Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine

This timeline of the third phase of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine covers the period from 6 September 2022, when Ukrainian forces retook substantial ground during counteroffensives in the south and east, continuing to the present day.

This timeline is a dynamic and fluid list, and as such may never satisfy criteria of completeness. Please note that some events may only be fully understood and/or discovered in retrospect.

September 2022

6 September

Artem Bardin, a Russian-installed official in Berdyansk, was seriously injured in a bomb attack.[1]

Sky News reported that Russia bought rockets from North Korea to assist with the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2]

7 September

The US is looking to double its production of 155 mm shells due to a need to replenish US stocks as well as supply Ukrainian needs. The Pentagon wants to increase the number of HIMARS built each month to 12.[3]

9 September

Ukrainian forces retook parts of Kharkiv Oblast.[4]

10 September

As part of a major counteroffensive, Ukrainian forces recaptured Kupiansk and Izium; according to the UK Ministry of Defence, Russian defences in the Kharkiv region were "likely taken by surprise".[5] By late afternoon, Ukrainian troops were reported to have reached Lysychansk in Luhansk Oblast.[6][non-primary source needed][7][non-primary source needed] The Russian Ministry of Defence spokesperson Igor Konashenkov responded to these developments by claiming that Russian forces in the Balakliya and Izyum area would "regroup" in the Donetsk area "in order to achieve the stated goals of the special military operation to liberate Donbas". Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said that Ukraine has recaptured 2,000 square kilometres (770 sq mi) since the start of the counteroffensive.[8]

11 September

The Russian Ministry of Defense published a map which confirmed that Russian forces in Kharkiv region had retreated to the east bank of the Oskol river.[9] The settlements of Kozachya Lopan,[10] Vovchansk and Lyptsi[11] were confirmed as being under control of Ukrainian forces. By late afternoon, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the formal withdrawal of Russian forces from nearly all of Kharkiv Oblast stating that an "operation to curtail and transfer troops" was underway.[12][13]

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov questioned Russian leadership of the war, writing on Telegram:[14] "They have made mistakes and I think they will draw the necessary conclusions. If they don't make changes in the strategy of conducting the special military operation in the next day or two, I will be forced to contact the leadership of the Defense Ministry and the leadership of the country to explain the real situation on the ground."[15]

Kharkiv power plant after missile strike

Following the 2022 Ukrainian Kharkiv counteroffensive, Russia launched missile strikes with Kalibr cruise missiles on critical infrastructure objects, including Kharkiv TEC-5, causing a total blackout and water shutdown in Northeastern Ukraine and the Kharkiv and Donetsk Oblasts.[16][17]

12 September

Ukraine claimed it had reached the Russia–Ukraine border.[18] Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian forces had retaken a total of 6,000 square kilometres (2,300 sq mi) from Russia, in both the south and the east; the BBC could not verify the claims.[19]

Thirty-five Russian municipal deputies signed a petition calling for Putin to resign.[20]

13 September

On the Kherson front, it was reported that Russian forces had withdrawn from Kiselyovka, a settlement 15 km from Kherson.[21][22] The Ukrainian armed forces announced that the frontline in the Kherson region had advanced by 12 km and that 500 square kilometres (190 sq mi) including 13 settlements had been recovered.[23]

Ukrainian Governor of Luhansk Oblast, Serhiy Haidai, stated that Russian forces had left Kreminna three days ago, the Ukrainian flag has been raised by local residents and that Ukrainian forces had not yet entered the town. He also said that Russian forces had fled Starobilsk, adding that the city was "practically empty".[21]

14 September

Flood after rocket strikes on the dam of Karachunivske Reservoir (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast)

After a phone call with Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told journalists that Putin did not seem to believe that the invasion of Ukraine was a mistake.[needs context] UN Secretary-General António Guterres also said that prospects for a peace negotiation were "minimal".[24]

Russian forces launched eight cruise missiles at the dam of the Karachunivske reservoir causing extensive flooding in Kryvyi Rih and a 2.5 metres (8 ft) increase of water level in the Inhulets River.[25]

