allied artillery destroyed the headquarters of 21 TRO Battalion of the 56th AFU Brigade.
➖ Ukrainian militants shelled settlements of the #Donetsk agglomeration again, injuring civilians.
▪️ According to preliminary information, in the #Zaporozhye direction, the Russian Forces were able to advance at the junction of Donetsk and Zaporozhye regions. High intensity of mutual shelling persists in the area:
➖ According to some reports, Allied forces have liberated the villages of #Vremevka and #Novopol in the west of the #Donetsk Region, but there is no confirmation of this information.
➖ Ukrainian terrorists have carried out an act of terrorism in #Berdyansk. As a result of a car bomb attack, the commander of the city, Artem Bardin, was injured.
➖ Ukrainian forces have again shelled the area of the #Zaporozhye and #Energodar nuclear power plants. Russian forces responded by shelling enemy positions in #Nikopol and #Marganets.
▪️ In the direction of #KrivoyRog, fighting continues near #Vysokopolye and #Olgino. The Ukrainian militants have not managed to break through the second line of defence of the Russian Forces, but the attempts of the Russians to retake the lost positions have also been unsuccessful.
Russian forces hold defensive lines on the southern outskirts of #Olgino, south of #Vysokopolye and southwest of #Novovoznesenskoye. There is no significant progress on either side.
➖ In the west, Russian Forces are fighting positional battles in the southern part of #Arkhangelskoye village on the right bank of the #Ingulets river.

По Балаклее на утро сообщают о боях в Вербовке и на окраинах Балаклеи, в районе Яковенково и Волохов Яра. Волохов Яр является важным узлом дорог, через который проходят дороги на Изюм и Балаклею.
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Balakleya - Situation in the morning of 7 September⚡️
The night passed relatively quietly. The Russian forces were not yet in a position to assemble a unit here for a counterattack, and the AFU used the time to consolidate the positions they had reached.
By evening, incidentally, they had also reached #Yakovlevka, but were unable to cut off the road from Volokhov Yar to Balakleya.
Today the most important events will probably take place north of #Verbovka. The AFU will try to attack Volokhov Yar, possibly also the area around #Chkalovskoye (although there is a fairly strong Russian fortification there and it will be difficult to take it).
For us, the main thing is to slow down the offensive impulse of the still quite strong enemy grouping and not let them penetrate into important defensive points: Balakleya, the Balakleya-Volokhov Yar route, Volokhov Yar, Chkalovskoye, and to prepare the conditions for a counterattack (as at Davydov Brod).

Балаклея. Обстановка на утро 07.09.22
Ночь прошла относительно спокойно. ВС РФ пока не смогли собрать здесь группировку для контрнаступления, а ВСУ использовали это время для закрепления на достигнутых рубежах.
Кстати к вечеру они также вышли к Яковлевке…

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Izyum front: Situation near #Balakleya at 13:30 on 7 Sep 2022⚡️
▪️ The AFU continue their offensive near #Balakleya. Overnight, Ukrainian units advanced from their positions in #Ivanovka and approached the settlement of Volokhov Yar.
▪️ Information on control of Volokhov Yar varies. There is video of Ukrainian fighters at a crossroads in the centre of the village, but other sources claim that the AFU has not consolidated and has moved further north along the road to Kupyansk. In any case, the settlement is not under the control of Russian forces.
▪️ The AFU have not yet entered #Balakleya itself. A photo with a stele at the entrance has appeared online, but it was taken on the westernmost outskirts in front of the Lageri quarter and #Verbovka village.
▪️ Russian forces are carrying out artillery strikes against advancing Ukrainian troops and reserves, and Russian Air Force planes are also taking fire at the targets. The AFU managed to shoot down a Russian Su-25, the pilot bailed out and was evacuated to the rear.
At the moment, #Balakleya remains operationally encircled. The access roads are being shelled by the enemy to varying degrees
