[thepostil.com]The Postil (TP): You have just published your latest book on the war in Ukraine—Operation Z, published by Max Milo. Please tell us a little about it—what led you to write this book and what do you wish to convey to readers?
Jacques Baud (JB): The aim of this book is to show how the misinformation propagated by our media has contributed to push Ukraine in the wrong direction. I wrote it under the motto "from the way we understand crises derives the way we solve them."
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Briefly on the situation in the Balakleya area on the morning of September 8.
1. The city itself was under the control of the RF Armed Forces in the morning. At night, two assault attempts were repelled.
2. The road network to the north of the city, including the interchange at Volokhov Yar, is still not controlled.
3. The enemy continues to attempt to storm Shevchenkovo, but so far they have been unsuccessful.
4. The enemy continues to try to infiltrate the Izyum highway from the interchange area near Volokhov Yar.
5. Both sides are now actively using their reserves in the ongoing battle.
6. There is a serious operational crisis, which is still far from being resolved.

Many opinionated journalists. One says with spin one thing and the other does her or his spin thing. So do you believe Ukrainians or Russian reports. So small units of Ukrainians traveled up rural routes to provide a flash media event. Russian support groups meanwhile have arrived and are shelling and providing air strikes. Loss of life by Ukrainians again as with Kherson. Really at this point a slow grind continues. Supplies abundant for Russians. Drones, missiles, electronics and so on. So I might add the Iranian drones pose a new threat as these drones are soon to be available to strike with missiles.

Multiple photos and vids of Ukr raising flags, being welcomed by civilians in Balakliya, if you care to look about. Apparently some reporting of Ukr presence south of Cupyansk on Russian Telegram channels, but no confirming geolocated reports. (Just how many spellings are there for Ukrainian towns? It's as bad as Arabic transliteration...)

(Just how many spellings are there for Ukrainian towns? It's as bad as Arabic transliteration...)
Russians and Ukrainians change town names all the time.
Until a few years ago Bakhmut was known as Artemovsk. Sometimes Russian use Bakhmut, sometimes they use Artemovsk. Russian use Slavyansk, but Ukrainians spell it Sloviansk. And that spelling will change based on its use in a sentance.
Then there are problems with Russian syntax. A town's name will change based on its use in a sentence, that is, if the machine translator catches it. It doesn't always catch it.
[MSN] The Ukrainian armed forces are attacking along three fronts in the south, east and north, reversing some of the territorial gains the Russian army made in the first six months of Russia's wider war on Ukraine. No actual figures on territory recaptured.

Quite a sight. Soviet Union flag lowered by Ukrainian fighters after entering the village of Nova Husarivka of Kharkiv Oblast. Major Russian retreat in the area. pic.twitter.com/cqBKLaJlis
Heavy fighting has been reported on three fronts in Ukraine in recent days
Britain's MoD said there has been fighting in the north, near Kharkiv; in the eastern Donbas; and a Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south, near Kherson
Three separate videos today showed signs of Kyiv's military successes
One clip captured a Russian Su-25 fighter jet being shot out of the skies
Another showed Ukrainian choppers firing rockets in Russian-occupied territory
A third video showed Russian soldiers captured by Kyiv's troops, also in the east

Igor Girkin says the Ukrainians already bypassed Shevchenkove and are advancing to Kupyansk. If successful will cut the road and rail supply lines to the Izium front.
#3
Everything seems to be going peachy then. I think I'll stop believing news about all the 'orrible things Russia is doing. Because they're clearly just dying.
This is huge. That is a major supply hub supplying some 10-15,000 troops in Izium. The only real road and rail line south go through Kupiansk. Looks like Ukraine was playing rope a dope with Russia by focusing on the south and pulling Russian troops away from the north, then punching through with heavy armor and mechanized forces.
#25
Yikes! Looks like Ukr bagged a LTG, commander of that segment of the front:
https://nitter.net/LvivJournal/status/1567974442856513536#m
They must have broken through the defensive lines to get at that level of command (or said LTG was being very stupid).
#27
This appears to be the source for the 'Ukes are on the GLOC from Kupiansk to Izium' report:
https://nitter.net/noclador/status/1568014397578137604#m
including some interpretation of what it might mean. Salt to taste: No military vehicles are in sight, this could be partisan or pure info op. They do have a drone and someone with a head for heights!

In particular, the Russians can go on a provocation in Europe. According to the JRC, there is a high probability of committing terrorist acts or other crimes under the leadership of Russian special services using Western weapons allegedly "provided to Ukraine." If successful, the Russian side plans to blame Kyiv and uses international platforms to try to publicly discredit Ukraine.

