updated daily alongside the static maps present in this report.
Ukrainian forces have captured an estimated
2,500 square kilometers in Kharkiv Oblast in the Kharkiv area counteroffensive as
of September 9. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukrainian
Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhnyi stated on September 8 that Ukrainian forces
liberated over 1,000 square kilometers between September 1-8 – a day before
Ukrainian forces reached the southern approach to Kupyansk and the Oskil River
on September 9.[1]
Ukrainian forces are likely clearing pockets of disorganized Russian forces
caught in the rapid Ukrainian advance to Kupyansk, Izyum, and the Oskil River,
given the influx of observed pictures of Russian prisoners of war in the past
48 hours.[2]
Ukrainian forces may collapse Russian positions
around Izyum if they sever Russian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) north
and south of Izyum. Ukrainian forces continued to advance on Kupyansk and
towards Izyum on September 9, and are undertaking measures to isolate the
Russian Izyum grouping of forces. If Ukrainians are successful in severing the
Russian GLOCs, then they will have an opportunity to create a cauldron around
Izyum and collapse a major portion of the Russian positions in northeastern
Ukraine.
The Kremlin is rushing resources to the Kharkiv
City-Izyum line in an attempt to halt Ukrainian advances after Ukrainian forces
achieved remarkable operational surprise. The Russian Ministry of Defense
(MoD) and Kremlin wires published footage of Russian military convoys
reportedly en route to reinforce Kupyansk, Izyum, and the general Kharkiv
direction but did not acknowledge Ukrainian successes in the area.[3]
While Russian milbloggers largely welcomed the reports of reinforcements, some
criticized the Kremlin for first relocating units away from the Kharkiv
City-Izyum line, only to deploy them again to the same location.[4]
Russian forces have been redeploying out of southern Kharkiv Oblast to
reinforce Donetsk Oblast and the Southern Axis to address the threat of a
Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kherson Oblast and to resume offensive operations
west of Donetsk City for several weeks.[5]
The successful Ukrainian counteroffensive is upending the Kremlin’s effort to
make Izyum an economy of force area. Some milbloggers also noted that September
10 will be a decisive day if Russians are unable to generate reserves and
capable command in time.[6]
The Kremlin is refusing to publicly address
Ukrainian successes in Kharkiv Oblast, but the counteroffensive likely prompted
Russian President Vladimir Putin to convene a meeting with top Russian security
and political officials on September 9.[7]
The Kremlin did not discuss the topic of the security council meeting, and
the Kremlin’s Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that the Kremlin will not
comment on the “situation around Balakliya and other events in the special
operation zone.”[8]
Peskov directed all inquiries regarding the issue to the Russian MoD.
Ukraine’s counteroffensive operation in Kherson Oblast
to degrade Russian forces on the Southern Axis is continuing simultaneously with
Ukrainian operations on the Kharkiv City-Izyum line. Ukrainian
forces are continuing to target Russian pontoon and ferry crossings daily,
which indicates a long-term commitment to consistently destroying re-emerging
Russian GLOCs. Ukrainian forces are maintaining a strict operational silence in
southern Ukraine, which may appear as if Ukrainian forces are not advancing.
Ukrainian forces are also likely operating in several directions in Kherson
Oblast.
Key Takeaways
- Ukrainian forces have captured an estimated
2,500 square kilometers in Kharkiv Oblast in the Kharkiv counteroffensive as of
September 9.
- The Kremlin is rushing resources to Kharkiv
Oblast in response to effective Ukrainian operations.
- Ukrainian forces reached the outskirts of
Kupyansk and are advancing on Izyum from the northwest, north, northeast, and
southeast as of September 9 and will likely sever Russian ground lines of
communication (GLOCS) to Izyum within the coming days.
- Ukrainian forces may have advanced north of
Hrushivka towards a Russian logistics hub in Velykyi Burluk, northeastern
Kharkiv Oblast.
