[Breitbart] Ukraine is reportedly on the precipice of a major victory, with its counter-offensive around the eastern city of Kharkiv (Kharkov) unexpectedly putting the Russian army on the back foot.
According to British intelligence, Russian forces appear to have been "taken by surprise" by the Ukrainians, who have reportedly advanced "up to 50 kilometres (31 miles) into previously Russian-held territory on a narrow front."
A Saturday morning intelligence briefing said that the Kharkiv front was only "lightly held" by Russian forces which had moved elsewhere, apparently under the assumption that Kharkiv would not be the focus of the Ukrainian counter-offensive.
To make matters worse for the Russians, a large force, perhaps in the thousands, of soldiers, has become "increasingly isolated" around the city of Izium (Izyum), leaving them potentially vulnerable to being captured by Ukraine.
While the Kremlin has been quiet about the apparent Ukrainian gains, former FSB intelligence officer and military leader Igor Girkin said that Russia only has one or two days to mount a counter-attack at Izium or they could be forced to flee.
Girkin, who played a key role in the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea, reportedly wrote on his Telegram account: "The question of the time of the counter-attack is very acute: if the enemy manages to gain a foothold in the positions reached, pull up artillery and air defence, then it will be extremely difficult for our units to throw him back .... if at all (given the extremely low staffing, especially infantry)."
Should the thousands of troops actually be fully encircled and captured by the Ukrainians, it would represent one of the largest battlefield defeats for the Russians since the Second World War.

Some of the fronts in this war ('special operation' my posterior!) seem to resemble the confused battles of WW2 African Desert Campaign: a few fortified bastions and a lot of terrain constantly changing hands because there is more real estate than troops to hold it ...and supply line issues. Russia took it and Ukraine took it back and tomorrow...?

According to https://liveuamap.com/ the Russians have withdrawn to the east of Oskil/Oskol river all the way to the border. That includes withdrawing from the north of Kharkiv. That should stop the artillery attacks in Kharkiv though the larger MLRS can still reach it.
Militaryland as of late on 10 Sept
Ukrainian troops entered Kupyansk and reached the city center. The western part of the town is under Ukrainian control, Russian forces remains in control of the eastern part.
Elements of Ukrainian 25th Airborne Brigade reached the northern outskirts of Izium in the morning and entered the town. Russian forces are retreating across the Oskil river, abandoning their positions and equipment. However, there is currently no evidence that Ukrainian forces fully liberated Izium, not yet.

Russia, started moving forces out of Kharkiv 8 days ago. Yes, before the offensive. Ukraine didn’t get success, they took mostly deserted outposts with roughly the same quantity of forces deployed in the south, that was defeated easily.
Why would Russia hand Ukraine a victory? Because they had to. The largest attack is yet to come, and it is aimed at Mariupol. Ukraine won’t push past the river in the north, and if they try they’ll be decimated.
Attacks on energy are to depower the train lines from Kharkiv, so all those forces and equipment can’t be transferred quickly to the Mariupol front. We know this is definitely happening due to large concentrations of forces, and Ukraine starting a demining process. Russia is now systematically destroying train loads of tanks trapped on depowered trains.
The grand battle will happen in the next 48 hours.
Since the counter offensive few day ago began, Ukraine has over 35,000 casualties, with half of those deaths. Most of the injured will die, or never return to battle. All most all casualties are the results of airstrikes or artillery.

