They crossed that with SpecOps seizing bridges in the first day or so of the advance to isolate the battle space to the west. It appears they ended up using those bridges as bridgeheads for the exploitation phase of the attack.
The Russian collapse or retreat is exceedingly odd behavior. Almost as if they are deliberately losing control and allowing the cannon-fodder units to get chewed up (mostly easterners and Chechens). A pretense perhaps for full military mobilization and invasion?

1) Some guy suggested assuming incompetence before conspiracy.
2) Full mobilization will run into the problem of lack of half-way decent equipment. (Here's your T-62, tovarisch, good luck!) Leaving hundreds of somewhat modern units behind in Kharkiv doesn't help that at all.

They keep this up and they may have to field the last T-35.

At a casual look: the Ukrainians penetrated and then rolled up the Russian Main Supply Route (MSR) like a combine threshing a wheat field. The Russians at that point decided to retreat, get tactical distance so they could regroup and then "sit down and have a think" about the next step.
Are the Russians defeated? No. Embarrassed? Definitely.

I suspect the RU's are all washed up, unless they do the unthinkable, then all bets are off. The atomic players to watch are FR and the UK. I doubt Biden or his shadow government would do anything....unless Arlington or Crystal City is struck.

The Russian military in Ukraine is a spent force. They don't have the manpower anymore to keep holding onto the huge swaths of territory they took. Recruiting is down, they don't have much modern gear left and Ukraine is only getting stronger with western weapons and fully trained troops by the British hitting the lines.
Russia can't wait until Fall major mud comes to play and winter quiets things down a bit. They can then do a rebuild of what they can for the spring.
This is very much like WWII when it comes to military strength. The Russians are like the axis, militarily very powerful, but not much staying power for a long war. Ukraine weak in the beginning, but can shepherd more trained troops and equipment from the west as time goes on. Ukraine will get stronger while the strength of the bear weakens as it is spent.
Unless Russia goes full hog and calls for complete mobilization, they have lost.

Leaving Belarus 'Neutral' has been the choice. After the faux neutrality involved in the abortive attempted encirclement of Kiev, I mean. 'Maybe the will maybe they won't' has tied down Ukrainian reserves on the Belarus border at little cost to Russia. Can Putin coerce Belarus into attacking? Certainly it looks like the people of Belarus have even less interest in Putin's [Excrement] show than the average Russian.
#10
If Belarus didn't jump in when Russia was on the edge of Kyiv, why would it now? Lukashenko has to know that if he gives that order, he's putting his life on the line. Good chance the army turns on him, and if not a good chance Ukraine defeats it, and they won't have the same qualms about crossing the Belarusian border as they do the Russian. They even have some companies of Belarussian expats to lead the way to Minsk.
#11
Do not forget that Belarus was approaching the edge of a Maiden-style coup until Lukashcenko clamped down and the west did nothing. Declaring war against their neighbor would risk collapse. And right about now, the Belarus military may be looking at their weapons systems, looking at what happened to the people using them in the Ukraine, and considering the possibility of a similar outcome, without stocks of spares like Russia has. Not to mention the infiltration and partisan actions that have already occurred in Belarus, plus the orientation of their military is more E to W. More rail and highway run that way than into the south. As the Russians found out, there are few good logistical routes from Belarus into Ukraine, and they can all be interdicted rapidly. Plus they have to worry about NATO directly on their border, especially Poland with whom they share a long frontier. A quick offensive by Ukraine to the east of Brest could isolate and cost them a major city and transportation hub and it is relatively close to the border. And the supply lines from Poland and German are very close by for Ukr to reinforce any Ukr W to east counterattack to cut the invaders off on a line from Pinsk to Mazyr and down to Chernobyl, following the south bank of the Pripyat river. At a minimum, thy bridges there could be taken down and anything to the south (the invasion force) could be logistically cut off.
All in all, Lukashenko would have to be a fool to chance such an attack in current conditions.