- Ukrainian forces are continuing
counteroffensive operations in southern Ukraine, including interdicting Russian
GLOCS, degrading Russian morale.
- Russian forces conducted ground assaults
north of Kharkiv City and across the Eastern Axis.
- The United Nations released a report detailing poor Russian treatment of Ukrainian POWs and detained civilians.
We do not report in detail on Russian war crimes because those activities are well-covered in Western media and do not directly affect the military operations we are assessing and forecasting. We will continue to evaluate and report on the effects of these criminal activities on the Ukrainian military and population and specifically on combat in Ukrainian urban areas. We utterly condemn these Russian violations of the laws of armed conflict, Geneva Conventions, and humanity even though we do not describe them in these reports.

Ukrainian Counteroffensives (Ukrainian
efforts to liberate Russian-occupied territories)
Eastern Ukraine: (Vovchansk-Kupyansk-Izyum-Lyman
Line)
Ukrainian forces reached the outskirts of Kupyansk
and are advancing on Izyum from the northwest, north, northeast and southeast as
of September 9. Ukrainian forces will likely sever Russian ground lines of
communication (GLOCs) to Izyum within the coming days, possibly collapsing
Russian positions in this area. A geolocated image confirms Ukrainian forces
reached the southern outskirts of Kupyansk on September 9 along the R79 highway,
and Russian sources reported ongoing tank battles in the area.[9]
Ukrainian strikes have damaged the Kupyansk bridge over the Oskil River likely beyond
usability, which will degrade Russian forces’ ability to supply and reinforce
their positions against Ukrainian assaults.[10]
Russian sources reported that Ukrainian forces also reached the west bank of
the Oskil River at Senkove and advanced south on the R79 at least as far as the
northern outskirts of Horokhovatka (20km northeast of Izyum).[11]
Unconfirmed reports state that Ukrainian forces reached Oskil (7km east of
Izyum), which would severely disrupt the Russian GLOCs from Izyum to Lyman and degrade
the ability of Russian forces in Lyman to support defensive operations in
Izyum.[12]
Russian sources reported that Ukrainian forces launched ground attacks in the
Lyman area.[13] A
Russian source expressed worry that Ukrainian forces intend to either pin
Russian forces in Lyman so they cannot reinforce Russian forces in Izyum or
seize Lyman and advance on Izyum from the southeast.[14]
Russian forces and occupation authorities in the rear of occupied Kharkiv Oblast are panicking to reinforce Russian positions and “evacuate civilians” amid the high pace of the Ukrainian advance. Geolocated Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) footage shows Russian military convoys in Raihorodka, Luhansk Oblast driving north reportedly to reinforce Russian forces in unspecified areas of Kharkiv Oblast.[15] This footage is so far the Russian MoD’s only acknowledgment of the ongoing Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kharkiv Oblast. Russian sources reported that Russian forces are reinforcing Kupyansk and Izyum with manpower, armor, and other vehicles via ground convoys and transport helicopters.[16] A Russian source claimed that some Russian units previously redeployed to unspecified axes far from the Kharkiv Oblast Axis are being rushed back to the Kharkiv Oblast Axis to defend against the counteroffensive.[17] Kharkiv Oblast occupation administration head Vitaly Ganchev announced the evacuation of civilians from Kupyansk, Velykyi Burluk (about 42km northwest of Kupyansk), and Izyum, reportedly towards Svatove, Luhansk Oblast, a major Russian transportation node connecting eastern Kharkiv Oblast with northern Luhansk Oblast.[18]
Ukrainian and Russian sources also suggested that
Ukrainian forces may have advanced north of Hrushivka (12km west of Kupyansk)
towards the Russian logistics hub in Velykyi Burluk, but these reports remain
ambiguous and unconfirmed. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainian
forces repelled a Russian assault in Plotske on September 9.[19]
There are 16 known villages named Plotske in Ukraine, and only one village - located