15 September

The United States announced a $600 million aid package for Ukraine, including additional HIMARS ammunition, "tens of thousands" of 105 mm artillery rounds, one thousand 155 mm rounds, counter-drone systems, winter gear, and night vision devices.[26]

16 September

BM-21 missiles and heavy artillery shelled Nikopol, injuring 1 and damaging 11 high-rise buildings, a kindergarten, a school, gas furnaces, and power lines.[27]

17 September

Two people were killed as the result of a rocket attack by Russian forces on residential buildings in the town of Chuhuiv.[28]

18 September

Catherine, Princess of Wales met Olena Zelenska, the first lady of Ukraine, at Buckingham Palace on Sunday.[29]

19 September

Rocket strike near the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant

The Ukrainian Ground Forces recaptured the village of Bilohorivka in Luhansk Oblast during their advance on Lysychansk.[30]

A Russian missile hit the outskirts of the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant, damaging buildings and a neighboring hydroelectric power station. Nuclear reactors were not damaged.[31]

20 September

The Russian State Duma introduced laws prohibiting voluntary surrender and looting, with aggravating circumstances including committing the crime "during mobilization or martial law". Under those circumstances, refusing to obey a superior's order or participate in military action was also made illegal. Penalties for not reporting for military duty, or leaving it without permission, were increased.[32]

The Russian-appointed officials of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics announced referendums to approve their annexation by Russia on 23–27 September.[33][34] Similar referendums were announced by the occupying Russian officials in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.[35][36]

The Council of the EU approved 5 billion euros of macro-financial assistance for Ukraine.[37]

21 September

After a delay in broadcasting[38] Vladimir Putin announces a partial mobilization in his address on the morning of 21 September.

In a prerecorded speech, Vladimir Putin officially announced partial military mobilization to begin immediately. Although Putin's address stated only reservists will be called up, with a focus on reservists with military experience, the official decree allowed for any citizen to be conscripted with exceptions for only age, sickness, and imprisonment status; it was reported that anti-war protesters who had been arrested were being conscripted.[39] Furthermore, militants in the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics will be considered soldiers of the Russian Federation going forward, and the LPR and DPR military units will be reordered according to Russian standards.[40] Defence minister Sergei Shoigu said that 300,000 reservists will be mobilized.[41] Putin also raised the threat of a nuclear response, saying "Russia will use all the instruments at its disposal to counter a threat against its territorial integrity—this is not a bluff".[42]

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia reported that Russia released ten foreign prisoners of war after mediation by Mohammed bin Salman.[43] According to Robert Jenrick, the junior health minister of Britain, Aiden Aslin is among the prisoners released.[44] Viktor Medvedchuk was reportedly freed as part of the deal.[45]

A record high of 215 Ukrainian soldiers, including fighters who led the defence of the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol, have been released in a prisoner exchange with Russia after mediation by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[46] Zelenskyy anounced that, as part of the agreement, five of the freed captives would remain in Turkey in secure but comfortable conditions until the war is over.[47]

23 September

Russian-occupied regions held referendums to join Russia. US President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz referred to them as shams.[48]

In Izium, in the Kharkiv region, the exhumation a mass burial was completed. A total of 436 bodies were recovered, of which thirty had traces of torture.[49]

The Armed Forces of Ukraine reestablished control over the settlement of Yatskivka in the Donetsk region. The settlement is east of the Oskil river, which acts as a front line for a large portion of the eastern front.[50]

26 September

The United Kingdom introduced new sanctions against Russia due to Russia's holding of "pseudo-referendums" in occupied Ukrainian territories. The sanctions list includes 92 individuals and legal entities, including 33 Russian officials sent to the occupied territories of Ukraine as well as 55 top managers of Russian state-owned companies.[51]

27 September

More than 1600 Russian propaganda accounts were taken down by Facebook.[52]

