We today's iterate also made several smaller refinements.

September 11, 2022 Ukraine map update for @TheStudyofWar.

Today's map update is short and sweet. Ukraine won the battle of Kharkiv.

Ukraine's counteroffensive pushed Russian forces west of the Oskil River at a minimum.

Details below. 🧵
We recoded the entirety of the all of Russian assessed advances and control of terrain north and west of the Oskil River as Ukrainian counteroffensives on September 11. Ukrainian forces are likely still clearing northern Kharkiv Oblast but Russian forces have largely withdrawn.
The Russian Ministry of Defense’s daily briefing map confirmed on September 11 that Russian forces are withdrawing from settlements around Kharkiv City, in northern Kharkiv Oblast, and settlements on the western bank of the Oskil River.

Compare their September 10 vs 11 maps.

For context, this is the terrain the Russians trying to escape from Izyum have to deal with.

It's nasty. It's wetlands and forests with few roads.

Forces in Izyum need to cross the Oskil River while getting shot at.
Forces south of Izyum City near Kamianka and Mala Komyshuvakha need to cross the Seversky Donetsk River AND the Oskil Eiver while defending the whole group's southern flank from Ukrainian forces advancing in the Dibrove - Sulyhivka - Dovhenke direction.
There are two (2) roads that lead in and out of the pocket.

Plus one railroad between the two. That's it.

Ukrainian forces captured Balakliya and continue to make gains in Kharkiv Oblast to close in on the Russian logistical node of Kupyansk.

Ukrainian forces are making impressive gains.

More on what we know so far below. 🧵
1. We expanded Ukrainian counteroffensives up to but not including Shevchenkove, Kharkiv Oblast, based on geolocated footage posted on September 8 that shows Ukrainian forces posing in front of the entrance sign to Shevchenkove.
No visual evidence clearly depicts Ukrainian forces having reached beyond the village. Most Russian sources state that Russian airborne elements are defending Shevchenkove. NASA FIRMS data shows heat anomalies in the western outskirts of Shevchenkove - signs of fighting.
