Battle For Balakleya: Russian Grouping In Operational Encirclement

Illustrative Image

On the first day of their offensive in the area of Balakleya in the Kharkov region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to establish fire control of the roads leading to the settlements but they are yet to enter the town.

On September 6, the AFU went on the offensive in different areas in the Kharkov region. While artillery duels continued on the outskirts of the city of Kharkov, the main battlefield is the area near the town of Balakleya.

The AFU have been preparing the offensive operation for a long time, constantly shelling Russian positions for the last weeks and on the morning of September 6, they went on the assault.

On the evening of September 6, the AFU took control of the western part of the village of Verbovka located on the north-western outskirts of Balakleya. The town is reportedly defended by the servicemen of the LPR mobile reserve and others, fighters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Wagner group.

The AFU continue their attempts to advance to the east and take control of the road leading to Volokhov Yar in order to cut Balakleya from the north. They also attempt to take control of the large 65 arsenal located on the norther outskirts of Balakleya. However, according to several reports from the area, the arsenal was emptied in advance by Russian forces. In order to advance in Verbovka, the AFU have to cross the Srednyaya Balakleika River. The bridge over the river was not destroyed and there are battles for control over it.

At the moment, Balakleya is in an operational encirclement. Russian forces blew up the bridge on the Balakleika River to prevent the enemy vehicles from passing deep into the city.

Having established a foothold in the western part of Verbovka, the AFU developed some success towards the village of Yakovenkovo, trying to advance to Volokhov Yar. At the moment, the main battles continue on the eastern outskirts of Yakovenkovo. The road to Balakleya is under fire control of Ukrainian artillery.

According to unconfirmed reports, Russian forces repelled Ukrainian attack south of Balakleya near the village of Bayrak and managed to expand their control zone towards Gusarovka.

Russian positions in Balakleya are of strategic importance as they assure the security of the north-western flank of the Russian grouping in Izyum. Loss of the military positions in the area may threaten the Russian operation to blockade Ukrainian forces in Slavyansk region and even pawe they way for the Ukrainian offensive in the DPR.

Russia walks a tight rope in Syria, only an idiot would start a war on two fronts, hitler for example and now biden with China.

He’s got to overthrow the Chinese, so he can release his bagman from prison.

Ashok Varma

Russia needs to stop the Zionist daily aggression on Syria, it is looking bad for Russian credibility.

Vanya

Not being able to protect Donbass also looks bad for Russian credibility.

Donnchadh

Cant find evidence of that so far Carlo but many countries are sending supplies and some of them might hold supplies of Iranian shells– but if anybody has a link ??

Carlo

Search for CyberspecNews telegram

Ashok Varma

There is no link, it is doubtful but the Pakis are arming Uki Nazis. This may be an NATO disinformation attempt to create a rift between Russia and Iran. The world knows better.

Possibly, but never underestimate the perfidy of the American government. Could of been stolen/bought and supplied in order to add an element of distrust amongst Asian players.

Video from the afu really?this counts as proof? well maybe on cnn ,to those concerned of a possible russian defeat try reading the piece again, ”the arsenal was emptied in advance by Russian forces.”, learn to see a set piece, the ukies are walking into yet another trap they see the carrot, but not the stick.

Ashok Varma

The Iranians who produce very high quality ammunition had sold some to the Paki bastards who on their British masters orders gave it to the Ukrainian Nazis. The RAF is flying 5 C-17 flights a day to arm the Uki suicide missions.

steve

Brilliant point,saw your last comment on that, are the flights still going on?

Akbar

More likely Iranian supplied them to Hezbollah unit and then lost to Turkey funded terrorist and transfered to Ukrop.

The Objective

Its from the shipment that was highjacked by the U.S. Navy enroute from Iran to Yemen.

Florian Geyer

That makes good sense.

Paco

This is no evidence that the iranian government supported this supplies in any way.

Don’t worry. Russians keep their promises. In contrast with Anglo-Saxons. Who lie as soon as they open their mouths.

Their habit is to agree to something with their mouth and then shit it out their arse after its served their purpose.

It’s been a week since this offensive, and ukraine already throwing reserves into the battle, because their main fighting force got destroyed. This is nothing more than a pr stunt, a last desperate attempt to attack. It’s like the Battle of Bulge, except it’s way worse for them this time.

Oh oh ohhhh

Seems Russia is really doing well judging by all the comments of false information and urging to pull back and quit this SMO.

G7+ must really be on the brink of loosing it all.

The longer Russia endures, the more civil unrest will unfold abroad, the more their economic might will dwindle. Ukies already lost thousands of man power in just this so called operation eagle talon, some counter offensive that is.

When the enemy is urging you to quit, you are winning. Remember how arrogant they are now all of a sudden developing a humane touch? I think not.

After all, Russia is absolutely not used to winter, I mean only Ukraine experiences winter, while Russia enjoys a tropical climate with all its pearly beaches and resorts. Hahaha – homes will be warm, people will be fed…can’t say the same about the enemy or their Axis of lies.

I can’t wait for the conclusion of this failed attack on Russia.

steve

i would expect a serious push much further inland and along the coast Lavrov and the head of the LPR said as much to prevent keiv from shelling civilian centers and ever kilometer finds more Russian citizens unwilling to be part of a NATO subservient Ukraine and who can blame them,thats a lot of loans to repay,and the wests failure to honour the grain agreement means another deal won’t be sought ,its now surrender or die.

Whi in God’s name would want to remain in Ukraine? Even the ones voting remain just want to skedaddle into Europe the first chance they get. Someone has to tell them to take toilet paper with them though.