three kilometers southwest of Velykyi Burluk - is near Russian-occupied territories.[20]
NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) remotely sensed
data showed fires about eight kilometers southwest of Plotske. The Ukrainian
General Staff also reported that Russian forces conducted a strike on an
unspecified settlement called Yuriyivka, which could suggest a strike at the
Yuriyivka 7 kilometers north of Velykyi Burluk.[21]
The Ukrainian General Staff did not specify the Oblast or location of the
Yurivka village. Former Russian military commander and milblogger Igor Girkin
also claimed that Ukrainian forces are launching attacks in the direction of
the northernmost Russian logistics hub in Vovchansk.[22]
Girkin’s directionality is vague and notional, but Velykyi Burluk is in the
direction of Vovchansk if Ukrainians are moving from Hrushivka. Ganchev’s
evacuation order for Velykyi Burluk may also suggest that Ukrainian forces are
within artillery range of the settlement. Russian sources also previously
claimed that Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups conducted an unspecified
operation near Vovchansk and Hnylytsya (approximately 15km west of Velykyi
Burluk) on September 7.[23]
Ukrainian and Russian sources previously reported on Ukrainian activity on the
eastern bank of the Pechenihy Reservoir, which may indicate that Russian forces
hold positions closer to Velykyi Burluk rather than the reservoir.[24]
ISW will continue to monitor the situation and update its assessment of Russian
control of terrain.

Southern Ukraine: (Kherson Oblast)
Ukrainian military officials kept their operational
silence regarding the progress of the Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kherson
Oblast on September 9 but reiterated that Ukrainian forces are continuing to
interdict Russian logistics in southern Ukraine.[25]
Ukraine’s Southern Operational Command stated that Ukrainian missile units
struck two Russian pontoon crossings in Darivka and Nova Kakhovka over the Inhulets
and Dnipro rivers.[26]
ISW previously reported that social media users witnessed explosions near the
Darivka bridge on September 8, which is consistent with the Ukrainian official
statement.[27]
Ukrainian aviation and missile units reportedly struck a ferry crossing in Nova
Kakhovka, two ammunition depots in Beryslav Raion, and several command-and-control
posts throughout Kherson Oblast.[28]
Odesa Oblast Military Administration Spokesperson Serhiy Bratchuk stated that
Ukrainian forces struck barges in Hola Prystan (about 12km southwest of Kherson
City) that Russian forces likely intended to use as a pontoon crossing over the
Dnipro River.[29]
Local reports corroborated Baratchuk’s statement, but the Russian MoD claimed
that Russian forces shot down Ukrainian HIMARS and Olkha rockets in the
vicinity of Hola Prystan.[30]
Local Telegram channels reported the activation of Russian air defense systems
in Nova Kakhovka, and many residents reportedly heard explosions in unspecified
parts of the city.[31]
Ukrainian military officials stated that Ukrainian
counteroffensives in southern Ukraine are continuing to degrade morale among
Russian servicemen. The Ukrainian General Staff also reported that Russian
forces are intensifying air patrols over Babenkivka Druha (22km northwest of
the Kherson Oblast-Crimea western border) due to the increasing number of Russian
deserters.[32]
Social media footage previously reported that six Russian jets flew over
Chaplynka (about 22km due northeast of Babenkivka Druha) on September 1, which
may indicate that Russian forces are conducting air patrols along the Kherson
Oblast-Crimea border.[33]
The Ukrainian General Staff added that some unarmed Russian servicemen moved
through the southwestern part of Kherson Oblast to Crimea and noted that
Russian forces are prohibiting civilians from leaving Velyka Oleksandrivka on
the Inhulets River to use them as ”human shields”
against Ukrainian counteroffensives.[34]
Ukrainian and Russian sources identified three
areas of kinetic activity in Kherson Oblast on September 9: near the Ukrainian bridgehead
over the Inhulets River, south of the Kherson-Dnipropetrovsk Oblast
administrative border, and northwest of Kherson City. The Ukrainian General
Staff reported that Ukrainian forces repelled a Russian assault on Bezimenne
