Yuri Dayly Report September 07 2022

, YURI DIARY Yuri suggests that the Russian command has apparently been surprised by the offensive to Balakleya, possibly expecting it to happen somewhere else. The enemy managed to advance to Shevchenkovo evading clashes, where their advance has been stopped by the newly transferred Russian reserves. The enemy s objective was apparently to take as much ground as possible. The outcome of the battle will be decided tonight or tomorrow, when the main reserves of both sides will be launched into battles, and it will depend on the speed of reaction of the Russian command in transferring additional troops there. Ukrainian planners are apparently aiming to cut off the Russian group in Izyum. So far, the enemy was advancing with relatively small forces (about 1500 men), with few casualties on both sides so far.
