⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Balakleya-#Kupyansk-#Izyum: Situation as of 09:00 9 Sep 2022⚡️

The situation in the area did not change fundamentally overnight. The enemy is clearly in no hurry to move forward its strike units, rightly believing that this puts them in a very vulnerable position, and its supply lines are already 20-30 km advanced, and this, moving quickly forward, can turn a victory into a defeat.

Therefore its tank and mechanized units are not moving further to #Shevchenkovo, #Vishnevaya, #Balakleya lines (which apparently our units left this night), and further to the east, the territory, already abandoned by our troops, is plagued by their flying reconnaissance units, which reached Oskol water storage basin this morning.

In the morning, Poddubny, a military correspondent based in #Kupyansk, reported that significant Russian reserves have arrived in the area of fighting (judging by the speed of arrival, transferred from the Belgorod direction).

Apparently, they will reinforce the Shevchenkovo-Kupyansk-Oskolskoye reservoir line. And if possible they will form a strike fist for a counter-offensive.

To the south, Allied units are building a line of defence with support at Savintsy, Vyshnevaya, Podvysokoye, to provide supply lines for the #Izyum grouping.

In order to prevent us from accumulating sufficient forces here for a counterattack, the enemy is actively "probing" our defenses at the bridgehead south of Izyum and conducting demonstrations towards #Liman, sending in DRGs, whose task is also to cut off the remaining supply lines of the Izyum grouping.

At the same time, Russian air and artillery strikes are now the main deterrent to the enemy.

To sum up, the situation here continues to be difficult, but despite the enemy's strong encroachment it is manageable.
