What the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) says
As of November 9, Russian forces continued offensive operations in several directions across Ukraine; however, no significant advances have been recorded.
In the north of the Sumy region, the enemy suffered heavy losses due to poor preparation, desertion, and communication failures, while Ukrainian drone strikes complicate the resupply of their forces.
In the Kharkiv region, Russian forces control only part of Vovchansk, approximately 35% of the territory, and have been unable to expand their positions.
On the Kupiansk, Lyman, Siversk, and Kostiantynivka axes, enemy attacks were repelled, with no advancement.
In the areas of Dobropillia and Toretsk, Russian forces are attempting offensives, concentrating on the Shakhove-Toretsk-Sofiivka line, but Ukrainian units have pushed them back to their starting positions.
The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed the capture of Vovche, but there is no confirmation of this. In the western Zaporizhzhia region and near the former Kakhovka Reservoir, the enemy has also achieved no notable success due to difficult terrain.
Fishermen from Brittany, France, are sending old fishing nets to Ukraine, which were previously used for deep-sea fishing and are now being repurposed to protect Ukrainian cities and military units from drone attacks.
Additionally, Russian media continue to spread disinformation about the supposed existence of women’s units in Ukraine, creating a sense of mass mobilization and increasing fear among the population.