[Korrespondent] 23:27 Zelensky said at the annual meeting of the Yalta European Strategy (YES) in Kiev that 90 days of the upcoming winter will decide more than 30 years of Ukraine's independence and than all the years of the EU's existence: "This is the most difficult winter for the whole world ... Russia is doing everything to break the resistance of Ukraine, the resistance of Europe and the resistance of the world in 90 days this winter. This is what Russia hopes for, this is its last argument ... Winter will determine our future."
The president also stressed that the winter period could be a turning point in the liberation of Ukrainian territories, but for this the army needs a systematic supply of the necessary types of weapons.
In addition, Zelensky said that at present, no negotiations with the Russian Federation on the end of the war are possible, since the Russian side cannot formulate any adequate positions.
23:03 Zelensky said that the soldiers of the 113th separate territorial defense brigade had liberated Vasilenkovo and Artemovka, Kharkiv region.
22:05 The mayor of Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, Ruslan Trebushkin, reported explosions in the city.
21:57 Yermak held a meeting with British parliamentarians in Kiev. Among the most important topics are security guarantees for Ukraine, interaction with Britain, as well as the possibility of coordination in regions such as Latin America, in order to further expand the anti-war coalition.
21:55 Zelensky said that, in accordance with the agreements with the head of the Polish government, he held a meeting on energy cooperation with Poland. In particular, he instructed to speed up the reconstruction of the power transmission line from the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant to the Polish city of Rzeszow, which should be completed by December 8. He also instructed the Cabinet of Ministers to work out the possibility of urgent deliveries of 100,000 tons of thermal coal to Poland.
21:49 Zelensky said that today he held a meeting of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief: "There were reports on the situation on the front line from the commanders of the operational areas. We made the necessary decisions. We discussed issues of providing our military. We heard the report of Defense Minister Reznikov on the results of the meeting in the Ramstein format."
21:44 Zelensky, in an evening video message, said that about 2,000 km of Ukrainian territory had already been liberated since the beginning of September: "The Russian army these days is demonstrating the best it can, showing its back. And, in the end, it's a good choice for them to run There is no and never will be a place for occupiers in Ukraine."
The President thanked the fighters of the 15th Slavic Regiment of the National Guard, who distinguished themselves in the Kharkiv direction; soldiers of the 214th separate rifle battalion, who, together with the units of the Main Intelligence Directorate, the MTR, the National Guard special forces and the police, returned full control to Balakleya.
20:50 Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar urged Ukrainians not to rush to publish optimistic reports about the alleged "liberation" of a particular settlement: "Unfortunately, now a lot of information is being circulated on the networks about the allegedly liberated settlements, which is not true. Among so to speak "liberated" in your posts there are settlements that are only partially controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and there are battles, and there are even those whose release is not planned for the next few days."
It is possible to say that the settlement has come under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine only when it has been cleared and stabilization measures have been taken by law enforcement agencies. “That is, if our troops physically entered a settlement, this does not automatically mean that we control it. There may still be battles and many special measures to liberate it,” Maliar stressed.
She cited Balakleya as an example: "A few days ago there was a message that the troops had entered the city. Today we finally established control in the city, took all the necessary measures and raised the flag - which was also reported on the resources of the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine." The Deputy Minister urged to read only official sources - the Office of the President, the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense.
20:07 The SBI detained the head of the occupation "police" of Balakleya. The traitor was one of the leaders of the Balakliya police, and when the invaders came, he voluntarily agreed to cooperate with them, for which he received the position of "head" of the occupation site. After the Ukrainian Armed Forces drove the Russians out of the city, the traitor tried to escape to the "LPR", but did not have time - he was detained in Kupyansk.
19:34 Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov announced the shelling of the Kholodnogorsk district of the city, as a result of which one person died and two were injured. Residential buildings and administrative and industrial premises were damaged.
19:21 The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue offensive operations in the Kharkiv and Yuzhnobuzh directions and liberated a number of settlements, but for security reasons of the Ukrainian military, "official information will be provided later," the General Staff said in an evening summary .
