⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Balakleya Offensive: Situation in the Kharkov direction as of 12:00 8 Sep 2022⚡️
As expected, the AFU offensive has stalled. The flying squads took everything they could yesterday, and then, with the Russian Armed Forces' reserves coming in, they have to fight for everything in earnest.
At night there were attempts to probe the Allied forces' defenses near #Shevchenkove and #Balakleya, but in view of the approach of the Russian reserves to the latter last night (after a forced march) the prospects for the enemy here are not rosy.
Moreover, the AFU failed to preempt our units in the area of #Savintsy and thus prevented the enemy strike units from reaching the rear of the Balakleya and Izyum groups of the Russian Forces (which was our most important tactical success amid the problems of the first two days of fighting). Now we can rely on this region to prepare for the fight with the main enemy forces, which have not yet entered the fight from Kharkov at 12.00 on 08.09, but are at a distance of 10-25 km from the front line.
At the same time, Russian aviation and artillery are operating at full strength and inflicting tangible losses on the enemy, which leaves the Ukrainian command with a choice - either to attack quickly and try, (before the RF Forces have had time to bring up all the reserves) to build on their success and crush the enemy in pieces (but this is very risky, as it could repeat the history in the Kherson direction), or try to hold what is occupied, but risk wasting their strike force, which will be hit with everything they have in the coming days.
In fact, the main part of the #Balakleya battle has not yet begun, and it may end in favour of either side. But much of their prospects (for both sides) will depend on how much strength the Allied Command has allocated to the #Balakleya direction. This is because the second enemy grouping from the #Barvenkovo area has not yet entered the battle.

Ситуация на Харьковском направлении (по состоянию на 12:00 08.09.22)
Наступление ВСУ ожидаемо застопорилось. Летучие отряды все что могли занять заняли еще вчера, а далее, с учетом подхода резервов ВС РФ, за все надо уже драться всерьез.
Ночью были попытки…
