As specified, yesterday the Ukrainian military continued the offensive on Kupyansk and Izium, taking measures to isolate the Russian Izium troops. Yes, if the Armed Forces can break the terrestrial logistics chains of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they will be able to create a boiler around Izium. This, for its part, will collapse most of the Russian positions in the northeast of Ukraine, they say in ISW.
In parallel with this, the Kremlin throws resources to the Kharkiv-Izum line, trying to stop the offensive of the Ukrainian troops. The Ministry of Defense of Russia and the Kremlin media published staff of Russian military columns, which allegedly headed to strengthen Kupyansk, Izium and general Kharkiv directions. At the same time, Moscow publicly does not recognize the success of the Armed Forces in the region.
At the same time, some Russian military bloggers criticize the command that it initially relocated the Kharkiv units to now return them to the same place. Earlier, the Russian soldiers, who were on the Kharkiv-Izium line, were transferred to the Southern Axis to repel the threat of Ukraine's counter-offensive in the Kherson region, which was widely announced by the Ukrainian Military Command.
Part of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was sent to the Donbas to restore offensive operations west of Donetsk. According to ISW, a successful Ukrainian counter -offensive negates the Kremlin's efforts to turn raisins into a zone of power savings. Russian propaganda bloggers also write that September 10 will be a decisive day on this area of the front, if the Russians are not able to transfer reserves here in time.