18:48 Zelensky said that he had another conversation with Macron: "I informed my colleague about the course of hostilities. He raised the issue of a visa ban for Russians. We devoted a lot of time to the critical situation at the ZNPP. Our position: the only way to protect Europe from a nuclear catastrophe is to demilitarize the plant."
18:22 At night, the partisans raised the Ukrainian flag over the Kremennaya Luhansk region. Meanwhile, Russians and collaborators are fleeing en masse from the Luhansk region, said the head of the OVA Serhiy Gaidai.
18:19 Fighting is going on on the outskirts of Liman, Alexander Zhuravlev, mayor of the city, told Suspilny: "The Russian military is still resisting. We don't have our flag yet. We have to wait a bit."
18:15 German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock visited Bolshaya Dymerka near Kiev and promised Ukraine further assistance with mine clearance: "What I see here is more than terrible. It is obvious that not only anti-tank, but also anti-personnel mines were specially laid here."
17:40 Governor of the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Gladkov announced the difficult situation with refugees on the border with Ukraine. He confirmed that a large number of cars had accumulated at the checkpoint in the village of Logachevka, but assured that mobile food points were deployed, food and water delivery, and heating points were organized. All comers are promised to be delivered to a temporary accommodation center for citizens.
17:18 The Ukrainian military will be trained in Spain, writes El Mundo. According to the publication, the training center will operate in Zaragoza, where about 600 Ukrainian soldiers have already arrived for treatment and recovery. The training program includes training in the use of tanks and missile systems, as well as military medicine and sapper work. During the training, weapons and equipment will be used, which will then be used by the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield, as well as simulators and vehicles of the Spanish army.
17:11 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that "in order to achieve the stated goals of the NMD to liberate Donbass, a decision was made to regroup the Russian troops stationed in the Balakleya and Izyum regions to step up efforts in the Donetsk direction." The department also said that within three days "an operation was carried out to curtail and transfer the Izyum-Balakley group of troops to the territory of the "DPR", a number of distraction and demonstration activities were carried out with the designation of the real actions of the troops."
16:55 The Ukrainian military approached the outskirts of Lisichansk, said the head of the Lugansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai.
16:31 German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock, who visited Kiev today, said that with her visit she wants to send a signal against war weariness in German society: "It is clear to me that Putin expects us to get tired of sympathizing with the suffering of Ukraine. He believes that can split our society with lies and blackmail us with energy supplies, and that he can rob us of the energy to defend ourselves against this brutal attack on all of our values." According to the minister, this plan of the Russian president will not work, "because all of Europe knows that Ukraine is protecting our world order."
16:20 Zelensky said that he had held a meeting with the Minister of Internal Affairs Denis Monastyrsky and the head of the National Police Igor Klymenko regarding "volunteers"-fraudsters: "The contribution of our volunteers to the victory of Ukraine is huge. But, unfortunately, facts about dishonest activities also emerge. One one of these is the case of selling cars for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which has become public these days. Making money on our defenders is unacceptable. This is a crime not only from the point of view of the law, but also from the point of view of human conscience. Fraudsters and thieves cannot be volunteers."
15:07 Reznikov said that at the Ramstein-5 meeting he asked partners to consider the possibility of deploying training programs for the Ukrainian military in countries other than the UK, where such exercises are already taking place. This will ensure the scaling of the training process, Ukraine will be able to get more trained troops in a short time, the minister explained.
"In the context of long-term support, the task of training Ukrainian fighters has been raised to a qualitatively higher level. The range of our needs is wide - from obtaining individual skills to training in battalions, as well as training brigade headquarters," the minister wrote.
Reznikov also said that he was "very pleasantly surprised by Slovenia, which offered really powerful assistance." According to the minister, this will be a real reinforcement on the battlefield "at the exact moment when it is needed."
14:25 The Armed Forces of Ukraine have advanced several tens of kilometers in the Kherson region, said the speaker of the OK Pivden Natalya Gumenyuk: "There is an advance of our troops along the southern front line in different sections from two to several tens of kilometers. Soon we will definitely inform those settlements that joyfully meet our fighters."
12:30 Since the beginning of martial law, more than 8,000 men have tried to illegally cross the border and leave Ukraine, the State Border Service said. Since February 24, there have been 245 unsuccessful attempts to bribe border guards in the amount of more than 3.8 million hryvnias.
12:24 The head of the Kharkiv OVA Oleg Sinegubov, together with the military, led by the command of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky, raised the Ukrainian flag in Balakliya.