And, of course, the world will immediately reject even the very attempt of such a referendum - it will not be serious. I think that the occupiers themselves understand the futility of even attempts to seriously approach the so-called referenda".
16:08 The Ukrainian military launched rocket attacks on the airbases of Russian aggressors in Crimea. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny and First Deputy Head of the Defense Committee of the Verkhovna Rada Mikhail Zabrodsky write about this in their article on Ukrinform.
The authors emphasize that the main feature of Russia's war against Ukraine is "a decisive disproportion in capabilities", and point out that one of the main examples of the correctness of the Ukrainian approach this year is the successful efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "to physically transfer hostilities to the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea". "We are talking about a series of successful missile strikes on the enemy's Crimean air bases, primarily on the Saki airfield," the article says.
Also, the authors do not exclude that Russia may try to re-attack Kyiv, as well as advance into the western and central regions of Ukraine in 2023. Thus, the Russians may return to the idea of capturing Kyiv, which means that there may be a threat of a second attack from the territory of Belarus.
In addition, it is possible that the enemy will try to advance in the south from the bridgehead on the right bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region. Then the Russians will get real prospects for the capture of Nikolaev and Odessa, and also create a threat in the direction of Krivoy Rog and, in the future, the central and western regions of Ukraine. They can also advance in the Zaporozhye direction, which will create a threat to the capture of Zaporozhye and the Dnieper.

However, in fact, how many stale weapons and scrap metal there are in the West are sent to Ukraine."
"Turkey adheres to a balanced policy towards Ukraine and Russia, and it will continue to be so. Ankara stands for an early ceasefire in Ukraine. However, the current processes indicate that the war will not end soon," the Turkish president said.

Stoltenberg also admitted that Russia, if successful in Ukraine, could attack NATO: “Russia will temporarily occupy about 20% of the territory of Ukraine, which is four times the area of Belgium or half of the territory of Great Britain.

12:54 In Hungary, the state center has developed a geography textbook for the 8th grade, which is full of anti-Ukrainian propaganda and false facts.

In turn, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stated that it requires the speedy correction of false information in the Hungarian textbook with anti-Ukrainian propaganda. Speaker Oleg Nikolenko told European Pravda that yesterday Ukrainian diplomats held a meeting at the Hungarian Foreign Ministry, during which they declared the unacceptability of presenting unreliable and distorted facts about Ukraine.
Hungarian geography textbook full of anti-Ukrainian propaganda
12:43 The head of Energoatom Petr Kotin said that the IAEA proposal to create a security zone at the Zaporozhye NPP can be implemented by introducing peacekeepers to the plant: "They proposed creating a security zone, starting consultations on its creation. If they mean a demilitarized zone, as we If we suggested it from the very beginning, then we support this proposal... We said from the very beginning: in order to implement this, it is necessary to bring a peacekeeping contingent to the territory of the station, to the territory of Energodar, which requires additional diplomatic efforts on the part of the UN, but I think that this is one of the ways that can be realized with the support of the international community."
12:26 Putin said that he trusts the IAEA report on the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, "even though they, under pressure from the United States and Europe, cannot directly say that the shelling comes from Ukraine."

All our actions are aimed at helping people who live in Donbas. This is our duty - and We will complete it." He also stated that since the beginning of the "special operation" Russia "has not lost anything and will not lose anything."
10:00 Putin said that Ukrainian grain is supplied to the West, and not to poor countries, so "perhaps it is worth limiting the direction of grain export" from Ukraine. He added that he would consult with Erdogan on this matter.

“To make it clear whether this is a lot or a little, this is about 15% of the number of military men that we have according to the law, we do not take into account the mobilized now. Because according to the law it is 215 thousand, and hundreds of thousands have already been mobilized. So, in relation to that number, we have somewhere around 15% of women. Against the background of the states that are members of NATO, this is a very high figure, one of the highest," Malyar said.
09:31 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, three civilians were killed - in Georgievka, Krasnogorovka and Praskovievka. Two more people were injured.

"The Armed Forces of Ukraine are already close. Kupyansk has always been and remains a Ukrainian city. Follow the reports from official sources," the deputy wrote.
08:54 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) warns that Putin may try to use the IAEA report on the situation at the ZNPP and create a process similar to the Minsk agreements. The somewhat encrypted language of the IAEA report reflects the fact that Ukraine remains the operator of the ZNPP and the party responsible for its safe operation and compliance with international law, analysts say. The IAEA cannot directly engage with Russia on the operation of the plant without at least tacitly acknowledging that Russia has a right to consultation. Thus, Putin may try to use the conditions created at the ZNPP to create a parallel international structure that undermines Ukraine's sovereign rights over the much larger territory of Ukraine now occupied by Russian troops.