(approximately 12km southeast of the Ukrainian bridgehead over the Inhulets
River), and the Russian MoD claimed that Russian artillery continued to strike
Ukrainian military equipment and personnel in Bezimenne.[35]
Local Telegram channels published footage of Ukrainian forces raising a flag in
Blahodativka also on the eastern bank of the Inhulets River, confirming
previous Russian milblogger claims that Ukrainian forces advanced to the
settlement on September 3.[36]
Russian forces notably launched air and missile strikes on Barvinok (about 14km
north of Kherson City) and shelled Novovoskresenske (about 20 km south of the
Kherson-Dnipropetrovsk Oblast border), areas in which ISW assesses Russian
forces are operating.[37]
The head of the Kherson Oblast occupation regime, Kirill Stremousov, claimed
that Ukrainian forces are not conducting offensive operations in Snihurivka
(about 60 east of Mykolaiv City), but have shelled the settlement with
artillery.[38]
The Russian MoD claimed that Ukrainian forces made
several unsuccessful assaults along the Kherson Oblast border.[39]
Milbloggers significantly decreased their coverage and discussions of the
southern counteroffensive in favor of reporting on the Ukrainian
counteroffensive in Kharkiv Oblast.
Russian Main Effort- Eastern Ukraine
Russian Subordinate Main Effort- Donetsk Oblast
(Russian objective: Capture the entirety of Donetsk Oblast, the claimed
territory of Russia’s proxies in Donbas)
Russian forces did not conduct any confirmed ground
assaults near Siversk on September 9 and continued routine strikes on Siversk
and the surrounding settlements.[40]
Russian forces conducted ground assaults south of
Bakhmut on September 9. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainian
forces repelled Russian assaults on Zaitseve, Mykolaivka Druha, and Maiorsk,
all within 20km of Bakhmut.[41]
Geolocated footage posted on September 7 shows that Wagner Group elements advanced
to a power station in northeastern Vesele Dolyna (southeast of Bakhmut) to
conduct an ambush on an unspecified date.[42]
The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that Russian forces conducted
airstrikes on Bakhmut.[43]
Russian forces continued routine artillery strikes on Bakhmut and the
surrounding areas.[44]
Russian forces conducted limited ground assaults on
and near Avdiivka on September 9. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that
Ukrainian forces repelled Russian ground assaults on Avdiivka and Kamyanka
(18km north of Donetsk City).[45]
Russian forces continued routine artillery strikes on Avdiivka and the
surrounding settlements.[46]
Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted an assault
southwest of Avdiiivka on September 9. Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian
forces attempted to seize Pisky but that Russian and DNR forces repelled the
attack.[47]
Russian forces conducted a limited ground attack west
of Donetsk City on September 9. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainian
forces repelled a Russian ground assault on Pobieda, 4km west of Marinka.[48]
The Russian MoD claimed that Russian forces struck Hulyaipole and Rivnopillya
(11km north of Hulyaipole) in eastern Zaporizhia Oblast.[49]
Russian forces continued routine artillery strikes along the western Donetsk
Oblast-eastern Zaporizhia Oblast line of contact.[50]
Supporting Effort #1- Kharkiv City (Russian
objective: Prevent Ukrainian forces from reaching the Russian border)
Russian forces attempted limited ground assaults
north and northeast of Kharkiv City on September 9. The Ukrainian General Staff
reported that Ukrainian forces repelled Russian assaults near Prudyanka (north
of Kharkiv City on the T2117), Ruski Tyshky (20km northeast of Kharkiv City),
and Kostyantynivka (13km north of Zolochiv), and Udy.[51]
Russian forces continued routine artillery and airstrikes on Kharkiv City and
surrounding settlements.[52]
Supporting Effort #2- Southern Axis (Russian objective: Maintain frontline positions and
secure rear areas against Ukrainian strikes)
Russian forces maintained defensive
positions in western Zaporizhia Oblast and maintained their shelling and
missile campaign throughout the Southern Axis on September 9.[53] Melitopol
