⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #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.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Chronicle of the Ukrainian offensive at #Balakleya Sep 6-7 2022⚡️
On 6 September, Ukrainian formations launched an offensive from the direction of #Andreevka against the positions of Russian forces in #Balakleya after a massive artillery preparation. Until about a week ago, it became known that the AFU were forming an attack group in the direction of #Izyum and gathering reserves of personnel and equipment.
The AFU managed to build on their successes and advance in some areas without abandoning their attempts to encircle #Balakleya, but the reserves of the allied forces halted the advance in some areas. The operational objective of the Ukrainian forces is to reach the Kharkov-Izyum highway near #Veseloye and #Kunye to encircle the Russian grouping in #Izyum.
Rybar's team has analysed the course of fighting near #Balakleya over the past two days and presents a detailed summary of events.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ 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.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Kharkov #Izyum Offensive: Situation on the Izyum-Kupyansk section of the front at the End of 9 September 2022⚡️
🔻 #Kupiansk direction:
▪️ By transferring reserves to the #Kupyansk section of the front, the Russian Forces managed to stop the advance of the main AFU forces within a few kilometres of the city limits.
▪️ By the end of the day, the AFU had gained control over the villages of #Chkalovskoye, #Shevchenko, and #Borovskoye and controlled the Chuguyev-Kupyansk highway to #Grushevka, which allowed them to move equipment and artillery systems to the line of contact.
▪️ The Ukrainian command is forming a strike force to storm #Kupiansk near #Grushevka and #Staroverovka. Russian Forces are conducting artillery and missile strikes on the places where the enemy forces are concentrated.
▪️ The AFU shells rear settlements in the liberated areas. The village of Velikiy Burluk (Bolshoy Burluk) was particularly badly hit.
Ukrainian formations will block the Russian Forces' reserves in #Kupyansk and try to bypass the city from the north, and advance towards #Dvurechenskoye.
🔻 #Izium direction:
▪️ From the south of #Izyum, the AFU is conducting an offensive from the direction of #Vernopolya and #Dolina.
▪️ Attempting to advance towards #Gorokhovatka, the AFU mobile groups encountered resistance near the village of #Yasinovatoye.
▪️ Russian Forces' reserves reached the eastern bank of the Oskol River and suppressed attempts by the AFU mobile groups to cross the river.
Apparently, the AFU command will reinforce the mobile units on the western bank of the Oskol with heavy equipment and try to reconnoitre the #Izyum defence from the #Gorokhovatka side.
🔻 #Balakleya direction:
▪️ There are unverified reports that the eastern quarters of #Balakleya are still held by RF Armed Forces units. In the near future, we should expect an attack by the AFU on the villages of #Veseloye and #Kunye.
In the near future, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will attempt an attack on #Liman from the direction of #Raygorodka. The main objective of the Ukrainian command at the site is to reach the #Oskolskoye reservoir and encircle the Russian grouping near #Izyum.