The Armed Forces of Ukraine retook the village of Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi in the Kharkiv region. As of 27 September, up to 6% of the territory of the Kharkiv region remained under occupation.[53]

The results of the referendums in the Russian-occupied territories were announced, all of which were in favor of annexation into Russia, with Donetsk 99.23% in favour, Luhansk 98.42% in favour, Kherson 87.05%, and Zaporizhzhia at 93.11%. There were planned votes in the Mykolaiv and Kharkiv oblasts that never materialized, mainly owing to limited control of territory.[54] As a side effect of these referendums, Russia may now claim that the "very existence of the state is at risk", since much of the war is happening on what it now illegally considers Russian territory. This may be used as justification of using nuclear weapons.[55][56]

Over 194,000 Russian citizens, primarily fighting age men and their families, have left Russia in what has been called a "mass exodus" after the announcement of a draft of 300,000 citizens to fight in the war. Many have gone to Kazakhstan, Serbia, Georgia, and Finland.[57]

28 September

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg attributed the Nord Stream pipeline leaks to acts of sabotage.[58] The next day, the Swedish Coast Guard found a fourth leak on Nord Stream 2.[59]

The Ukrainian police have recorded at least 582 war crimes committed by Russia in the formerly occupied territories of the Kharkiv Oblast.[60]

The United States announced a $1.1 billion aid package to Ukraine,[61] including:[62][non-primary source needed][63][64]

29 September

Finland announced the closure of its borders to Russian citizens at midnight.[65] The Finnish Government deemed that the Russian mobilization and the rapidly increasing volume of tourists arriving in and transiting via the country endanger Finland's international position and relations.[66][67]

Ukraine fully captured Kupiansk. Russian soldiers held positions on the eastern beach of the river Oskil that flows through the city. Exchange of fire happened until the positions had been taken.[68]

Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the sovereignty and independence of Kherson Oblast and Zaporizhzhia Oblast.[69]

30 September

At least thirty civilians died and dozens more were injured in Zaporizhzhia when a Russian missile hit a humanitarian convoy.[70]

Putin held a speech in a so-called "signing ceremony" intended to mark the annexation of Russian-occupied territories in southern and eastern Ukraine. In the speech, Putin announced claims on Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, saying they were now "four new regions" of the Russian Federation.[71] In response, Zelenskyy asked NATO to give Ukraine membership into the military alliance.[72]

October 2022

1 October

Ukrainian troops raised the Ukrainian flag at an entrance to the city of Lyman.[73][74] Russia confirmed that it had lost control of Lyman later that afternoon.[75][76]

Zelenskyy announced that Ukrainian soldiers retook Yampil, a town near Lyman.[77]

Kyiv announced the deaths of 24 citizens, 13 of whom were children, in a Russian strike in Kharkiv.[78]

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov called on Putin to take "more drastic measures", including martial law and the use of low-yield nuclear weapons. This is in response to the Russian withdrawal from Lyman where he placed blame on communication among leadership and supply issues.[79]

2 October

A Ukrainian armoured offensive burst through Russian lines in the south capturing multiple villages along the Dnieper river. This was the biggest Ukrainian advance in the south since the war began.[80]

3 October

It was reported that Russian forces had fled from Nyzhe Zolone, Pidlyman, Nyznya Zhuravka, Borova and Shyikivka in Kharkiv Oblast and that Ukrainian authorities had regained control of those settlements, effectively ending the Russian occupation of Kharkiv Oblast.[81][82]

4 October

According to Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, more than 200,000 people have been called up for military service since Russia announced a "partial mobilization".[83]

Ukrainian forces regained control of numerous settlements north of the Dnieper River in Kherson Oblast including Davydiv Brid, Lyubymivka, Khreshchenivka, Zolota Balka, Bilyaivka, Ukrainka and Velyka Oleksandrivka.[85]

5 October

The pro-Russian deputy head of the Kherson region, Kirill Stremousov, stated that Russian forces were regrouping to strike back at Ukrainian troops; he added that the Ukrainian advance had been "halted" and therefore it was "not possible" for the Ukrainian Army to break through to the city of Kherson.[86] The Russians were seemingly retreating to fortified positions around Nova Kakhovka.[87] Russian officers (but not troops) were reported as withdrawing from Snihurivka.[88]