Mayor Ivan Fedorov reported that Russian forces have turned five schools in
Melitopol into military bases and noted that Ukrainian partisans already
destroyed one such base.[54] Social
media users also reported a large unidentified explosion in Berdyansk.[55] Russian
forces conducted missile strikes on settlements in Mykolaiv Oblast, fired at Nikopol
with heavy tube artillery, and launched an airstrike on Radushne in Kryvyi Rih
Raion.[56]
The International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) did not identify the responsible party for the shelling of the
Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) on September 8-9. The shelling may
prompt Ukrainian officials to shut down the ZNPP’s operations. IAEA Director
General Rafael Grossi stated that there is now a low chance that reliable
off-site power can be restored at the ZNPP because of increased shelling targeting
Enerhodar.[57]
Grossi noted that the shelling on September 8-9 (which resulted in a power
blackout in Enerhodar) affected the Zaporizhzhia Thermal Power Plant (ZTPP)
that serves as an offsite power source for the ZNPP. Grossi said that the IAEA
understands if Ukrainian nuclear operating enterprise Energoatom decides to shut
down the remaining operating reactor at the ZNPP due to continuous shelling, but
warned that Energoatom will not be able to restart ZNPP operations unless they
re-establish offsite power. Grossi called for the establishment of a safety
zone around the plant. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) blamed Ukrainian
forces for firing 27 shells at Enerhodar and bombarding the city six times
resulting in a power outage.[58] The
Russian MoD maintained its narrative that Ukrainian authorities are deliberately
attempting to create a “man-made disaster” at the ZNPP.
Russian and proxy sources claimed
that Russian forces stopped a series of Ukrainian special operations in western
Zaporizhzhia Oblast on September 9. Proxy officials claimed to have stopped the
landing of Ukrainian special forces in Enerhodar, Dniprorudne, and Vasylivka (all
on the southern bank of the Kakhovka Reservoir).[59] Ukrainian
special forces previously conducted a successful operation in
Kamianka-Dniprovska (west of Enerhodar) on September 5, and Russian sources may
be attempting to information conditions to accuse Ukrainian forces of targeting
the ZNPP or civilian infrastructure.[60]
Mobilization and Force Generation
Efforts (Russian objective: Expand combat
power without conducting general mobilization)
Russian Armed Forces are continuing
to offer financial incentives to attract fighters to fight in Ukraine. A
Russian milblogger reported that Russian Armed Forces are forming “Storm”
assault detachments and are offering individual recruits financial rewards for
every square kilometer of land captured in Ukraine.[61] The
milblogger specified that the Russian Armed Forces are forming these new
assault detachments with elements of the failed Russian Combat Army Reserve
(BARS) initiative.[62] ISW
previously reported that the Armavir City Military Recruitment Center in
Krasnodar Krai previously also promised each serviceman 50,000 rubles (about
$840) for each kilometer that a recruit advances on the frontline.[63] This
new effort indicates that Russian recruiters are desperate to lure any men into
assault detachments with the promise of financial rewards and motivate them to
make advances, despite previously failing to generate recruits with financial
incentives through prior recruitment campaigns such as BARS and the formation
of volunteer units.
Former Security Minister of the
Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) Alexander Khodakovsky called on Russia’s
military command to better supply existing units on the ground before
announcing new recruitment campaigns or declaring mobilization.[64]
Khodakovsky added that Ukrainian forces managed to launch counteroffensives in
Kherson and Kharkiv Oblasts because Russian units lack the necessary equipment
to repel Ukrainian advances. Khodakovky’s argument highlights the Kremlin’s tendency
to commit additional inexperienced and unprepared “cannon fodder” forces to the
frontlines, without investing in adequate equipment or establishing logistic
support necessary to support combat forces.
