Soledar direction: advance of the AFU near Andreevka situation as of 14.00 September 9, 2023
🔻In the southwest of Bakhmut, Ukrainian formations continue to make their way to the railway track: after passing to the northeastern outskirts of Kleshcheevka, the AFU struck near Andreevka.
As a result of fierce fighting, enemy units were able to oust the Russian army soldiers from the village. According to some reports, the line of control of the Russian Armed Forces runs along the railway line.
This is indirectly confirmed by the activity of Ukrainian reconnaissance groups north of Kurdyumovka. Detachments in armored vehicles are moving north of the Russian fortified area, which could not have happened if the Russian Armed Forces were present in Andreevka.
🔻There are also clashes in Kleshcheevka. Units of the Russian Armed Forces hold the northeastern outskirts and are trying to counterattack. The distance to the railway track is about 400 meters.
Vremevsky section: preparation of the AFU for the offensive situation as of 15.00 September 9, 2023
At the Novodonetskoye-Novomayorskoye line, detachments of marines, under the cover of heavy artillery fire, almost without stopping rolled into the positions of the 37th Motorized Rifle Brigade, 40th Gvobrmp and 4th Infantry Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.
As a result of several attacks, Ukrainian formations were able to occupy two houses in the northeast of Novomayorsky across the Shaitanka River. The AFU are holed up in the basement, and mass artillery fire from the Russian Armed Forces is coming at them.
In the case of Novodonetsk, the situation for the enemy is even worse: attacks by waves of infantry did not bring any results, the village is under the complete control of the Russian Armed Forces. According to it, the AFU are using cluster munitions.
❗️But at the Zolotaya Niva-Prechistovka turn, the Marine Corps reserves are concentrated. The 37th and 38th infantry infantry fighting units are being transferred to the area of two settlements, and the total strength of the strike force is planned to be increased to 1 thousand people for a breakthrough to the south.
🔻Due to adjustments in plans and a change in direction to Novodonetskoye - Novomayorskoye near Priyutny and Urozhaynoye, the AFU group has been reduced, and now the enemy is conducting a positional defense.
At the same time, north of Priyutnoye, Russian troops, according to some sources, were able to push Ukrainian units beyond Grushevaya Balka, restoring the line of control several kilometers from Priyutnoye.
Kherson direction situation as of 17.00 September 9, 2023
Yesterday afternoon, under the cover of 120-mm mortar crews, the command of the 126th Terrestrial Defense Brigade of the AFU Armed Forces carried out the removal of the wounded and killed from Kozatsky Island after a suicidal sortie a couple of days ago.
🔻Despite the heavy losses, the AFU are preparing for a new attack on the island. The command of the tactical group "Omaha", created for operations on the left bank of the Dnieper, is preparing new recon groups 131 orb and 126 Brigade Territorial Defense.
🔻Also, a few kilometers from Tokarevka yesterday, a convoy of military equipment passed, which was located in populated areas on the right bank. It is likely that the AFU are strengthening their group to carry out larger attacks.
And that night, Ukrainian units from two tactical groups “Omaha” and “Thunder” first landed 12 people on two boats in the eastern part of Aleshkinsky Island, and ten more people in the area of the railway bridge.
❗️That is, taking into account previous landings on the left bank of the Dnieper, the AFU have small bridgeheads near the Antonovsky and railway bridge, on Aleshkinsky Island, west of the Cossack Camps, and will also resume attempts on Kazatsky. All this is accompanied by massive fire from cannon and rocket artillery of the 406th Artillery Brigade, as well as mortar crews and FPV drone operators.
Considering the strengthening of the AFU Forces grouping near the Dnieper and the increasingly massive incursions of the recon groups, together with the movement of the Spada air defense system positional area to the south, it can be assumed that the Ukrainian formations are preparing for an attack, which, most likely, they intend to coordinate with the actions in the Orekhovsky and Vremyevsky sectors.
This footage shows the withdrawal of Russian troops from Klishchiivka, while being hammered. Just like in Urozhaine Russians have chosen the worst possible moment for their retreat: During the day and without any armored vehicles. Absolutely disastrous.

1) "Ukrainian fighters are gradually squeezing out the invaders from their positions in the Robotyne area. The Russian Armed Forces are transferring more and more airborne troops to this direction in the hope of containing the Ukrainian advance." -- Oleksandr Shtupun , spokesman for AFU Southern Grouping
2) "Ukrainian troops have penetrated deeply into the main line of Russian defense in the Robotyne area and continue to develop a breakthrough further. There are also successes in the Bakhmut direction, between Andreevka and Klishchiivka. To maintain defense in these areas, the occupiers transferred significant reserves there, which limits their ability to attack in other places." -- UK Ministry of Defense (Pic. 1)
3) AFU units in the Robotyne sector captured an abandoned Russian T-90M "No Analogue" MBT. (Pic. 2)
4) "We tactically adandoned Robotyne in a goodwill gesture since we can recapture it anytime we want but have decided not to do it yet." -- Chechen Akhmat commander Apti Alaudinov

U.S. Military & Biden Admin So Compromised w/Karen Kwiatkowski fmr USAF Lt. Col.
She is a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel whose assignments included duties as a Pentagon desk officer and a variety of roles for the National Security Agency.
Ukraine is disappointed with Delhi Declaration and said there is nothing to be proud of as the G20 joint statement does not condemn Russian invasion of Ukraine in its final communique. The Ukrainian foreign ministry is also miffed over its absence at the G20 Summit as India did not extend invitation to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Entitlement mentality of the puppet Bandera regime....
Ukraine In Panic As Russia Bleeds Zelensky's Men; Kyiv's SOS To World, 'Need Heavy Weapons Now'
Ukraine has once again pleaded for military help as Russia foils Kyiv's attempts to retake the territory from Moscow's troops. Ukrainian defence minister Rustem Umerov said they need more weaponry from international partners to defeat Russia. He said Ukrainian warriors are "sacrificing their lives for the core values of democracy and freedom and they need backup from your side".
What democracy in Ukraine? The puppet leader banned 11 opposition parties and nationalized the all media outlets in Ukraine...just like Adolf Hitler and his ministry of propaganda lead by Joseph Goebbels. Something that Bandera sycophants never talks about. https://theweek.com/russo-ukrainian-war/101...osition-parties
