ISW update

quote:

The Ukrainian counteroffensive is making verifiable progress in the south and the east. Ukrainian forces are advancing along several axes in western Kherson Oblast and have secured territory across the Siverskyi Donets River in Donetsk Oblast


quote:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukrainian forces liberated two unnamed settlements in southern Ukraine and one settlement in Donetsk Oblast on September 4.


quote:

Geolocated footage from September 2-3 shows Russian forces firing MLRS rounds from positions on the grounds of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) within 1km of a nuclear reactor.[4]


quote:

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia is ready to negotiate Moscow’s conditions for ending the Russian war in Ukraine on September 4, but the Kremlin is maintaining its maximalist goals to “denazify” Ukraine.

The stated objectives of the “special military operation” include regime change in Kyiv as well as the surrender of all of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts to the Kremlin. Russian efforts to integrate occupied areas of Kherson, Zaporizhia, and Kharkiv Oblasts demonstrate that Moscow expects to keep those territories permanently as well. Peskov’s statement is thus a reiteration of Moscow‘s demands for Ukrainian surrender and offers no indication that Moscow is willing to negotiate seriously and on the basis of a realistic assessment of its prospects in a war that is turning in Ukraine’s direction.

Key Takeaways

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukrainian forces liberated two unnamed settlements in southern Ukraine and one settlement in Donetsk Oblast. ISW has independently confirmed the liberation of the settlement in Donetsk Oblast and one of the settlements in Kherson Oblast.

Geolocated footage shows Russian forces firing MLRS rounds from positions on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

Ukrainian forces continued to strike Russian ground lines of communication (GLOCs), ammunition depots, and key positions to exhaust Russian forces and restrain Russian combat power.

The Ukrainian liberation of Vysokopillya ignited critical discussions among some Russian milbloggers while Russian Defense Ministry maintained that Ukrainian forces continued to conduct “unsuccessful attempts” to advance.

Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) 127th Regiment of the 1st Army Corps personnel reportedly refused to fight due to a lack of supplies.

Ukrainian forces regained territory on the left bank of the Siverskyi Donets River in Donetsk Oblast.

Russian forces conducted limited ground attacks northeast of Bakhmut and west of Donetsk City.

Russian forces are reportedly moving military assets to areas situated along major ground lines of communication (GLOCS) in rear areas in Zaporizhia Oblast.

We can reveal yet more Russian targets hit by Ukrainian Bayraktar TB-2 drones in recent days in #Kherson Oblast; what appears to be two 9A331 TLAR from the 9K331 Tor-M1 SAM system, as well as an unknown transport vehicle attempting to hide under foliage.
LINK

Thanks to HARM missiles being fitted to MIGs, the Ukrainians wild weasels have been able to suppress enough of the Russian ADMs to allow the TB2 to operate back over the battlefield. Meanwhile the NASAMs and other NATO SAM systems have been deployed in Ukraine for 1 weeks and the Ukrainians' USSR/Soviet made SAM systems have been moved to the Kherson offensive and the Russian air force's flights over the combat zone have fallen to almost 0.

Latest daily update from Malcontent News:, Part 1:

Kherson & Mykolaiv
Ukrainian forces liberated the strategic town of Vysokopillya in northern Kherson, breaking through the main defensive line of Russian forces and pushing them back 12 kilometers across open wheat fields. The Russian Ministry of Defense acknowledged the defeat, claiming they withdrew from the settlement to prevent encirclement and to protect the civilian population.

Ukrainian forces took control of Arkhanelske and blocked the Russian withdrawal through Novopetrivka, putting the Russian garrison at risk of encirclement, forcing the withdrawal. Videos show that Ukrainian forces took POWs and captured military equipment and ammunition.

Ukrainian forces also liberated Blahodativka, expanding the bridgehead along the Inhulets River. There were reports that Bilohirvka was secured, and troops were pressuring the Russian garrison in Bruskynske. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that troop positions in Kostromka and Bezimenne were hit by air strikes, confirming that Ukrainian forces have pushed at least 10 kilometers into Kherson since August 29.

Ukraine began setting conditions to collapse the Vysokopillya salient on July 27, when it began closing in on Russian positions, attacking supply lines, and destroying Russian air defenses. Despite claims from the Kremlin of devastating losses, an anonymous official said that losses were “lighter than expected.”

Russian artillery hit a warehouse full of ammonium-nitrate fertilizer on the southern edge of Ukrainian-controlled Partyzankse, causing a massive explosion. The blast obliterated the facility, with only a large crater remaining.

Ukrainian forces captured a defensive position near Myrolyubivka after Russian troops fled. A video showed an abandoned BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), an extensive network of shallow trenches, scattered ammunition, and stolen cars and motorcycles. A HIMARS attack destroyed a Russian ammunition depot in Tomnya Balka.

Geolocated photos indicate that Ukrainian forces are moved back into the northern edge of Kyselivka, recapturing the checkpoint on the M14 highway.