Winter is good for Ukrops to hide under bare tree branches and leave little critter tracks in the snow.

KharkOv in general is the worst frontline since day 1, so many errors there… so I’m not surprised it’s the only area where Ukros can achieve some success.

and here come the trolls

although, if they dared to read some recent news, they would know that the Russian troops aren’t encircled at all

the brave group has repelled the ukrop offensive and the reserves have entered battle, so the ukrops are going backwards, while losing scores of soldiers

Alarm bells should be ringing all throughout the Kremlin that they messed up again twice in the same year IN THE SAME EXACT WAY: not enough men, not targeting infrastructure.

The very first thing you do in a war is shut off your enemy’s electricity.

Military Academy here again, ukrotards ! Please, pay attention, important announce here ! Just like we’ve predicted some time ago, all flows as the russian wanted ! Months of visible ukrotards preparations, massing tank brigades, all info’s about the coming axis offensive from both sources, military and civilian, and NO russian counter-preparations MEANS ONE damn THING: this is INTENTIONAL ! Putin needs a nation wide outrage motif and HERE WILL BE ! They will let cocaine Hitlersky to manage something incredible, means threatening the M03 highway to Izium, possible to let them a fake opportunity to cut it (anyway, russians fought more than 2 months to secure it) and then to call for all scale on bandera cunts attack, meaning letting the regular army to enter the game, without the so much fucking Putin needed ‘legality’. And then, there will be a real holocaust for the azovite fascist mongrels. Because it is in the Kharkov county where there is still no announced free referendum of locals yet. Stay tuned and see the full swing. On the other hands, look on the real hot spot, which is Vysokappilia town where are ones of the most fiercest battles in the entire war: both sides have significant casualties; russians because they are surrounded and bombarded from 3 sides and the ukrotard lunatics because send wave after wave of reserves only to be evaporated by FAB 500.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Izyum front: the situation near Balakliya on September 7, 2022

Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, after a long artillery preparation along Balakleya, Izyum, logistics routes and warehouses of the RF Armed Forces, launched an attack on Balakleya from the west from Andreevka.

🔻Due to its geographical position, without control over Balakleya, it is difficult to secure the northwestern flank of the group based in Izyum. In addition, if someday the Russian Armed Forces again pay attention to Kharkov itself, a convenient route runs from Balakliya through Zmiev to the Slobodskoy and Industrialny districts of the regional center.

▪️After inflicting massive fire damage on mobilized militiamen from the DPR, who were on the defensive in the nearby forests, the Armed Forces of Ukraine entered the village of Verbovka.

From there, the only route to the territory of the 65th arsenal and Balakleya itself through the Srednyaya Balakleyka River is still preserved. The bridge across the river is intact, fighting is going on for control over it.

▪️From Recruitment, the Armed Forces of Ukraine developed success towards the village of Yakovenkovo, trying to move towards Volokhov Yar and completely block Balakleya from the north.

Now the road Volokhov Yar – Balakleya is under the fire control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

▪️Bridges located to the south across the rivers Balakleyka and Extreme Balakleyka: undermined, so communication with the central regions of Balakleya is now interrupted.

The Ukrainian formations did not enter the Camp area located on the western bank of the Balakleyka River to the north of its tributary (the Lyakhovaya River). There is also no confirmation of the presence of the RF Armed Forces in this area.

▪️Reports have been received about the advance of the Russian Armed Forces south of the village of Bayrak and the expansion of the control zone towards Gusarovka. But so far there are no facts that could confirm this.

🔻At the moment, Balakliya is in the operational encirclement and in the zone of fire destruction of Ukrainian artillery. All entrances are cut by fire.

Very accurate description. Now let’s see how russians will act knowing that yhey knew from months ago the nazi plans. I bet for the Kherson Andreevka bridgehead tactic. They let enemy to come in slowly on a predetermined path and constantly loosing men and vehicles and thereafter when the auto-cauldron is formed send the FAB 500 nazi destroyer and TOS 1 thermo’s to be concentrated into ukrotards. Off course with same phenomenal casualties like in Kherson area. Meanwhile, without any predictions, russians managed to start own offensive in south, Novopil and Nevrobka already taken and thus enlarging the bulge there.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Kharkov direction at 13.30 on 8 Sep 2022⚡️

The situation near #Balakleya remains difficult. Nevertheless, the enemy has not yet succeeded in fully mastering the road network to the north and west of the city, cutting off the supply of the Russian grouping near #Izyum.

▪️ The AFU is trying to storm the village of #Shevchenkovo on the Balakleya-Kupyansk trunk road. The deployed reserves of the Russian Armed Forces have so far repelled the Ukrainian attacks on the village. The enemy is not trying to launch an offensive to the north.

▪️ #Balakleya remains operationally encircled and all access roads are shot. However, the city remains under the control of Russian forces: according to some sources, they have even managed to bring reinforcements there. There is also information about the successful withdrawal of SOBR units from the encirclement.

▪️ Throughout the night, the Russian Air Force operated in the air, carrying out intensive missile and bomb attacks on the advancing AFU units and their reserves. The artillery of the Russian forces, including heavy TOS-1A flame-thrower systems, also continuously struck targets. These measures partially contained the enemy, causing casualties and slowing the pace of advance.

The Ukrainian command’s closest objective is to reach the villages of #Veseloye and #Kunye and further to the Oskolskoye water reservoir. This would practically encircle the Russian Forces grouping near #Izyum, so the AFU will throw all forces to achieve the plan in the near future.

If this does not succeed, the fighting will turn into positional fighting and the Russian forces will be able to use local superiority in artillery and aviation to inflict heavy losses on the enemy.
