The enemy continues to focus his efforts on establishing full control over the territory of the Donetsk region, and holding the temporarily occupied areas of Kherson, part of Kharkov, Zaporozhye and Nikolaev regions. During the current day, the enemy has launched more than 12 missile and more than 12 air strikes on targets on the territory of Ukraine. To do this, he conducted up to forty sorties.

In the units of the Russian Federation, the number of deserters is growing. On the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region, near the settlement of Babenkovka Druga, the enemy was forced to use helicopters and weapons to search for the fugitives and return them to combat positions. In addition, through Kalanchak in the direction of the temporarily occupied Crimea, there was an intensive movement of Russian soldiers without weapons on buses.

The units of the Defense Forces hold their positions and do not allow the enemy to move deep into the territory of Ukraine.

In general, the Ukrainian army launched a large-scale counteroffensive . There are two global directions - in the south, in the Kherson region, there are "operational" successes. There is no global breakthrough of the Russian defense line, but the military controls the settlements where Russian troops used to be.

#8  Quote from post linked two up"

"So, things are extremely shitty, the reserves that were thrown from near Lysichansk and Donetsk did not reach Kupyansk and were completely ruined by the Ukrops. ... Our entire Kharkov grouping is broken, there are no reserves."

So the RU Donbas reserves are trashed, and the Ukrainians are moving on the area where they had been stationed. The video one up shows UA APV advancing right down the road, with no apparent cover or recon ahead. They are either idiots or very confident they are well behind the defense lines.

Ukraine looks like they might be attempting an en enchelon attack on a grand scale, rolling from north to south.

Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: September 9th, 2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] 23:03 The "authorities" of the occupied Nova Kakhovka report on the work of air defense - 14 explosions were heard.

22:47 Zelensky said that Poland turned to Ukraine with a request to help in the energy sector, in particular, with the export of electricity. "Of course, we will ensure this. We will always help our Polish brothers, who have been helping us from the first day," the president stressed.

The head of state also acknowledged the presence of "certain difficulties", in particular queues, on the Ukrainian-Polish border and said that he had discussed this issue with the Polish prime minister today: "We have an agreement on how to solve this problem. The head of the government of Ukraine with his Polish colleague must agree on all the technical details.

22:43 Zelensky addressed "some bloggers who are sometimes in a hurry to announce the results of certain active actions of our soldiers on the front line": "Please take your time with messages, do not complicate the tasks for our army with your haste."

The President thanked the intelligence officers and special officers, "who once again proved to be very effective in expelling the enemy"; soldiers of the 14th separate mechanized brigade named after Prince Roman the Great - the commander in the Kharkov direction especially noted the heroic actions of the guys from this brigade; marines of the 503rd battalion - "for courage in the Donetsk region"; reconnaissance soldiers of the 131st separate reconnaissance battalion, "who, risking their lives, are the first to advance, ensure the fulfillment of the assigned tasks by the combined arms units in the Kherson region."

22:36 Zelensky said in an evening video message that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had liberated and taken control of more than 30 settlements in the Kharkiv region: "In some villages of the region, measures are being taken to check and ensure the security of the territory, we are gradually taking control of new settlements - we are returning the Ukrainian flag everywhere and protection for our people... Let's not forget about other areas. Tough battles are going on both in the Donbass and in the south of our country."

The President appealed to Ukrainians from the liberated territories with a request to provide representatives of the Ukrainian forces with any information about the crimes of the occupiers.

21:29 The Russians attacked the Kievsky district of Kharkov from the MLRS, there were no casualties, the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov said.

20:57 A fighter of the National Guard and a former deputy of the Izyum City Council, Nikita Karakay, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine entered Izyum in the Kharkiv region, simultaneously occupying the villages of Oskol and Kapitonovka. There is no official information yet. Also, Russian military correspondents write that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are entering the Liman of the Donetsk region, fighting is starting.

20:54 Zelensky presented the Order of Merit of the 1st degree to the CEO of the Turkish company Baikar Haluk Bayraktar.