In Kherson, the Lost World Hotel and Resort, which was being used as a military barracks by Russian troops, was destroyed. Video taken from the Russian military ferry crossing the Dnipro River captured a HIMARS attack on the Antonovsky Bridge and ferry landing. Another attack destroyed the Russian ferry crossing at Lvove.

Dnipropetrovsk & Northern Zaporizhia
The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was disconnected from its main 750 KW power line, with power supported by a 330 KW backup line. Due to the failure, the International Atomic Energy Agency was informed that Reactor 5 was disconnected due to power grid restrictions. The IAEA applauded Ukrainian cooperation and the actions of Energoatom employees in a press release.

“Our team on the ground received direct, fast, and reliable information about the latest significant development affecting the plant’s external power situation, as well as the operational status of the reactors,” Director General Rafael Grossi said.

“The great value of finally having the IAEA permanently present at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant is already abundantly clear. It is a game changer,” he added.

On September 2, investigative journalists recorded video from the north bank of the Dnipro River, which conclusively showed Russia is firing rockets from MLRS immediately west of the main complex at ZNPP.

Nikopol was shelled and hit by Grad rockets fired by Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS). The overnight attack damaged five homes and several barns. There were no injuries.

Southern Zaporizhia
South of Orikhiv, Ukrainian forces have advanced on Nesterianka, Kopani, and Robotyne, while fighting near Poholy continued. The airport outside Melitopol was hit by HIMARS for the tenth time, with five rockets striking the base.

Donetsk
Northwest of Donetsk city, Novobakhmutivka was liberated, and Ukrainian forces are contesting the control of Novoselivka.

A day after the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed Pisky was captured, Russian sources reported Ukrainian troops had recaptured strong points on the E-50 Ring Road. Given their location, it is highly likely that Ukrainian troops have regained a toehold in the northern part of the tactically important village, which has been the site of fighting since July 22.

The 1st Army Corps of the DNR attempted to advance on Avdiivka and Pervomaiske but could not change the tactical situation. Russian forces also attempted to advance on Marinka and were unsuccessful.

Bakhmut
The Ukrainian 93rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade reportedly launched a counteroffensive in Soledar and was able to push Russian forces back from the gypsum mine area. Geolocated video showed Ukrainian forces clearing the southwest corner of the mine in close combat against Russian troops. Russian forces remain in the KNAUF-GIPS sheetrock factor that straddles Bakhmutske and Soledar. However, Ukrainian forces were able to capture defensive positions on the northern edge of Povoroske.

In the Svitlodarsk Bulge, fighting continued in Kodema, with the Private Military Company (PMC) Wagner Group regaining some lost ground. Kadyrovites with the 141st Akhmat failed to advance on Zaitseve.

Northeast Donetsk and Luhansk
Ukrainian forces crossed the Siverskyi Donets River and liberated Ozerne, defeating Kadyrovites with the 141st Akhmat Batallion. Russian forces denied the claims, saying the advances were a publicity stunt for a photo opportunity. President Volodymyr Zeleneskyy verified the capture in his evening television address.

Serhei Haidai, exiled Luhansk Oblast Administrative and Military Governor, reported that up to 300 Russian soldiers were killed in Kremennya after a barracks and a concentration of equipment was hit by rockets fired from HIMARS in multiple attacks.

Malcontent News, Part 2:

Izyum
Russian forces launched an offensive on Pasika, 14 kilometers southeast of Izyum, indicating that Ukrainian forces had again pushed deep into occupied territory. Russian forces also attacked Dolyna and Bohorodychne, with intense fighting for the latter.

Kharkiv
A Russian S-300 antiaircraft missile used for an air-to-surface attack hit a group of restaurants in the Kyiv district of Kharkiv, destroying the structure and businesses. Over 2,200 square meters of commercial property were destroyed. The missile struck overnight while the popular eateries were closed. Pictures clearly showed the area that was destroyed. The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed the location was a barracks for the Kraken Battalion after claiming the Battalion was completely destroyed in fighting near Siversk three weeks ago.

Sumy and Chernihiv
Dmytro Zhyvytsky, Sumy Oblast Administrative and Military Governor, reported the hromadas of Bilopillia and Krasnopillia were hit by mortars and artillery shells fired from across the international border. There were no casualties reported.

In Chernihiv, at the historical center, an outdoor display of captured Russian weapons went terribly wrong. A grenade launcher was apparently still armed and somehow misfired. Four children were injured, with one in critical condition. Two people have been arrested.

Daily Assessment

1. Russian disinformation about the counteroffensive in Kherson has permeated all Russian sources. There are growing signs that Russia’s defense is not going as well as the Kremlin wants the world to believe.

2. Russian disinformation appears to be setting conditions for explaining the yet-proven failures in Kherson on NATO weapons and rumors of looming chemical and biological attacks.

3. Ukraine has quietly launched smaller counteroffensives in Zaporizhia, Donetsk, and Kharkiv over the last 72 hours, in addition to the counteroffensive in Kherson, supporting our previous assessment that the Russian military has reached a theaterwide state of combat destroyed.