[LB] The occupiers do not stop trying to advance deep into the territory of Ukraine.
by Iryna Gamalii
The enemy continues to focus its efforts on attempts to fully occupy the Donetsk region, hold the captured territories and disrupt the offensive actions of the Defense Forces in certain directions.
This was announced on Facebook by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the evening of the 203rd day of the heroic resistance of Ukrainians to the Russian military invasion.
The enemy carries out fire damage to the positions of our units along the entire contact line, tries to recover the lost position, moves his troops and conducts aerial reconnaissance.
The enemy continues to terrorize the civilian population of Ukraine, violating the laws and customs of warfare. The infrastructure of more than 15 settlements, including Bilogorivka, Spirny, Verkhnyokamyansky, Stepovoy, Sukhoi Stavka, Biloghirka, Bezymenny, and Malaya Seideminukha, were damaged by air and missile strikes.
At night, the enemy launched rocket attacks on the civilian infrastructure of Mykolaiv and Kramatorsk. In general, during the current day, 8 missile strikes, 4 air strikes and 15 attacks from the enemy's rocket salvo fire systems were recorded.
The threat of air and missile strikes remains throughout the territory of Ukraine.
The situation in the Volyn and Poliske directions has not changed significantly.
In the Siverskyi direction , the enemy shelled the areas of Senkivka and Bleshnya in Chernihiv region and Stepne and Novovasylivka in Sumy region with tanks, mortars and artillery.
In the Kharkiv direction , the intensity of enemy shelling decreased significantly. The settlements of Basove and Kupyansk were affected by the fire.
In other directions, the enemy fired at military and civilian infrastructure from tanks, mortars, and artillery, namely:
in the Kramatorsk direction - in the areas of Yaremivka, Tetyanivka, Raihorodok, Dronivka, Kryva Luka, Siversk, Verkhnokamianske, Zvanivka, Spirne and Bilogorivka settlements;
in the Bakhmut direction - in the areas of Mykolaivka, Bilogorivka, Yakovlivka, Soledar, Bakhmutske, Hryhorivka, Bakhmut, Mykolaivka Druga, Zaitseve, New York, Yuryivka and Vesele;
in the Avdiiv region – Umanske, Avdiivka, Pervomaiske, Vodyane, Opytne, Krasnohorivka, Maryinka and Novomykhailivka;
in the Zaporozhye region - the settlements of Bogoyavlenka, Zelene Pole, Novopil, Vremivka, Velyka Novosilka, Neskuchne, Vugledar, Pavlivka, Poltavka, Gulyaipole, Zaliznychne, Orihiv and Mali Shcherbaki;
in the Southern Buzka direction - in the areas of the settlements of Visokopilya, Zarichne, Kam'yane, Arkhangelske, Partizanske, Andriyivka, Bilogirka, Sukhy Stavok, Ternovy Pody, Blagodatne, Myrne and Tavriyske.
As a result of the successful actions of the Defense Forces and the destruction of a large number of enemy personnel, the morale and psychological state of the occupiers is extremely low. The command of the units of the occupying forces tries to force the personnel to participate in combat operations by threatening to send them to the frontline positions without weapons. As a result, up to 50 mobilized servicemen of the occupation forces from the city of Horlivka wrote reports on their refusal to further participate in hostilities.
In order to preserve some samples of military equipment, the command of the enemy's air defense units is trying to organize the evacuation of air defense systems deep into the temporarily captured territories and into the territory of the Russian Federation. Thus, on the night of September 11 to 12, in the Luhansk region, convoys with S-300 and Buk complexes were spotted moving from the settlement of Lutugine in the direction of the Russian-Ukrainian border.
In the Donetsk direction, the enemy does not stop trying to advance deep into our territory. Defense forces repelled enemy attacks in the areas of Spirne, Soledar, Mayorsk, Zaitseve, Odradivka, Vesela Dolyna, Vodyane and Novomykhailivka settlements.
During the current day, in order to support the actions of ground groups, the aviation of the Defense Forces carried out 11 strikes - six positions and places of accumulation of enemy manpower and equipment, three positions of anti-aircraft missile systems, and one enemy plane were shot down.
Units of the Missile Forces and artillery inflicted damage on control points, areas of concentration of manpower and combat equipment of the enemy. In addition, the destruction of four "Hail" rocket systems of salvo fire in the Kherson region, which fell into the affected zone on September 12 of this year, and the food supply of the occupiers in Dokuchayevsk was confirmed.
We will remind, as of September 14, in Kharkiv Oblast, the Armed Forces of Ukraine freed about 388 settlements and almost 8,500 square meters from the occupiers.