Benefit payment disparities among members of Russian volunteer units and BARS servicemen may cause rifts
within combat forces. A wounded BARS serviceman published an appeal addressing
the Chelyabinsk Oblast governor, stating that the oblast government failed to pay
him regional bonuses promised to other participants of the Russian “special
military operation” in Ukraine.[65] Chelyabinsk
Oblast officials, in turn, stated that regions only provide special bonus
payments to recruits within the Chelyabinsk volunteer battalions. Russian
opposition outlet Novaya Gazeta previously reported that although BARS
elements and volunteer units are subordinate to the Russian Ministry of Defense
under the same military contract, they may receive different payments.[66] The Ukrainian
Strategic Communications Center also reported that BARS servicemen did not administratively
have the Russian MoD as a specified payee on their military contacts, which
overcomplicates bureaucratic processes such as filling for veteran benefits,
medical treatment, and payments.[67] These
complications are likely to degrade the effectiveness of Russian recruitment
efforts and degrade morale among personnel who receive disparate benefits
despite serving in similar capacities.
The Ukrainian Main Military
Intelligence Directorate (GUR) reported that Ukrainian forces destroyed the Russian
237th Guards Air Assault Regiment (of the 76th Airborne Division) and that the
regiment “ceased to exist due to the death or injury of all servicemen.”[68] The GUR
also added that Russian military commanders are dissatisfied with new recruits
operating in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast direction because most of them are 55 to
60 years of age.[69]
Activity in Russian-occupied Areas
(Russian objective: consolidate administrative control of
occupied areas; set conditions for potential annexation into the Russian
Federation or some other future political arrangement of Moscow’s choosing)
The United
Nations (UN) released a report on September 9 detailing poor Russian treatment
of Ukrainian POWs and detained civilians. Head of the UN Human Rights
Monitoring Mission in Ukraine Matilda Bogner stated that Russian authorities
are preventing UN officials from visiting Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs)
currently held in Russia and Russian-occupied territories.[70] Bogner
stated that the UN has documented instances of torture, poor treatment, and
lack of adequate food, water, healthcare, and sanitation in POW sites.[71] Bogner
also reported infectious disease breakouts at a Russian penal colony in
Olenivka, Donetsk Oblast, likely the same colony where Russian forces killed 53
Ukrainian POWs on July 28.[72] Bogner
stated that the UN has recorded instances of Russian authorities preventing
Ukrainian POWs from contacting their families to inform on the POWs’ detention,
location, and health.[73] The UN
recorded that Russian authorities in occupied Ukraine have arbitrability
detained or enforced the disappearances of 416 Ukrainian civilians, of whom 166
were released and 16 were found dead.[74]
Ukrainian forces
continued efforts to demoralize Russian forces and civilians in occupied Crimea.
Odesa Military Administration Spokesman Serhiy Bratchuk reported that
television channels in occupied Crimea are broadcasting Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelensky’s August 30 speech calling for the deoccupation of Crimea
and warning local residents to stay away from Russian military facilities.[75]
Ukrainian hackers previously hacked Crimean television channels and a sign on
the Kerch Strait Bridge to show pro-Ukrainian messaging on August 20.[76]
Russian
occupation authorities are likely artificially inflating claimed local support
for annexation referenda in Russian-occupied territories. Advisor to Kherson
Oblast Military Administration Head Serhiy Khlan stated that Kherson Oblast occupation
authorities are spreading falsely inflated poll numbers of civilian support on
propaganda sites. Khlan stated that one poll claims that 71% of Kherson Oblast
residents are ready to vote in the referendum and that 76% support annexation,
while a second poll claims 61% are ready to vote and 63% support annexation.[77]