20:32 Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmitry Lubinets made claims regarding the composition of the UN mission, which should investigate the circumstances of the death of Ukrainian prisoners of war in the Yelenovskaya colony. In particular, he suspects that some participants in the mission, approved, in particular, by the Russian side, may be beneficial to the enemy .

20:25 Zelensky held a meeting in Kiev with the CEO of the Turkish company Baikar Haluk Bayraktar, discussed cooperation in the defense sector.

20:06 The Armed Forces of Ukraine repulsed the assaults of the Russian aggressors near ten settlements and attacked the command posts of the enemy troops. 28 objects of concentration of manpower and military equipment of the Russian invaders were fired upon, the General Staff reports in the evening report .

19:42 The head of the Kharkiv OVA Oleg Sinegubov recommends not to return to the liberated territories of the region yet. According to him, in most settlements there is no gas and electricity, the Russians left "broken infrastructure and houses, a lot of trophies and piles of garbage." In the near future, the authorities will restore them and bring in humanitarian aid, but above all, cleaning and demining. The police and the State Emergency Service are already on the ground.

Sinegubov also said that the local population talks a lot about the crimes of the occupiers and actively cooperates with law enforcement officers. Today, the head of one of the villages of the de-occupied community, who collaborated with the enemy, was detained.

19:17 The State Bureau of Investigation began filtration measures in the de-occupied Balakliya to make it impossible for Russians and collaborators to engage in subversive activities. Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation, together with other law enforcement officers, carefully work out information about persons who collaborated with the aggressors during the occupation, and also check those who may pose a threat to national security.

18:55 The Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated a number of settlements in the Kharkiv region from the Russian invaders, the locals did not hide their delight from the meeting with the Ukrainian defenders. More details - in the material How the Armed Forces of Ukraine are met in the Kharkiv region .

18:51 The European Commission recommends that EU countries not issue multiple-entry long-term visas to Russians, as well as carefully look at the citizens of the Russian Federation and, in case of a security threat, refuse to issue visas or cancel existing ones.

18:20 The ministers of the EU member states could not agree on limiting prices for Russian gas, said the Czech Minister of Industry and Trade Jozef Sikella. According to him, "a little more time is needed" to work out a solution, and subsequent negotiations may take place before the end of the month.

European Commissioner Kadri Simson assured that the price cap is not removed from the agenda: "The context of the proposed measures is that Russia receives huge revenues by manipulating gas supplies and artificially limiting them. Price caps should reduce these revenues."

18:08 The European Union agreed on a decision to allocate 5 billion euros of macro-financial assistance to Ukraine, said Czech Finance Minister Zbynek Stanyura. This tranche will be used to ensure the operation of the critical infrastructure of Ukraine and state bodies.

18:05 The head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, again called for an end to shelling in the ZNPP area due to the critical situation in the station's power supply. According to him, the station operator is considering the possibility of shutting down the only operating reactor, then the station will be transferred to emergency diesel generators. "The situation is getting more and more dangerous. I urge an immediate cessation of shelling. This is the only way to ensure that we are not in danger of a nuclear accident," Grossi said.

18:02 Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that Putin's next plan is to bring Ukraine to its knees due to lack of financial resources. According to him, a new Europe should be born from this heroic defense of Ukraine - Europe, in which Ukraine is its full member. Morawiecki also called on the EU countries to provide Ukraine with the previously announced tranche of economic assistance of 9 billion euros.

17:59 NATO is deploying new forces in European countries, Stoltenberg said: "This is a clear signal that the organization will protect every inch of its territory." He also stressed that the alliance would support Ukraine in the long term and help move from Soviet weapons to NATO.

17:56 Ukraine and Poland have agreed to build a hub for the repair of military equipment and conduct exercises with international partners, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at a joint briefing with the presidents of Ukraine and Latvia in Kiev: "Today we also talked about organizing a special hub that would serve for the repair of military equipment, training with our German, Dutch, Ukrainian partners. We will build such a hub where Polish companies will repair military equipment, they will earn on it so that everyone would be appropriate in this cooperation."

17:49 The "DPR" accused the Ukrainian side of shelling the center of Donetsk and stated that as a result, two people were killed and five were injured.