[Vesti] The Security Service of Ukraine has collected evidence of voluntary cooperation with the enemy of three collaborators who formed the "core" of the occupation administration in the temporarily uncontrolled territory of the Starobelsky district of the Luhansk region. On Tuesday, September 13, the press service of the department reports.
In particular, we are talking about:
"acting chairman";
"acting vice chairman";
"adviser to the head of the administration of the Starobelsky district of the LPR."
Former members of the "Party of Regions" by 2014 already worked in the same team and held similar positions in the district state administration of Starobelsk.
After the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, functionaries expected the capture of the area. They took this as an opportunity for revenge and, on their own initiative, agreed to cooperate with the enemy.
Having headed the occupation administration, the ex-regionals began active "team" work, which, among other things, includes:
propaganda actions and public ceremonies on the occasion of the "red dates" of the Russian calendar;
rallies in support of the Russian invasion;
meetings on the work of the occupation administration, in particular to expand propaganda influence among the local population.
Information about these measures as evidence of cooperation between Ukrainians and the "new government" is actively picked up and dispersed by Russian-controlled media and Internet resources that create anti-Ukrainian propaganda content.
Officials willingly give interviews to Russian media in which they repeat well-known Russian narratives about:
"liberation" of local residents by the "army of the LPR" from the "suffering" that Ukraine caused them;
"the revival of Russian culture" in Starobelshchina;
the need to support the "people's militia of the LPR" as a guarantor of these "transformations"
.
Offenders were informed of suspicion under the following articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
Part 3 Art. 28 and part 6 of Art. 111-1 ("Carrying out information activities in cooperation with the aggressor state and its occupying administration, aimed at supporting the aggressor state, its occupying administration or armed formations, committed by an organized group");
Part 5 Art. 111-1 (“Voluntary employment by a citizen of Ukraine of a position related to the performance of organizational and administrative or administrative and economic functions in illegal authorities established in the temporarily occupied territory, including in the occupation administrations”).
Collaborators are wanted.
As Vesti.ua reported, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleg Sinegubov, said that law enforcement officers would be looking for all collaborators who collaborated with the Russians .

In slippers - as he stood, he left. As for those who are accomplices, who know, but are silent. For those who are participants in terrorist acts, I remind you: an article of up to 15 years is the minimum that a person will receive for extremist activities aimed at destabilization of the situation in the region.

For the wounded in hospitals, diagnoses are purposefully simplified, previously planned operations are not carried out, and they are offered to return to the war in Ukraine. Doctors are "recommended" to give permission for planned surgical interventions only at the end of the war or with the direct permission of the commander of the wounded.
There is a case when, after a rupture of the eardrum and a concussion, a soldier was discharged from the hospital three days later with a diagnosis of otitis media. A recommendation was given not to supercool the ear; surgical intervention was denied.

08:32 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) writes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine drove the Russian invaders out of the Kharkiv region and prompted the Kremlin to admit defeat in the war.

At the same time, the ISW recalled that the Kremlin had never admitted defeat before - near Kyiv or on Snake Island.
The analysts add that the Russian Defense Ministry initially offered a similar explanation for the Russian failure in Kharkiv, claiming that troops were being withdrawn for regrouping, but that false narrative quickly ran into loud criticism online.
Experts also note that the Kremlin is trying to blame the flight of the Russian army from the Kharkiv region on allegedly insufficiently informed military advisers from Putin's entourage. Several State Duma deputies have already expressed concern about the situation and called for mobilization.

[REGNUM] Sevastopol children and teenagers visited the Cossacks of the HKO "Sevastopol Plastunskaya Hundred" on September 13. About this - a photo report of the correspondent of IA REGNUM Alexander Polegenko.
The meeting was held within the framework of the program on military-patriotic education of youth. On a visit to the Cossacks with sponsored children (these are children who find themselves in a socially dangerous situation), employees of the Department of Public Security of the government of Sevastopol, the department for working with commissions for minors and protecting their rights, and employees of the UNK Ministry of Internal Affairs also came.
The guests were given the warmest welcome. The children were told about the conduct of a special military operation, about the tactics of warfare. Teenagers were able to see modern military equipment, and some even tried it on. The young guests were also able to try their hand at assembling and disassembling a machine gun, and the hosts told about the history of edged weapons. The work with the quadcopter aroused great interest among teenagers.
The Cossacks demonstrated to the children the skill of riding and possession of a saber, some guests were able to trot in a small arena.
We ended the program with a delicious lunch from a real field kitchen.
“We are working to involve children in the organization of leisure so that they are not left to their own devices and do useful work. We focus on mentoring and organizing leisure activities. Children attend theaters, cinemas, all kinds of excursions.
Today, up to 80 percent of registered children are covered by leisure activities,” a representative of the public security department of the government of Sevastopol told a REGNUM correspondent.