There was a fire in warehouses and industrial buildings, people were not injured. The head of the regional council, Nikolai Lukashuk, said that the enemy was hitting with obsolete Kh-59 cruise missiles.
10:37 In the Kharkiv region, in addition to the shelling of the regional center, as a result of which 14 people were injured yesterday, the enemy fired at the liberated Balakliya, five people were hospitalized in the Izyum district, another person was wounded in the Kharkiv district, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, said.

10:28 British intelligence writes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine took Russian troops by surprise in the south of the Kharkiv region, where the Ukrainian offensive is now underway. The sector was weakly held, analysts said, and Ukrainian forces captured or surrounded several towns. Now Russian forces around Izyum are likely to become increasingly isolated. Ukrainian forces are now threatening the city of Kupyansk - its capture will be a serious blow to Russia, because it is in the way of supplying the front line in the Donbass.
As Ukrainian operations also continue near Kherson, the Russian defensive front is under pressure on both the northern and southern flanks, intelligence notes.
09:52 Head of the US State Department Sanctions Coordination Office Jim O'Brien explained why Washington does not want to recognize the Russian Federation as a sponsor of terrorism: "All the labels that they talk about distract from the essence. As a result, Russia will come out of this war, having suffered a strategic defeat".
09:49 Vitaly Ganchev, "head of the VGA" of the occupied Kharkiv region, called on local residents to evacuate to Russia due to "constant shelling."
09:38 Photos of the military with the flag of Ukraine in the liberated Kupyansk appear on Ukrainian telegram channels. One of the pictures was posted by the adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Petr Andryushchenko. According to ISW, geolocation in the images confirms that Ukrainian forces approached the southern outskirts of Kupyansk as of September 9.
08:40 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has calculated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have recaptured about 2,500 square meters. km in the Kharkiv region during the counteroffensive as of September 9. Analysts say Ukrainian forces could destroy Russian positions around Izyum if they cut Russian land lines north and south of the city. If the Ukrainians manage to cut off Russian land lines, then they will have the opportunity to create a pocket around Izyum and bring down most of the Russian positions in northeastern Ukraine.
The Kremlin is shifting resources to the Kharkiv-Izyum line, but refuses to speak publicly about Ukraine's progress in the Kharkiv region. The counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region continues simultaneously with operations on the Kharkiv-Izyum line. Ukrainian forces continue to attack Russian pontoon and ferry crossings in the south on a daily basis, but maintain a strict operational silence that may look like Ukrainian forces are not advancing.
08:04 The Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully repelled the attacks of Russian invaders in the areas of the settlements of Zaitsevo, Veselaya Dolina, Soledar, Bakhmut and Pervomayskoye. In the meantime, a Kadyrov unit of up to 1,300 people arrived in the occupied territory of the Kherson region, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports in the morning report .

