The Russian army continued its attacks on Kharkiv on September 8, as retaliation for the successful Ukrainian counteroffensive taking place in Kharkiv Region.

Ukrainian Armed Forces have managed to surround a major Russian army stronghold from the north and south – the town of Balakliya in Kharkiv Region. Advancing Ukrainian units have entered the operational space, threatening to cut off supplies to the entire Russian group concentrated near Izyum. The Russian command is hastily pulling up reinforcements in dangerous fronts, though in its summaries it reports only on successes.

On Tuesday, September 6, reports appeared about a massive attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Balakliya front. Pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian bloggers as well as propagandists reporting on events south-east of Kharkiv did not contradict one another.
