Hestia Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (Held off from posting yesterday because of obvious reasons) Ukraine has started a counterattack in the southern Kherson region as of a week or two ago. A couple days ago, a new, more interesting development happened. A sudden, unbroadcasted counterattack hit the Russian forces in the Kharkiv region, which borders the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. The Ukrainians advanced with speed, and are now on the outskirts of the key hub of Kupyansk. Now there's reports that Ukraine is beginning full-frontal assaults on Lyman and Izyum, which are huge Russian force concentrations. In three days, Ukraine has recaptured over 1,000 sq. km of its territory in the region and doesn't appear to be slowing.

In a matter of days, months of Russian progress has been completely stopped and reversed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hestia Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Russia bombed several key infrastructure targets in Kharkiv, Poltava, Dnipro and Sumy as presumed vengeance for what happened in Kharkiv oblast. In all four, they were without power for some time. Kharkiv is still without power and water. President Zelenskyy had this to say about the strikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hestia Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 A mass burial site has been found in Izyum, Ukraine of about 440 graves. Izyum is one of the largest cities to be recovered by Ukraine in its Kharkiv offensive and was the Russian hub of control in the area for many months.