Apparently, at the current stage, it is not possible to keep the logistics to Izyum, so the choice was made in favor of keeping the troops in order to avoid the boiler.
11:42 Russian Armed Forces are reporting missile strikes in the Poltava region. There are several arrivals.
11:35 The Armed Forces of Ukraine set up a graveyard of themselves and their equipment in the gut in the Kherson-Nikolaev direction, today the pilots finished off the survivors there, this is good, against the backdrop of news from the Kharkiv region.
11:20 The enemy entered Kupyansk, the RF Armed Forces fortified beyond the Oskol River. Balakalei is still not under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there are fights. The divisions of the Russian Guard and the Defense Ministry entered the battle in the Izyumen direction.
11:02 We have to admit that it was not possible to contain the enemy near Kupyansk. Together with the reserves, the detached units take up defense along the eastern bank of the Oskol. Things are also unimportant in Izyum - military correspondent Aleksandr Kots.
10:00 Our army leaves for the Oskol River to take up defense there. I support this decision. Yesterday Vladlen Tatarsky said in his evening edition that this decision would be the most correct from the point of view of military art.
To maintain a foothold on the right bank, in the face of overwhelming numerical superiority of the enemy at any cost, introducing reserves in a dosed way, I consider it pointless. We do not have as many lives of soldiers, unlike the Ukrainians.
It's a tough decision, but overall I think it's the right one. Now the task is to competently withdraw the troops across the river, gain a foothold and prevent the Izyum group from being surrounded. Once again, take off your rose-colored glasses. Not only Nazi Ukraine is fighting against us. We are again at war with the collective West - NATO military and a large number of foreign mercenaries are participating in the offensive on the Kharkov front.
09:30 Spain will soon begin training Ukrainian troops on its territory - El Mundo. The publication notes that Ukrainian soldiers will be taught to use tanks and missile systems.
09:10 AM Advance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv direction of the battle chronicle on September 9, 2022:
The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue their offensive in the Kharkiv region for the fourth day. The immediate goals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remained the same - to occupy Kupyansk and blockade Izyum.
Shevchenkovo came under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian DRGs operate on the western outskirts of Kupyansk. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have not yet entered the settlement itself.
Ukrainian artillery strikes at the liberated territories on the left bank of the Oskol. The bridge in Kupyansk was damaged.
Reinforcements of the RF Armed Forces are arriving at Kupyansk: heavy transport helicopters Mi-26 are used for their transfer.
The fate of Balakliya remains unclear to the end: if the center of the city is clearly under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then shooting is still heard in the eastern outskirts. The state of the front section up to Savintsy is also unknown.
08:13 On September 5, during the "liberation campaign" against Kherson, the commander of a mechanized company of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Captain Eduard Kamardin, was disposed of by the Russian military.
08:05 The head of the CAA of the Kharkiv region Vitaly Ganchev called on the population of the region to evacuate to Russia. The call is addressed to residents who are directly in the combat zone.
08:04 The Kyiv regime has stopped the flow of energy from the ZNPP to the territory controlled by Ukraine, the administration reported.

We do not have as many lives of soldiers, unlike the Ukrainians.
Is this really a claim the Ukrainian military is larger than the Russian?

I don't know about numbers, but Chinese people have taken to ridiculing Russia. When you look this pitiful and weak, you are not going to hold that colonial nation together.
#3
This MIGHT end up being the best option Putin has if he isn't overthrown and executed. Convince Russians that NATO essentially invaded Ukraine and is beating the Russki Army.
Whatever it takes, Putin needs to get his Army back into Russia asap, send back all the kidnapped children and pay reparations for what he has done:
#6
This may be bs, it may be valid and it has the ring of truth to it. Kherson area of ops for the Russians is now impossible due to logistics and the Chechens have been used before as "morale muscle" by the Russian Army.
#7
Why did they fire him for his brilliant plan of drawing the Ukrainians into a pocket?

Ukrainian General Staff: The liberation of the territory from Russian troops continues in the Kherson region. The Russian army withdrew from its positions in some settlements.Also, according to the General Staff, the Russian occupiers are leaving Svatove in Luhansk region. The same is happening in the Kharkiv direction.
The Russians withdrawing from Svatove is interesting. It was a Russian rallying point for any counter attack to Kupyansk and Izyum. Are the Russians planning to withdraw from western and northern Lughansk oblast?