17:35 Stoltenberg said that Russia has involved 80% of its ground forces in the war in Ukraine: “Now more than 80% of the Russian ground forces are involved in the war in Ukraine. Therefore, of course, what happens there matters for Russia’s overall ability to represent any threat to any NATO member, so my first message to the members of the alliance is that we welcome the unprecedented support, we are calling for even more support, and we are calling on them to look deeper into the stocks in order to continue to provide Ukraine with what she needs it immediately."

17:33 According to Ukrainian military intelligence, the 237th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment of the Russian Federation ceased to exist due to the death or injury of all military personnel. Most of the survivors are in critical condition.

17:25 Latvian President Egils Levits announced that he is on a visit to Ukraine: "Today I am in Kiev to assure President Vladimir Zelensky of strong support for Ukraine until victory in this war. Latvia is your advocate. Latvia will help you in recovery."

17:21 Poland and Canada will ask the UN to create a nuclear safety zone around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, writes Reuters. Western partners on behalf of Ukraine have prepared a draft resolution for the meeting of the UN Council on Nuclear Security. It calls on Russia to "immediately cease all activities at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant and any other nuclear facilities in Ukraine so that the competent authorities restore full control over all nuclear facilities within the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine."

17:02 As a result of today's shelling of Kharkiv, 14 people were injured, including three children - three, 11 and 15 years old, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, said.

16:23 Stoltenberg announced the "critical phase" of the war: "The war in Ukraine is entering a critical phase. Ukrainian forces have managed to stop the Russian offensive in the Donbass, strike back and take control of the territory again. In the past few days, we have seen significant progress in the Kherson and Kharkov regions.

16:19 The "authorities" of the occupied Kharkiv region reported that there was an "evacuation" of residents from Kupyansk and Izyum. The Ministry of Defense shows a video with columns of the Russian army, which are allegedly moving towards the Kharkov direction.

16:16 Shortly after the de-occupation of Balakleya in the Kharkiv region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine approached the outskirts of Kupyansk, a key logistics hub for the Russian occupiers and the supply of the Russian army in the Izyum direction. Analysts believe that Ukraine will return Kupyansk under its control within 72 hours. For more details, see the material Key node of the occupiers .

16:13 Ukraine's post-war reconstruction needs are estimated at $349 billion, but the amount will increase. This estimate is based on data as of June 1, 2022. It was announced by the World Bank after a thorough analysis of the bank's analysts together with representatives of the European Commission and the Cabinet of Ministers.

16:10 Germany plans to transfer 16 BIBER bridge laying machines and ten Gepard anti-aircraft tanks to Ukraine, said David Helmbold, spokesman for the German Defense Ministry. According to him, Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery mounts will be delivered to Ukraine from the warehouses of industrial enterprises, the issue of their equipment will still be decided.

16:06 Stoltenberg said that if Ukraine stops fighting, it will cease to exist as an independent state: "If President Putin and Russia stop fighting, we will have peace. If Ukraine stops fighting, it will cease to exist as an independent state. Therefore, we We need to continue to give her full support."

16:03 In the village of Moshchun, Kiev region, the remains of another person killed by the Russians were found. According to the head of the regional police Andrei Nebytov, the policemen found the skull sprinkled with earth on a plot of land not far from the forest. Damage was found on the bones of the skull, which may indicate that the person was executed.

15:49 Putin holds an urgent operational meeting with permanent members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

15:26 The head of the UN human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine, Matilda Bogner, confirmed that Russia prohibits access to prisoners of war: “It is all the more alarming that we have documented torture and ill-treatment against prisoners of war under Russian rule or held by its armed forces or associated formations with her."

14:54 The mayor of Kharkov, Igor Terekhov, announced a powerful shelling of the city from the MLRS. In the Shevchenko district, a kindergarten was damaged, a fire broke out at a gas station. There are also hits in private homes, an orphanage of creativity and a school, a sports infrastructure facility. At the moment, ten people are known to be injured, three of them children.

14:22 During the liberation of the territories of the Kharkiv region, the Ukrainian military detained a local collaborator, who was the "head" of the village of Ivanovka, Chuguevsky district, the OP reported.