07:03 The White House has information about Russia's plans to buy millions of ammunition for artillery and short-range missiles from North Korea, said Biden administration national security spokesman John Kirby. According to him, the acquisition of ammunition is presumably at the stage of preparation of the deal. There is no evidence that the Russian Federation has already bought shells from the DPRK. Kirby added that such moves by Moscow point to the "suffering" of the Russian military-industrial complex. The very fact of intentions to buy weapons from the DPRK violates a number of UN decisions to ban the distribution of weapons from North Korea.
02:32 Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said after the meeting of the Security Council on Ukraine that part of the grocery deal regarding the export of Russian food and fertilizers is not working - not a single Russian ship has yet been able to export grain for export. Because of this, according to him, the termination of the deal is not ruled out.
Nebenzya also said that Kyiv does not want to negotiate on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, "they do not want to negotiate about anything."

And the advance to Izyum creates not only a threat to the headquarters of the RF Armed Forces grouping in this direction, but also to the exit to the rear of our troops in the Slavic direction. That is why here the enemy is trying to "gas". It is reported by Telegram - channel@voenkorKotenok

[Regnum] Contrary to the myths of the falsifiers of history, the war with Japan was not an easy walk, but a grandiose blitzkrieg of the Red Army. In August 1945, Soviet soldiers showed mass heroism and gave their lives for the future of their country and their people. Continued on Page 49

Two days later, in a rescript dated August 17, 1945, "To Soldiers and Sailors," Hirohito indicated the entry into the war of the USSR as the main reason for the surrender.
Are Russians really so ignorant they'll buy this? That Japan folded not because of nuclear bombs, but drunken conscripts?
They're crazier than trans lunatics.

Rob, the firebombing campaign had destroyed over 60% of urban Japan already (The Invasion of Japan: Alternative to the Bomb(2000) by John Ray Skates). The atomic bombs were just another log piled on the inferno and the Japanese rightly believed that the US had a very limited supply of them. The naval blockade of Japanese transportation was in the process of driving Japan into wholesale starvation which had even greater effects.
The argument is that Imperial Japanese government held onto the forlorn hope that Soviet Russia would want a strong Japan surviving to counter balance the European colonial powers. Stalin did not and the Soviet invasion marked the end of their last 'credible' hope for a negotiated end.
No, I agree with the view that the greatest effect of 'Dropping The Bomb' was to give the Japanese national psyche an enormous alibi: "They didn't Lose because the Americans cheated! It wasn't manpower, ships, planes and American fighting spirit that defeated Samurai Bushido -- they cheated and used nukes!"
The book Nomonhan: Japan Against Russia, 1939(1990) by Alvin D. Coox covers the series of batttles culminating in Zhukov's decisive victory at Khalkin Gol (Nomonhan). It also ends with a views on the collapse of the 'hollowed out' Kwantung Army under the Soviet attack. Delightful book.

Twilight of the Gods by Ian Toll has an extensive discussion of the surrender issue. I can't cite chapter and verse, but two points I took away are (1) Japanese internal assessments showed that Japan was completely screwed a long time before the actual surrender and (2) the surrender was delayed because the decision required a consensus and no consensus could be reached -- sort of a "Japanese quality circle" (remember those from the '80's?) gone badly wrong.

The bombs gave them enough face and allowed the civilians of the government to do the unthinkable. Not well that Hirohito doesn't mention the Soviet action but the new weapon.
Shattered Sword is a good pick-up.
In essence, simply attacking Solomon's boned them, nevermind the result, but the clear thinkers were not listened to.