I also remember that your grandfather was a royal official. And he was saved from absolutely real repressions in Soviet Azerbaijan with the help of his old acquaintance, the famous Stalinist Prosecutor General Vyshinsky - such an interesting detail. And this tsarist official, an officer, was a Pole. Vyshinsky was also a Pole. In 1975 you graduated from the Faculty of History of the Azerbaijan State University.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
Kupyansk is partially abandoned, the right bank under the Nazis. Our army goes beyond the Oskol River to take up defense there.
Now the task is competently, to gain a foothold and prevent the Izyum grouping from being surrounded.
Once again, take off your rose-colored glasses. Not only Nazi Ukraine is fighting against the RF Armed Forces. Now there is a war with the collective West, NATO - NATO military and a large number of foreign mercenaries are participating in military operations in the Kharkiv direction, financing, provision, supply, weapons, including the most modern, intelligence, including space - all this is NATO.
The West managed to realize its eternal cherished dream, the historical fix idea, to make anti-Russia out of Russians, Ukrainians in Ukraine, to make a Bandera-Nazi state in Ukraine. And use the citizens of this country as cannon fodder in the war with the Russians.
[Chernovec] Balakleya, Kupyansk, the population of these towns is more than 20 thousand people, perhaps Izm, more than 40 thousand, in the sum of one hundred thousand Berdyansk.
Although these towns are our people. Which are cleaned by the Armed Forces.
But in terms of scale, the two settlements still do not stand next to the liberated Severodonetsk, Lisichansk, Mariupol, Kherson ...
Fortunately, the loss in manpower of the RF Armed Forces is small, more had to retreat. Approximately one percent of the territory previously liberated from Bandero-fascists was lost.
But right now, the descendants of the ancient Sumerians will do their best to inflate the media effect of their promotion.
Germany has already said that it will give the Leopards to the Ukrainians. Now a new weapon will go.
The head of EU security called Russia weak and miserable and called for ATACAMS to be given to Ukrainians. And it will happen. And then the Abrams and F16s will go.
This is not an easy lesson. The main thing is that it should not be empty.
How to fight with this on the floor bumps? With a collective NATO and cannon fodder from former Russians, which NATO members do not feel sorry for?
Of course, this is the result of high command mistakes. But there is no need to look for hidden meanings in this. It's not about agreements and not about betrayal. In the south, they managed to unwind the Ukrainians, and there they also seriously moved, but not in the north.
The main thing is to admit mistakes and draw the right conclusions. But mistakes must be acknowledged, and not told about a cunning plan to lure naive and self-confident Ukrainians into the Voronezh cauldron.
I believe that it is time for Putin to speak to the country and declare that the WAR has begun. A war in which the entire "civilized" world on the territory of the former Ukraine threatens Russia with its actions. We are talking about survival, not reputational losses.
The country's economy is urgently transferred to a military footing.
And yes. This requires political will.
This is the struggle for the existence of our world, just as we already fought against the whole of united Europe and won in 1945.
They, in the West, have already made a mistake once, not completely finishing off the USSR, but now they will try to destroy Russia into dust in order to neutralize a possible threat in the future.
If everything is done correctly, then we will win, in the USSR we were able to win a nasty little thing, we were able to rally the people and defeat the Nazis. And now we can!

Is nearly anniversary of most special military operation of all...
Making war on the Nazis is nice!
Just take, for example, Fall Weiss,
Where our Great Russian Soul
Finally cornholed the Poles
As Herr Hilter's Red rusty device.

Speaking of which... just been re-reading Forczyk, and damned if the introductory stuff wouldn't make a Russian buy a "Kiss me, I'm Polish!" t-shirt. I almost don't want to ask, but... is he sound? The mythbusting bits, especially?

