⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Balakleya - Kotsnews report⚡️
From the ground it is reported that the enemy, in order not to get bogged down in Volokhov Yar (the junction from which the two arrows come), tried to jerk along the highway towards #Izyum, but got hit in the neck.
Part of the AFU units are trying to develop an offensive towards #Shevchenkovo, from which the highway leads to #Kupyansk. Our Izyum grouping's supply line runs through it.
Our aviation and artillery are working on the Khokhlyas (Ukrainians). Our reserves are on the march to the battle.

С мест сообщают, что противник, чтобы не увязнуть в Волоховом Яру (перекресток, из которого идут две стрелки), попытался дернуться по трассе в сторону Изюма, но получил по шее.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Kharkov direction: Situation as of 18.00 on 7 September 2022⚡️
▪️ The AFU are trying to develop an offensive along the Balakleya-Kupyansk highway. In the morning, information emerged about advanced Ukrainian units reaching #Semyonovka and advancing further towards the village of #Shevchenkovo.
▪️ The hastily deployed reserves of the Russian Forces entered the battle, repelled the attacks and prevented the capture of #Shevchenkovo by the enemy. The Ukrainian command is moving reinforcements and plans to resume attacks to take control of the road network north of #Balakleya and create a bridgehead for an offensive against #Kupyansk.
▪️ South of #Balakleya, units of the 93rd Brigade and the 1st Brigade of the AFU Special Forces have taken control of the settlements of #Bayrak and Krasnyaya Gusarovka. They will soon launch an attack on #Zaliman to the east.
▪️ In the rear, Ukrainian DRGs have become more active and have conducted diversionary manoeuvres near #Volchansk for several days in a row. The AFU has also launched missile strikes on #Kupyansk and #Izyum. The Russian Air Force is in the air carrying out intensive missile and bombing attacks against the advancing enemy forces.
In the near future, the Ukrainian command will launch an attack in the direction of #Balakleya to reach the village of #Kunye. There is a road junction through which Russian Forces supply #Izyum.
Control of the village will allow to reach the rear of the Russian group, which is located near Slavyansk. The AFU are massing their forces in #Andreevka and moving reinforcements from around Chuguyev and Kharkov.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Donbass offensive: Situation in Eastern #Ukraine at the end of 7 September 2022⚡️
▪️ Russian artillery has shelled targets in the village of Gay in the #Chernigov Region and in the villages of Volfino, Manukhovka, Stukalovka, Khodino and Volkovka in the #Sumy Region.
▪️ In the direction of #Kharkov, Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups are probing the defences of Russian units in the north of the region:
➖ AFU DRGs have carried out several sabotage attacks near #Volchansk on the border of the Kharkov region with Russia.
➖ Russian forces have carried out several missile attacks against AFU facilities in #Nemyshlyansky district of Kharkov.
▪️ In the direction of #Izyum, Ukrainian formations tried to build on their success at #Balakleya and encircle the city in several directions:
➖ Allied reserves, which had arrived in the meantime, were able to repel enemy attacks at #Shevchenkovo, north of #Balakleya. At the same time, the enemy moved reinforcements into the area in the hope of gaining control of important traffic arteries and forming a bridgehead for a further offensive against #Kupyansk.
➖ South of #Balakleya, the 93rd Brigade and a brigade of AFU Special Forces took control of #Bayrak and Krasnyaya Gusarovka, cutting off the city from the south. The next target of the Ukrainian Forces is likely to be #Zaliman in the east of the city.
➖ The enemy's main goal at the moment is to reach the villages of #Veseloye and #Kunye, which will cut off supplies to the Russian Forces' grouping in #Izyum.
➖ Ukrainian Forces are also concentrating reserves in the #Dolina area to hit the grouping in #Izyum from the south.
▪️ In the direction of #Bakhmut (#Artemovsk), the Allied forces are engaged in positional fighting on the outskirts of #Bakhmut and #Soledar.
▪️ In the direction of #Donetsk, the sides are fighting positional battles in the suburbs of Donetsk near #Pervomayskoye and in the outskirts of #Ugledar. Ukrainian militants, in turn, continued shelling the DPR capital and surrounding settlements, with civilian casualties.
▪️ In the #Zaporozhye region, the sides continue artillery duels across the Dnipro River. Russian Forces retaliate against enemy positions in #Nikopol and #Marganets, from where #Energodar and the #Zaporozhye NPP are shelled.
▪️ On the direction of #KrivoyRog, the situation remains unchanged. Russian units hold defensive positions on the southern outskirts of #Arkhangelskoye and #Olgino and south of #Vysokopolye. #Novovoznesenskoye remains under the control of the Ukrainian Forces.

Eastern Ukraine at the end of 7 September 2022
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Kharkov direction at 13.30 on 8 Sep 2022⚡️
The situation near #Balakleya remains difficult. Nevertheless, the enemy has not yet succeeded in fully mastering the road network to the north and west of the city, cutting off the supply of the Russian grouping near #Izyum.
▪️ The AFU is trying to storm the village of #Shevchenkovo on the Balakleya-Kupyansk trunk road. The deployed reserves of the Russian Armed Forces have so far repelled the Ukrainian attacks on the village. The enemy is not trying to launch an offensive to the north.
▪️ #Balakleya remains operationally encircled and all access roads are shot. However, the city remains under the control of Russian forces: according to some sources, they have even managed to bring reinforcements there. There is also information about the successful withdrawal of SOBR units from the encirclement.
▪️ Throughout the night, the Russian Air Force operated in the air, carrying out intensive missile and bomb attacks on the advancing AFU units and their reserves. The artillery of the Russian forces, including heavy TOS-1A flame-thrower systems, also continuously struck targets. These measures partially contained the enemy, causing casualties and slowing the pace of advance.
The Ukrainian command's closest objective is to reach the villages of #Veseloye and #Kunye and further to the Oskolskoye water reservoir. This would practically encircle the Russian Forces grouping near #Izyum, so the AFU will throw all forces to achieve the plan in the near future.
If this does not succeed, the fighting will turn into positional fighting and the Russian forces will be able to use local superiority in artillery and aviation to inflict heavy losses on the enemy.
