Offensive in Kharkiv Direction - Chronicle of Battles, September 11, 2022

The Russian units almost completed their withdrawal from the territory of the Kharkiv Region.

▪️The AFU entered Liptsy, Kozacha Lopan', Velykyi Burluk and Hoptivka. Other settlements in the region west of the Oskil River have already been abandoned by Russian units. Near the state border in the Belgorod Region, the Allied Forces units are entrenching and building engineering facilities.

▪️Refugees are fleeing to the Belgorod Region. In the occupied villages, Ukrainian filtration detachments are spreading terror against residents who are suspected of collaborating with Russia. Murders have already been registered in Balakliya and Izyum.

Separate Russian units stayed until the last moment in the vicinity of Izyum, covering the exit of citizens to the territory controlled by the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️For the second day, the enemy continues attempting to storm Krasnyi Lyman, where Russian units are holding defence being supported by artillery. Fighting is taking place on the outskirts of the town which continues to be under the Russian Armed Forces control.

▪️The AFU breached the Siverskyi Donets River near Zakitne and transported several pieces of equipment to attack Krasnyi Lyman from the eastern direction.

In the nearest future, the AFU will continue attempting to take Krasnyi Lyman in order to create a staging point on the left bank of the Oskil River and develop an offensive towards Kreminna.

▪️In the evening, the Russian Armed Forces struck Ukrainian energy facilities with cruise missiles. Some of them hit Kharkivsʹka Tets-5, one of the largest heat power plants in the country. A large fire broke out on the site: the city of Kharkiv, the Kharkiv Region, and neighbouring regions were cut off power.
