Zelensky announces the reconquest of some enclaves in Kharkov

The president of Ukraine, Volodímir Zelenski, has announced tonight the reconquest of some Ukrainian settlements in Kharkov, although he has not detailed them. In his usual evening speech, Zelensky said that “this week we have good news from the Kharkiv region.” “Now is not the time to name the settlements to which the Ukrainian flag is returning,” he explained. “But it is time to give thanks to the 25th Airborne Brigade, the 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade, and the 80th Airborne Assault Brigade for their bravery and heroism displayed during combat missions.” He also expressed gratitude “to the 406th Separate Artillery Brigade for the extremely successful attacks in the areas where the occupiers are concentrated in the south of our country and to the 60th separate infantry brigade, which constantly advances our positions.” “Each success of our army in one direction or another changes the general situation throughout the entire pro-Ukrainian front line,” Zelensky said. Ukraine continued counter-attack actions on several fronts and “probably pushed back Russian forces” near from the town of Balakliya, in the eastern region of Kharkov, according to the Institute for War Studies (ISW) on Wednesday. According to the American analytical center, the Ukrainian troops would have captured the village of Verbivka, 3 kilometers of Balakliya, on September 6.