[REGNUM] In the coming days, the work of the UN mission to investigate the shelling of the pre-trial detention center in the village of Yelenovka (DPR), which took place on July 29, will start, Deputy Secretary General for Political Affairs Rosemary Di Carlo said on September 7 at a meeting of the UN Security Council .
She explained that the mission to establish the facts of the death of 53 prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will begin work "in the coming days" , and expressed gratitude to Russia and Kiev "for the constructive approach to creating conditions for the preparation of the mission" .
Recall that the pre-trial detention center in Yelenovka, where there were also prisoners of Azov (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), was attacked by rockets from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The UN, claiming that it is not authorized to investigate war crimes, announced the organization of a fact-finding mission.
Commentary by Russian blogger Donetsk
[DonRF] Blue - enemy control, red - ours. What does Balakleya give to the enemy? See the graphic at the link
It gives a significant, by the standards of this conflict, advancement, a direct threat to Kupyansk and Izyum, and, with a favorable development of the situation, the capture of a significant part of the KhNR. Plus media bonuses - an arsenal (I was assured that it was taken out) and the city.
Small, but a win. What does this bring us? You can forget about offensive operations in the north. In principle, until the recapture of the lost areas. We have not lost the city; there are battles going on. It all depends on the reserves and on which units are holding it. For the same regiments mobilized in the DLNR ... Emphasis mine: AKA a meeting engagement.
For understanding - the Soviet motorized rifle regiment is three motorized rifle and tank battalions, artillery and anti-aircraft divisions, an anti-tank battery, reconnaissance and rear services. A total of 2600 people, 40 tanks, 147 infantry fighting vehicles, 8 self-propelled guns, 9 ATGMs, 6ZSU, 6 air defense systems.
Secondary formations were planned to be weaker, but with equipment. In principle, that regiment is equal to the brigade now. Therefore, by the way, UAVs and communications could not have bothered in the USSR either - there was no reception against scrap.
And in the DLNR, a regiment is light infantry without heavy weapons. In the units which are lucky there are mortars and several armored personnel carriers. That is, in fact, for the third time (Ingulets, Vysokopolye, Balakliya), the strike falls on light infantry of the militia type. And this is not an accident. The Ukrainians not idiots, sitting on the other side. Soberly assessing their strengths and capabilities, they choose areas for operations where second-class units are located.
And we closed a number of sites with them. Why is it clear is the front (calling things without euphemisms such as lines of contact) has a huge length, with a small number of troops.
The enemy, for a second instance, has a threefold advantage in people. And to cover this huge line with something of little value is a huge temptation. They cover it ... in the first line. It is clear that when personnel units strike, light infantry retreats. It has no means to reflect this. And the nuances of mobilizing resistance to hundredth regiments are not added.
Of course there is a way out. All and sundry talk about it. There are even two of them - to attack on their own, and then the enemy will defend themselves, or else form normal regiments, already from citizens of the Russian Federation who have completed contract service, with normal equipment and normal staff.
And take hundredth regiments to the rear and retrain them. In terms of both weapons and personnel. Then yes, there will be an effect. In the meantime, we have what we have. Namely, enemy strikes where they were not expected, and these are the situations when winter comes suddenly, like with Soviet road builders.
Let's see how the situation will end. I'm skeptical about Ukrainian peers, if only because "guys go, there's no one there" does not differ from "lads, go, there's no one there" practically nothing. It’s just that the bells themselves are not good, moreover, rather in the media field than in the military. In the military, we can resist, but the fact that we have a tank biathlon and beautiful maneuvers:
The Supreme Commander-in-Chief observed the maneuvers. Vladimir Putin arrived at the Sergeevsky training ground together with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov. They were present at the final part of the exercise, which involved more than 50,000 military personnel, thousands of pieces of military equipment, many aircraft and warships.
Donetsk refers to a recently released video which showed a rather dour looking Vladimir Putin entering a press box with an apparently cowed Sergey Shoigu and his defense ministry chief of staff This does not overlap the results of SVO. Basically. And these results of the last two months are modest. And it’s good if this time is spent on creating new combat units that have been trained and tested ... And preparing a new campaign in order to finally pacify the unexpectedly peppy pig. But if all this has been spent:
Russia is working with the UN to ensure that the Istanbul agreements are fulfilled, although the West continues to prevent food from reaching world markets
For something like this, then I can’t even begin to predict where this will lead. Not from inside, nor the outside. The weak are beaten, as one prominent politician said. The people will understand and accept everything. One vessel is a reality, but the partners will finish it off. Without options.
[DonRF] Throughout the operation, I try to maintain a minimum of neutrality in relation to the authorities and command. For the goals of the NWO are declared noble, the stakes are high, and it is stupid to beat the captain in a stormy sea.
Moreover, I can repeat that the current offensives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are more of a media nature, and their success is determined not by the high qualities of the enemy, but by frank hatred in our country. This does not apply to fighters and commanders, the army, the National Guard, Corps and PMCs which are fighting. Heroically. And that's bad. Heroism is always the consequences of mistakes and is worth the loss.
