Not yet, Izyum hasn’t been taken yet, and the Russians are abanding it ahead of the Ukrainians overrunning them, but they still haven’t taken it yet and have small amounts of troops there but not in full control.
Yes I saw that from yesterday as that twat reporter was under investigation by the Russian f___es last week for taking pictures of sensitive areas and then they were shelled by the Ukrainians.
I think there is a lot of excited stuff going on at the moment and looks like huge areas are being taken, but there is no official notice yet as to what has been taken.
Once the official notice has been put up I think people are going to be shocked with what is happening and how the e Russian’s house of cards are falling.
Putin inaugurated a 140-meter high Ferris wheel in Moscow today. It is “the biggest in Europe”, he says.
In fact, it is so high that when you reach the top you can see the Ukrainians coming.
I know that, but it still isn’t occupied and fully under control by the Ukrainian troops yet, that will come in the coming hours. My shock was more about RT admitting it not about Izyum as it was reported that they were withdrawing yesterday evening.
I do follow one reporter which is in permanent contact with some Ukrainian military f___es ( i can`t say more from security reasons). If you guys like i can post his reports from the front line straight from the source, translated in English off course.
I will post last night report, and if you dont like i wont post more
Night summary (10.09 at 05.45):
Kharkiv counteroffensive. The city of Kharkiv was bombed in retaliation in civilian areas. At least 2 civilian deaths reported today. The Ukrainian army reached the Oskil River and hit both bridges supplying equipment to the Kupiansk center. Both = the road one, which I wrote about after the meal, but also the railway one. Thus, at this point there is no longer any supply route from the east. The only way of supply is on the Vovchansk-Veliky Burluk-Kupiansk route. But this route is already under the “fire control” of the Ukrainian artillery.
Kharkiv counteroffensive. There are rumors, but also pictures (not dated, so I can’t confirm that they are relevant) that over 100,000 Russian troops, reservists are moving from Belgorod, Kursk and Rostov-on-Don to the Kharkiv and Donbas front to repel this incredible Ukrainian offensive. The problem with these troops is that ALL of the Russians’ ground lines of communication (GLOC) are either under Ukrainian Army controlled territory or under fire control (ie they can be destroyed by artillery and drones very easily). This in no way means that the Russians no longer have the capabilities to stop the advance of Ukrainian troops. But…
…at this moment, even as I write these lines, counter-attacks have begun in the south-east and south-west area of Izium, which have the ability to turn into a southern counter-offensive, tactically linked to the one in the north of Izium, about which we discussed above. It is heading towards Lyman and already M03 - the route that connected Severodonetsk and Lyman is under fire control of the Ukrainians. (SOURCES! BEWARE) shows that at least Ukrainian reconnaissance troops have reached the entrance to Izium, which is absolutely exceptional in itself. Tomorrow we will see if indeed Izium will be surrounded or if we have to wait a few more days. I repeat what I wrote earlier (personal speculation): The Izium front has already fallen, it is only a matter of time until this area is completely conquered by the Ukrainians.
The commander of the Kharkiv Front, disguised as a lieutenant, in reality a two-star general, was detained yesterday by Ukrainian troops. Thus, the leadership of that front was practically decapitated (figuratively).
South-Zaporogie axis. the Russians still use the ZNPP (Zaporojie Nuclear Power Plant) to bomb Nikopol and k__l civilians. They do the same in Dnipro.
South-Zaporogie axis. Explosions again in Mariupol and Tokmak. In June or July, we said that we would be able to discuss counter-offensives in August (and the one in Kherson started), to keep an eye on the Izium front, but I also said something else: Zaporozhye-Tokmak-Melitopol-Sea of Azov. I would be careful here in the next month.
Kherson counteroffensive. The Ukrainian army reached the second line of defense, in the area of Kiselevka, they conquered Oleksandrivka and conquered several other towns in the north-east of the Oblast. They bombed 2 newly discovered warehouses in Nova Kakhovka. On this offensive, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine continues to demand media silence, therefore we will respect it. Everything I wrote in this chapter has already been officially confirmed. But I can say that the offensive works better than even the Ukrainians expected.
Mykolaiv. The city is bombarded with artillery in civilian areas in retaliation for what the Russians are losing on all fronts.
Odessa. It was also bombed today, for the same reason and the targets were all civilians.
russia. St. Petersburg. It was confirmed that the City Council of an okrug (let’s call it a kind of sector, if we compare it with the capital) asked the Duma (Russian Parliament) to investigate Vladimir Putin for high treason, for starting the war. St. Petersburg is the most cosmopolitan city in Russia and somehow it is normal to see the first reactions against Putin there. But they will not really generate the reactions there, but in the republics that were most seriously affected by the war, i.e. those in the Far East. Now the FSB has reached what is called a fork-decision: “either we take down Putin and maintain control and power, or we risk riots in Russia - we have a choice.”