The HIMARS plant in Arkansas is looking to up production by about 50% in launching platforms and missiles. Just 16 of those have shocked the Russian military and screwed it’s logistics systems. If Ukraine were to end up getting another 10-12 HIMARS it could really go a very long way to leveling the parity in conventional artillery. They have used these systems masterfully albeit with a lot of help in finding targets from the west.

British Defence Intelligence
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 5 September 2022
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE

Despite its effects to contain recent Ukrainian offensive action, Russia's main effort in Ukraine almost certainly remain its Donbas offensive operation. Its principal axes of advance in the Donbas remain at Avdiivka near Donetsk City and, 60km to the north, around Bakhmut. Although Russia has had the most success in this sector, its forces have still only been advancing around 1km per week towards Bakhmut.

The political goal of the Donbas operation almost certainly remains to secure the whole of Donetsk Oblast, which would enable the Kremlin to announce the ‘liberation' of the Donbas. Russian forces have highly likely repeatedly missed deadlines to achieve this aim.

The Ukrainian authorities have claimed that Russian forces are now under orders to complete this mission by 15 September 2022. The force is highly unlikely to achieve this, which will further complicate Russia's plans to run referendums on the occupied areas joining the Russian Federation.

Foreign purchase requests are also driving production of new systems. Poland alone has ordered 500. Other countries have put in requests. For example - Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Taiwan.

good sign from Kherson...

Occupiers put on hold pseudo-referendum due to Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kherson Oblast
— Monday, 5 September 2022, 13:58

Kiril Stremousov, the Russian-appointed governor of Kherson Oblast, has told the Russian media that the occupiers put on hold the so-called referendum on integrating Kherson Oblast into Russia.

Source: Russian Kremlin-aligned information agency TASS

Quote: "We have been preparing for the vote, and we wanted to hold the referendum soon. However, due to all the events that are happening right now [i.e. the Ukrainian counteroffensive], I think, we will put it on hold for now."

Details: Following this development, the collaborator started making excuses, saying that "Kherson belongs to Russia forever" with or without a vote, and that people are ready to "come running" to the referendum.

Revival began in SW LA with announcement of mega expansions and LNG terminals well over a decade ago.

They is even a modular nuclear reactor manufacturing plant right next to the Port by the old aluminum plant

12 kms in 1 day! That is more than Russia advanced its lines in the months of July and August combined! I cannot wait for Stidham8's analysis.

Probably will claim they had to Zoom in to show any advance (despite the scales showing otherwise) and the Eastern front is a full on rout

Excellent news. That is something the people like OMLandshark and the America first people (OML is not America first she/he is just psycho coward and lumping him/her in with them is an insult to the America first movement) do not understand. Yes, western Europe is going to suffer from higher energy bills but that is them paying the penalty for using cheap natural gas from Russia to lecture the rest of the world on climate change. Hopefully, they have learned their lesson and realize that there are NATO allies with abundant natural gas reserves and coal reserves. Europe just has to be willing to sell to them as well as being able to have the flexibility to adapt to a changing energy by using short term contracts if needed if they just build the LNG import infrastructure. It appears like Europe is doing that now. This gives the USA a chance to get a bigger piece of the European energy market through increased LNG and coal exports to Europe which means a reduced trade deficit with the EU and more jobs in the USA. Especially since Russian gas is not going to be so cheap when Russia passes the costs of increasing its production and bringing the wells that it shut down back online.

Other people were filming during the shelling and they have already posted videos on tiktok and twitter. During the shelling, I was busy trying to move my patients into the culvert that we were using as a shelter or huddled in the shelter and more worried about my safety than I was about filming anything. My evidence is not much. Just videos of the aftermath of the shelling. Even though my evidence is not much. I have already turned over the evidence to the Ukrainian authorities, the International Red Cross, the UN Human Rights Counsel, and the International Criminal Court. I highly doubt anything ever comes of it. However, I am not going to give any thing to you because the Russian government will not prosecute anyone and it would just give Russia a chance to prepare a lie to explain it away. Sorry but I can’t trust a nation’s whose UN representative lies about invading a country while there is live footage of his country invading another country on the split screen with him.

I'm sorry, I've been away for a long time, work...
But I see that my absence did not affect your posts in any way.
There were no proofs from you as expected. So you're lying. During the shelling, if you really were there, it was necessary not to shoot videos, but to save people. But when the shelling ended, it was already possible to do it.
But I understand that the battery in your phone has run out, otherwise you would have made a powerful video.
Now about the rapists. I asked the prosecutor's office about the possibility of filing a statement on my own, but according to your testimony with evidence. I was told that this is possible.
If this is confirmed, then the perpetrators will be found, because it is known exactly who, where on what date he was.
The perpetrators face jail time. His nearest senior officer will be given a disciplinary punishment with an entry in the service record and he will no longer be washed off.
So WeeWee if you give proofs, I will give the matter a go and there will be scans of documents with translation into English.