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Balaclava. 10.09.2022. Evening
1. The enemy announced the capture of Balakleya. There is no information about the fighting around the city.
2. The enemy also announced the capture of the western part of Kupyansk. On the other side, the DRG is already operating.
3. Even according to the statements of the enemy, he has not yet entered Izyum. In the morning and afternoon there were still battles. Part of the forces began to retreat to Oskol at night. The situation in the areas south and west of Izyum is not clear.
4. After occupying the western part of Kupyansk, as well as Shevchenkovo, the enemy threw groups of DRGs and light infantry to the north, which are advancing towards Veliky Burluk, taking advantage of the absence of a continuous front line.
5. Volchansk is being evacuated. There is conflicting information about whether the city will be held.
6. Svatovo is under the complete control of the LPR, no one approached him. During the day there was no particular panic.
7. Krasny Liman and Yampol. By evening, they were held by our troops, who repelled several enemy attacks. The enemy's plan to rapidly reach Oskol from the south during one day failed.
8. In the light of the official withdrawal of the RF Armed Forces from the Kharkiv region, it is still difficult to say where the deployment line of the withdrawn troops, as outlined by the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces, is located.
Regarding questions about the conclusions about what happened, everything will be fine. As the front stabilizes, there will be material on the results of the entire Balakleya breakthrough (like analysis of the retreat from Palmyra and the defeat near Tabka) and its operational consequences. I think that somehow he will go down in military history. Well, let's talk about the reasons. Anticipating the question - "Do you think that this is a cunning plan and everything was intended"? - "No, this is not a cunning plan," I did not believe in cunning plans in 2014, and even more so now. Missed a hook to the jaw. You have to get up and fight on.
From an emotional point of view, one of the most difficult days since the beginning of the NWO. You have to get over it and keep fighting. A long war lies ahead.
[ColonelCassad] There was an official comment of the RF Ministry of Defense about what is happening:
In order to achieve the goals of the NMD, a decision was made to regroup troops in the Balakliya and Izyum regions to build up efforts in the Donetsk direction. Within three days, an operation was carried out to curtail and transfer the Izyum-Balakliya group of troops to the territory of the DPR.
A number of distracting and demonstration activities were carried out with the designation of the real actions of the troops. In order to prevent damage to the troops of the Russian Federation, a powerful fire defeat was inflicted on the enemy using aviation, missile troops and artillery.
The RF Armed Forces destroyed more than 2,000 Ukrainian and foreign fighters, as well as over 100 pieces of armored vehicles and artillery in three days.
Where exactly the new lines of defense will pass is still unclear. Volchansk, judging by the statements, will also be surrendered.
But in fact, in addition to Balakleya and Izyum, one can expect the abandonment of a significant part of the controlled territory of the Kharkiv region.
In fact, this is the most serious defeat of the RF Armed Forces since the beginning of the SVO.
The reasons will be a separate material after the stabilization of the front.
[ColonelCassad] 1. Enemy light infantry was spotted at the northern entrance to Izyum. There are no confirmation videos from the city itself yet.
The withdrawal of troops to Oskol began at night. However, there is still no evidence that the enemy is in Izyum.
2. Krasny Liman and Yampol were held by the RF Armed Forces in the middle of the day. Enemy attacks are repelled. Oskol, as far as one can understand, is also controlled by the RF Armed Forces, which allows you to keep the road in the direction of Izyum.
3. The western part of Kupyansk is controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Eastern Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The enemy is also probing the possibility of advancing northwest of Kupyansk in the direction of Veliky Buruluk.
4. Svatovo under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The front is now at Oskol. Columns of refugees from Izyum and Kupyansk pass through the city.
5. It is reported that the enemy transported several DRGs near Gotomli (he had already landed there before, but was driven out of there). The enemy is also shelling Volchansk in order to sow panic.
6. The stuffing about the loss of Aleksandrovka near Kherson, which was dispersed today, is either due to a mistake or disinformation, the enemy occupied the village of Aleksandrovka near Shevchenkovo. Aleksandrovka near Kherson under the control of the RF Armed Forces - enemy attacks there were repulsed.
[ColonelCassad] There are reports that the troops are withdrawing from Izyum beyond Oskol to avoid encirclement in the event of an enemy breakthrough to Oskol and Gorokhovatka. Apparently, at the current stage, it is not possible to keep the logistics to Izyum, so the choice was made in favor of keeping the troops in order to avoid the boiler. Voenkor Sreda reports that in the morning when he left Izium there was the only open road (most likely through Oskol).
Reports continue to be received about enemy pressure on Krasny Liman and about the withdrawal of personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Emergency Situations from the city.
Fighting continues on the outskirts of the city.
So far, it is not completely clear where the command is going to stabilize the front after the Balakleya breakthrough.
[ColonelCassad] 1. At night, the RF Armed Forces withdrew behind Oskol in Kupyansk (yesterday the bridge across the river was badly damaged) and the enemy began to occupy the western part of Kupyansk in the morning. The RF Armed Forces were in the eastern part of the city in the morning.
2. The enemy continued to attack in the Izyum direction, trying to go directly to Izyum. As of yesterday evening, the front was 5-10 km from the city. The enemy DRG moving along Oskol sought to reach Gorokhovatka and further to Oskol.
3. Krasny Liman began to be subjected to artillery strikes in the morning, and in the morning an attack began on the positions of the RF Armed Forces in the area of Krasny Liman from the area of the Old Caravan. The goal of the enemy is to capture the Krasny Liman and further attack on Oskol, in order to cut off the Izyum grouping. In the event of the loss of Krasny Liman, the question of the need to withdraw the entire Izyum group may rise to its full height. However, the issue of the withdrawal of troops is already on the agenda, since there is a non-illusory threat of encirclement near Izyum.
4. Regarding Balakleya, the enemy posted confirming photographs of control from the northern part of the warehouses.
The capture of Balakleya has not yet been announced.
In general, the operational crisis after the enemy breakthrough near Balakleya continues to develop. The command has not yet been able to stabilize the front.
[GoogleMaps] A Map (emphasizing bridges and logistics) of the Ukrainian gains in Izium and Khakive eastern area, with the possible encirclement of Russian and allied forces. The article title should link to the "live" map unless I've botched the linking
Allegedly the front in that area is collapsing and is basically a rout in some areas; the roads are clogged with Quislings and collaborators whose panicked evacuations are slowing the Russian withdrawal from the area. There are reports of local Ukrainian "security elements" and police being sent to arrest collaborators and, allegedly, there are "hit lists" drawn up for the people who held higher positions or committed "war crimes". This is going to get uglier.
It appears the Ukrainian Army has driven forces all the way south along the west side of the water from KUpiyansk and is driving north from the southern edge to close the ring. Supposedly 10-20K Russian troops remain in the pocket, mostly supply, command, and other REMFs. There are also reports that some artillery and SAMs are moving into the area, which has dire consequences for what remains of the supply routes in the region for Russia.