6 October

According to CNN, unidentified "US intelligence officials" believe that the car bombing of Darya Dugina may have been authorized "by elements within the Ukrainian government".[89]

Ukrainian authorities found two mass graves in Lyman.[90][91]

Russian forces launched seven rockets into apartment buildings in Zaporizhzhia, killing at least three people and wounding twelve others.[92][93] The casualties rose to 17 (including one child) by 9 October.[94][95]

10 October

Russia launched a massive missile strike across the entire territory of Ukraine, including the capital, Kyiv, killing at least 10 civilians.[99][100] Putin said that Russia carried out this attack as revenge for the attack on the Crimean Bridge.[101]

Alexander Lukashenko announced Belarus would form a "joint regional group of forces" with Russia, possibly also joining the war further on.[102] Lukashenko said, "If they touch one metre of our territory then the Crimean Bridge will seem to them like a walk in the park."[103]

12 October

United Nations General Assembly resolution, 12 October 2022

The United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution ES-11/4 by a large majority, calling on countries not to recognise the four regions of Ukraine which Russia has claimed, following so-called referendums held late last month, and demanding that Moscow reverse course on its "attempted illegal annexation". 143 member states voted in favor and 35 abstained, notably China and India. Only Belarus, North Korea, Nicaragua, Russia and Syria voted against the resolution.[104]

13 October

Russian forces launched eight missiles at Mykolaiv, hitting a five-story residential building. One of the victims was an 11-year-old boy.[105][106]

A Ukrainian MiG-29 became the first manned aircraft to be downed by a drone during combat. The pilot claimed to have destroyed a Shahed-136 drone with his cannon, with the resulting blast downing the aircraft and hospitalising the pilot.[107][108]

15 October

Eleven people were killed and 15 others injured after two shooters opened fire on a group of volunteers at a Russian military training ground in Soloti, Belgorod Oblast, near the border with Ukraine. The two attackers were killed during the incident.[109][110]

Ukrainian officials claimed to have found wreckage of multiple HESA Shahed 136 kamikaze drones which struck Kyiv, causing three to four explosions and killing at least 4 people, according to the city's mayor, Vitali Klitschko. Another four were killed in Sumy. This comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin said there was no need for further "large-scale" strikes on Ukraine. According to a Reuters journalist, some drones bore the inscription "For Belgorod". In Mykolaiv the mayor, Oleksandr Senkevich, said sunflower oil tanks caught fire after a drone attack. The Ukrainian Air Force said it intercepted 37 drones.[111][112][113]

A Russian Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bomber crashed into a residential building in the Russian city of Yeysk, causing multiple apartments to catch fire. The pilots managed to eject safely, according to Russian agencies; 13 people were killed and 19 injured in the crash.[114]

18 October

According to Ukrainian officials, Russian forces have struck "critical infrastructure" north of Kyiv and in Zhytomyr, leading to water and power cuts in Zhytomyr. In Kyiv "several explosions" were heard, while in Mykolaiv a person is claimed to have been killed by a missile strike. Dnipro was also attacked. President Zelenskyy claims that over the last 8 days, since 10 October, a third of Ukrainian power stations have been destroyed. He wrote on Twitter: "no space left for negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin's regime."[115][116] In total over the last 10 days Ukrainian national emergency services claim that 70 people were killed, 290 were wounded and 1,162 villages and towns remain without power due to attacks on electrical infrastructure.[117]

In a prisoner swap between Ukraine and Russia, 108 women were freed, including 97 service personnel and 37 Azovstal evacuees.[118]

19 October

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared martial law in the annexed Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts. Russia also introduced an "intermediate level of preparedness" in Crimea and Sevastopol, and in regions bordering Ukraine: Krasnodar Krai and the Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kursk and Rostov Oblasts.[121]