[REGNUM] The possibility of extending and expanding the grain deal was discussed on September 14 by Russian President Vladimir Putin and UN Secretary General António Guterres, the head of the world organization said at a meeting with journalists.
"We had the opportunity to discuss the Black Sea Grain Initiative, its extension and possible expansion."
The UN Secretary General added that he had discussed with the Russian President the obstacles that exist for the export of food and fertilizers by Russia.
OTHER ISSUES RELATED TO TOPIC B. UKRAINIAN SSR.
Recall that Russia signed a memorandum with the UN on unblocking the export from the territory of the b. Ukrainian SSR grain by sea at the end of July. Dry cargo ships are provided with safe corridors.
Meanwhile, Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Alexander Grushkod two days ago, recalling that the deal is valid for 120 days, after which "countries should consider issues of its implementation" , pointed out the following.
The EU, the diplomat notes, impedes the implementation of the memorandum, blocking it with sanctions. It also turns out that as a result, grain ends up in the wrong countries that need it most.

I guess I am a contrarian. In the West all we have been given is NATO/American media/ Government psyops propaganda. In UK you cannot express your positive opinion of Russia. Olin Graham types have promoted this war with Russia for several years now. NATO also. NATO is directly involved now orchestrating current war efforts. Probably USA as well. Russia has held back on this effort. Now it seems the war will be boosted up a level to involve more troops and equipment. Labeling Ukrainian government as a terrorist nation will for the Russians allow for more aggressive actions. Then to move on they had to legally make this change according to Russian legalities.

I should add Putin's actions have aligned 2/3 of the world countries to Russia and China. Putin is going nowhere. Recent Russian elections have shown his popularity is solid at home. Economic growth, low inflation, prestige are his at home. This coming winter will be a severe challenge to the Western world. Bush and Clinton ignored the agreement with NATO and Russia and allowed NATO to grow to Russian borders.
Sonny de Medici -- what are you talking about? There are photos of Putin all over, as well as of the Wagner group.

2/3 of the world doesn't give crap. They are only interested who's out to buy them off. So far its been the Chinese who've stepped up with the level of graft so far to buy temporary 'friends'.

My problem is Exactly the freagin meme in the post. We're not going to find out until 2 years or so afterwards the real stories and conditions. I don't believe either side, or their claims. If after Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan you believe anything Intel tells you, you're a damn fool. That includes Twitter, Telegram, or otherwise "experts".

#11 Parrot?. You sound like a liberal. So sensitive to views unlike your own. I have dealt with people like yourself and it is a lost cause. This is the Biden way. Divide, cancel opinions, block those who do not conform to group thought. Well the world is changing fast and in not in the ways we want to see it change. So it is a little thing that two thirds of the world now side with Russia and China. Then why did the CIA meet in a secure basement room with members of congress today. Something big is happening and our media will be the last ones to tell us what the concerns are. The pages of history are being written and I don't like what is to come. Why?, I merely reply what has Biden done right so far.
* - Russia got a bloody nose.
* - US was able to field test a lot of our stuff.
* - Russian equipment still sucks
* - No US troops deployed to Ukraine
* - Polish want to buy LOTS of shiny US toys.
It's not to say that I support Ukraine but that I'm against Russia. I like Russians and have worked with many here in the oilfield, but their KGB led government sucks the big one and while I'm sorry the people are paying such a bloody price, they also 'elected' these KGB clowns.

Better them bleeding the Russians than us. Unlike Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam, where we took half measures and bled for it.
It is schadenfreude, but nice to see Putin the despot exposed for what he is, the Russians unequivocally exposed as goons and bullies getting a punch to the nose, and all the Russian symps being exposed. All without US military having to shed blood and suffer the inept policies of the beltway Uniparty.
This does not mean the Ukrainians are the good guys, after all, look at the Biden corruption prior to all this in Ukraine. But it is rather convenient that the corrupt are fighting the authoritarians, and the more they destroy themselves, the better this world gets.
Its politically incorrect, but Ukraine has become the Tar Baby for Russia. And there are not any two governments (not the people - they suffer) that deserve themselves any more than those 2.
Before I return to my reporting about the War in Ukraine, let me have a look at another, ‘indirectly related’ affair: a ‘little bit overshadowed’ by developments in Ukraine of the last few days, the 30-years- (and more) -old war between Armenia and Azerbaijan re-ignited on Monday, 12 September 2022.

"Some say it’s Putin who is attempting to distract from his defeat in eastern Kharkiv, in Ukraine. Considering his preference for subversion, wouldn’t be surprise."
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
