Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 10 SEP 2022 16:15 PDT - Map is a Best Guess
Added 2022-09-10 23:07:31 +0000 UTCThis is the best guess at this point because things are moving so fast. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has asked for full operational security everywhere except Donetsk and Zaporizhia for open-source intelligence and maps. We have covered large swaths of Izyum in Luhansk as "contested," but I wouldn't read too much into that - it is more, "we just don't know."
One final thought. Kherson was not a feint and is not a feint. This is a legitimate counteroffensive. The terrain is much more challenging, and Russian forces were far more prepared for a counteroffensive there. Ukraine's strategy is different in Kherson also, where they are not seeking a kinetic victory but victory by siege.
Enjoy these next 24 to 48 hours and be prepared for what I personally believe will be heartbreaking news from Izyum as we learn the deeper reality of what 6 months of Russian occupation by the 64th, 38th, Imperial Legion Neo-Nazi terrorists, and Wagner mercenaries looks like.