14:13 The "authorities" of the occupied Kharkiv region said that the situation in the Kupyansk region is "difficult", but the military is holding Kupyansk, "the city is sufficiently safe." They also said that they are trying to "evacuate" the population as much as possible, "evacuation" goes to the territory of the "LNR" and to Russia. According to the "authorities", not a single Ukrainian DRG managed to enter the Kupyansky district, the Russian military "are making attempts" to dislodge Ukrainian forces from the suburbs of Balakleya. In turn, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that the Russian military is transferring armored vehicles and personnel to the Kharkov direction.

13:26 The Russians today launched an airstrike on a hospital in the Velykopisarevskaya community of the Sumy region, said the head of the OVA Dmitry Zhivitsky. The building has been destroyed and there are casualties.

13:10 At least ten EU countries do not support price caps for Russian gas, fearing that the Kremlin will completely block its supplies, writes the Financial Times. The publication does not publish a complete list of countries, but notes that among them are Italy, Poland and Greece.

12:39 Zaluzhny published footage from the territories liberated by the Ukrainian military. "More than 1,000 square kilometers have been liberated from the occupier in the last few days. It is very difficult for us, but we are moving forward. We are grateful to our fellow citizens who are helping and waiting for us," the commander-in-chief wrote.

According to him, Iskander is now used very rarely - the last time in August, when they hit the Kyiv region from the territory of Belarus.

The enemy is shelling the city with MLRS and artillery. The bridge over the Oskol was put out of action. Both sides are pulling up reserves to the city.

2. The enemy continues to press along the Oskol to the south towards Izyum, throwing forward the DRG.

The transfer of reserves of the RF Armed Forces, including by helicopters, is also underway to the city. The enemy is trying to move the mechanized units as quickly as possible after the light infantry in order to strengthen control over the Kupyansk-Izyum highway. Because of this, the main supply is now through Oskol.

The enemy will obviously try to create supply problems along this road, or even break through to it east of Izyum.

3. In the Krasny Liman area, the enemy is probing the front on the northern bank of the Seversky Donets, operating in groups of DRGs in the gray zone and accumulating a fist for a potential strike on Krasny Liman in order to, at a minimum, tie down the actions of the Izyum group, and as a maximum, try to recapture Krasny Liman.

4. The situation in the Balakleya area is still unclear, since even the enemy reports that the city is not yet completely controlled and there are some battles going on there. In the occupied settlements north of Balakleya, the Nazis begin to unleash terror against the civilian population.

5. In general, the operational crisis continues to develop and it is too early to talk about any stabilization of the situation.

#2  I recall the series Band of Brothers when they liberated the Dutch city, the locals were shaving the collaborating women's heads but were shooting the men. Pretty much on par at that time as the Allies moved east.

#3  Reminds me of the Battle of the Bulge. The Nazis did that one too.

#4  ..the SS did that to POWs in the Bulge. The practice was returned from that point on. It happened to the Canadians in Normandy. They followed the same practice.

Europe
Russian Soldiers Come Out With White Flags At Izyum Railway Market
[Charter97] The fact that the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine entered Izyum was reported by the fighter of the National Guard and the ex-deputy of the Izyum City Council Mykita Karakay.

"The Russian fascists came out with white flags at the railway market in the city of Izyum. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated Kapitolivka and Oskol of the Izyum region," he said.

At the same time, Russian Telegram channels are massively reporting the start of fighting on the outskirts of Lyman. Presumably, the Armed Forces of Ukraine crossed the Seversky Donets river, and went to the villages in the vicinity of the city, deciding to attack the right flank of the Izyum grouping of the RF Armed Forces.

#1  At this point they are effectively encircled. Most are lower quality and militia-level troops, and a lot of support and logistics troops since it was a major supply hub for that region

#4  I visit two sites I semi-trust to keep track of what's supposedly going on in Ukraine. They are:

https://www.understandingwar.org/
https://militaryland.net/

Some "news" reporting is extremely biased in one direction (Daily Mail) or another (countless!). This is definitely one time I wish I had access to the message traffic I used to take for granted.

#5  I used to take for granted.

Yeah, or disregarded.
