Stupid question: Wouldn't it have been easy – and an absolute imperative – to destroy the Gorokhovatka bridge over the Oskil with @HIMARStime over the last couple of days, @DefenceU?!
Russians seem to 100% rely on that bridge to 'save' Izyum. Image
@HIMARStime @DefenceU THANK YOU!!! Image
Russians say, Ukraine destroyed the bridge 20 minutes ago. Ignore the rest of the statement, but this is #wow. Image
As some mentioned: This is another bridge over the Oskol and there are more bridges to hit.😉

1st visual confirmation, Ukrainian troops reached #Izyum.
However not via the P79 from Kupyansk, but via the M03 from Kharkiv, which is even more ipressive.
(As always: Map shows only visually-confirmed advances, more areas under Ukrainian control very likely.) Image
Source video:
Another video from the same scene.
Looks to me like they are the first Ukrainian soldiers arriving at this spot with all Russians having hastely left their fortified positions and fled without a fight.

#Breaking #NewsMap
The Russian army withdrew in panic from a large area east of Chuhuiv, leaving ten settelements empty for the liberators to come.
After the fall of Shevchenkove, the area was almost fully cut off from the Russian supply line.
#NewsMap
The Ukrainian army liberated Shevchenkove, Hrotsa, Raivka, Troitske, Pervomaiske, Verkhnotsoryanske, Oleksandrivka, Maksymivka, Kolisnykkivka, Olekssivka, Voloska Balakliya, Petrivka,and Borivske in Kharkiv oblast.
Again: Minimum area, visually confirmed and geolocated.
Source video from #Borivkse, that was falsely attributed to Balakliya yesterday.
See how people knee down to welcome their liberators.

Russian activists, close to the Kremlin army, remain in shock and more and more of them come to the conclusion that Ukraine may actually win this war.
"We must also be prepared for the fact that in a number of areas we will / will go over to the defensive and repel enemy attacks and advances."
This RUS account paints an entirely different picture of the situation, claiming UKR has both failed in liberating Balakiya & cutting it off from its supply line to the East.
Only in the direction of Shevchenkove it admits some Ukrainian success, which it claims won't hold long.

Ivanivka is back under Ukrainian control, which I had in the gray zone prior the latest Kharkiv offensive.
This is what 50 km in central #Kharkiv oblast look like.
Just fyi.
Not that it was still needed, but here is visual confirmation, Ukrainian forces liberated Volokhiv Yar.

Geheimpapier aus dem #BMVg: 🇩🇪 will weiter KEINEN der 500 #Dingo in die 🇺🇦 liefern, weil alle „für die Ausbildung und Inübunghaltung sowie im Einsatz genutzt“ würden.
@MelnykAndrij kann „diese Verweigerungshaltung der Ampel-Regierung nicht nachvollziehen“.

@MelnykAndrij Weil Deutschland keine gepanzerten Fahrzeuge liefert, müssen ukrainische Soldaten auch sechs Monate nach Kriegsbeginn bei ihren Vormärschen entweder zu zehnt auf ein BTR oder gleich ganz laufen.
Beides ist hochgefährlich und kostet täglich Menschenleben.
#DankeScholz ImageImage
@MelnykAndrij Die Wahrheit ist: Wir könnten der Ukraine – selbst jenseits von Panzern, Schützenpanzern & Transportpanzern – HUNDERTE gepanzerte Fahrzeuge zur Verfügung stellen, um ihr Land endlich zurückerobern zu können – ohne die Verteidigungsfähigkeit Deutls zu mindern.
Tun wir aber nicht. Image

Ukrainian forces liberated Yakovenkove, Kalynivka, Taranushyne and Volokhiv Yar in Kharkiv oblast and are advancing along the M03 towards Izyum plus encircling Balakliya.
#Breaking #NewsMap
Ukrainian forces entered Balakliya from the West.
(Conservative map, more Ukrainian gains are possibly, but are visually unverified so far.)
#NewsMap
Ukrainian forces liberated Bairak, south of Balalkiya, with no Russian resistance in sight.