Donetsk airport was captured and already has Ukrainian SAMs and helicopters so once can say that Russia has lost the air space over Donetsk city.
NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that if Russian President Putin prevails in Ukraine, it will not just be bad for the Ukrainians; it will also be perilous for all NATO Allies. The allies have given Ukraine unprecedented assistance, including weapon systems, ammunition, and other capabilities.
At a news conference where US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also spoke, NATO official Jens Stoltenberg stated that NATO supports Ukraine with security so that Russian President Putin does not "win" in Ukraine.
Stoltenberg said that by preventing President Putin and Russia from succeeding in Ukraine, NATO is really boosting its own security and fortifying the Alliance, stating that "we don’t allow that kind of behavior close to our own borders."
The arms and ammunition NATO is supplying to Ukraine are used to stop Russia’s hostile actions against a strong NATO ally and independent sovereign state in Europe, according to the presser’s transcripts, released on September 9.
The Secretary General of NATO issued an appeal for even more assistance and urged NATO countries to delve further into their stocks and inventories to continue supplying Ukraine with the resources it urgently needs.
At the same time the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken said "I think we can say that Ukraine is proceeding in a very deliberate way with a strong plan and, critically, enabled by resources that many of us are providing."
He further said that he was "absolutely confident" Ukrainians will be successful in fending off Russian aggression as Ukrainians are fighting for their homeland.
Blinken stated that "this is Ukraine’s homeland, not Russia." People fight for their future and their homeland.

So it has nothing to do with our government's deeply corrupt relationship with Ukraine. Gotcha. Hunter Biden was on the board of directors of Burisma, for fuck's sake. He's not what you call qualified for the position. Unless his qualification was being Joe Biden's son. Oh wait, it was.
#3
Sonny, Burisma was owned by an ally of Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainians were trying to prosecute the owner for various corrupt offenses when Biden shut them down.
What you're saying is kinda like saying the US entered WW2 to profit Joe Kennedy when Joe Kennedy was basically on the _other side_ in the leadup.