Our troops are fighting. The state does not fight. And hence the consequences. While in the form of flowers in the south and north. We will continue to play - there will be more. There are no morons, no Selyuks and no downs. And it is high time to understand this.
Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
Tomorrow, at the NATO base in Ramstein, in Germany, a meeting of the Ministry of Defense of the members of the North Atlantic Alliance will be held, Zelensky, after the unsuccessful "counterattack on Kherson", needs at least some kind of "victory" to show his "professional suitability" and beg NATO for as many weapons as possible. For this reason, yesterday the Armed Forces of Ukraine began their attacks near Balakleya, throwing into battle the last more or less prepared reserves.
So far, all events take place on a patch of about 5x5 kms. After the first attack, the units mobilized in the Donbass republics stationed in this sector withdrew to the second line of defense.
According to data from the field, the APU is moving forward along the small intestine to the west of the river. Middle Balakleyka, so far he has not crossed it anywhere). He has now taken the western part of Volokhov Yar, which is on the western bank of the river, and Semenovka, also located on the western bank of the river.
The enemy, in order not to get bogged down in Volokhov Yar (the intersection from which two arrows go), tried to twitch along the highway towards Izyum, but got hit in the neck.
It is obvious that the supply of the enemy is his weakest point, and therefore, in view of the insufficiency of the pontoon park and the ability to protect the crossing from strikes (Russian aviation in the air), he goes along the watershed and thus everything will be decided today between the Chkalovsky fortified area of the RF Armed Forces and Shevchenkovo. The fast pace in this case brings both advantages (according to the idea of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the enemy should falter and run, but they are not running yet) and problems. The very long gut is vulnerable on the flanks and it will be impossible to supply it if the offensive is stalled.
To solve this problem, the Armed Forces of Ukraine desperately need to take Chkalovskoye under control. Without this, further advance is very, very risky.
In this configuration, the failure to capture Balakleya for the strike force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (where our forces are still holding out) is like a nail in the ass. And be that as it may, this is a breakthrough ... It remains only to find out whether the situation will repeat for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which developed after the "counterattack on Kherson", when the best units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were defeated.
Now the Allied forces are pulling up reserves to the battlefield, artillery and aviation are actively working.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] 1. In the area of Balakleya, the enemy controls a part of Verbovka, part of the Volokhov Yar-Balakleya highway, an interchange at Volokhov Yar.
The enemy also advanced from the south of Balakleya to Bayrak and Krasnaya Gusarovka. Balakleya itself is completely under the control of our troops. The main events unfold to the north of the city. There are battles at Shevchenkove.
It is reported about the introduction of reserves by the parties. Ours are advancing from the direction of Kupyansk (which has been shelled from the MLRS for the last 2 days), the enemy - from the direction of Andreevka. In the offensive, units trained by NATO are used, foreign mercenaries are actively used.
After the failures with the offensive near Kherson and Kharkov, the offensive towards Balakliya is another attempt by Kyiv to achieve operational success.
2. In the Kherson direction, the front has stabilized. The enemy is exhausted almost everywhere and is unable to attack. Following the results of the battle, the American media states that the losses in the Kherson direction were 1 to 5 not in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, not counting the large number of destroyed equipment. The control of several villages is clearly an inadequate price for a week-long offensive with such losses.
3. In the Artyomovsky direction, after the capture of Kodema, our troops are preparing for an offensive on Zaitsevo (not to be confused with Gorlovsky Zaitsevo). So far, the village is completely under the control of the enemy. The capture of Zaitsevo, as well as the Veselaia Dolina, is necessary to start a direct assault on Artemovsk.
4. In the Peski area, our troops have completed the expulsion of the enemy from the strongholds in the area of the village and are now concentrating on the assault on Pervomaisky. The fighting is going on on the outskirts of the city, after the artillery defeat managed to grind the oporniks on the near approaches. The clearing operations in Peski have been going on for three weeks now
[ColonelCassad] At 12:00, according to reports, fighting is going on on the outskirts of Balakleya (Balakleya itself is under the control of the RF Armed Forces), in Verbovka, in the Volokhov Yar area (the enemy entered the Volokhov Yar - Izyum road), as well as in the Semenovka area in the direction of Shevchenkovo (on the Chuguev-Kupyansk highway).
Since the morning, the Russian Aerospace Forces have been actively working (in the morning they lost one Sushka, the pilot was evacuated) and artillery, there are reports that the reserves transferred by the Russian Armed Forces have already been put into use. The enemy is also actively working with artillery and MLRS and is putting into action its reserves previously concentrated in the Chuguev area. Sushka is an MI-17 military transport helicopter, a varient of the MI-8
In general, there is a growing serious operational crisis.
What is happening now to the north of Balakleya steadily resembles the well-known breakthrough of the ISIS strike group to the Itria-Khanasser highway in January-February 2016, which created a threat to the operational encirclement of the Russian-Syrian group in Aleppo. Then the reserves from the "Tigers" and "Hezbalons" were closed with the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces. Let's see how the "fire brigade" works this time.
