Various reports from various sources. My comments in italics, I have edited the derogatory references to the enemy (Khokols, pigs, ukrami ... etc) not out of respect or impartiality, just to facilitate understanding.
Summary of Gleb Bazov, 17 September
Oskol River
The Russians are pressing in the border region next to Valuyki, eliminating the Ukrainian elite assault units along the Oskol line, potentially preparing to oust Ukraine from Kupyansk, but they are being pressured in turn in the Studenok/Svyatogorsk area. Near Krasny Liman, the situation is stable, a significant reinforcement of Russian artillery has been introduced.
Along the Oskol line, Russia has brought elite units, which are now slowly beginning to prepare to push the enemy to the west.
In the Ugledar area, the Russians are pressing. Near Krasnogorovka, the 100th Brigade of the DPR is advancing well, near Artyomovsk, Wagner is advancing well.
At the Andreevka bridgehead (Ingulets River), the Ukrainian military mass grave and the equipment junkyard are growing in size every hour.
Stable situation in Zaporozhe and along the northern border.
Summary of Vladislav Ugolny 18 September
Russian troops are making efforts to stabilize various directions. It is reported that the enemy in the Kharkov region is regularly being hit by Russian artillery. The eastern half of Kupyansk is still in Russian hands although under constant cannonade
A dangerous direction for us is the possible offensive of the enemy along Dvurechnaya and Kupyansk in the direction of Svatovo. At the moment, as I understand, elite Russian units have been sent there. They did not take part in the defense of the Balakleya — Primorskoye line, but now their time has come.
She Is Older Than Edda On September 19
The enemy armored group, which was accumulating in the Dvurechnoye settlement in order to deal a decisive blow to our defenses on the Oskol River, was destroyed yesterday by an aircraft or missile attack. There were loud explosions, and the enemy temporarily abandoned the attack in this area. Their losses are heavy.
Ukrainians have suffered significant losses, some even caused by kamikaze drones of Iranian origin. For now, the Ukrainians have not yet withdrawn their shock brigades and have not replaced them with "cannon fodder", so it is possible that they will continue to attack.
Further south, the situation has not yet stabilized. Krasny Liman resists, but little by little she is being enveloped by the flanks. The enemy has also advanced in the direction of Belogorovka and is shelling Lisichansk and its environs. At the moment, there is no evidence that they have Belogorovka in their possession. It is unknown whether they will lead a couple of brigades there to develop the offensive.
From Soledar to Ugledar, our troops are gradually advancing to the west. At the same time, in the Ugledar area, our lines in Ugledar are closed, Ukrainians are also gathering their reserves. Donetsk, Gorlovka, Yasynuvataya and Makeyevka are under fire. The good news is the promotion of Artemovsk
In the direction of Kherson, the Ukrainians are fighting to keep their Andreyevka bridgehead. The situation is currently stable, but the cemetery that the bridgehead has become is no longer receiving reinforcements, neither troops nor material
Summary of Crónica Militar (Military Chronicle) 18 September
Blocking the advance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson region. Details
After the Kh-101 cruise missile strikes on the Karachun Dam on Krivouy Rog and the increased flow of the Ingulets River, the supply of the tactical groups of the Ukrainian battalion at the Andreyevka bridgehead was successfully minimized. In the area of the Andreyevka-Sukhoi Stavok "fire pocket", through which the enemy intended to attack Berislav, units of the 57th brigade and paratroopers of the 46th airmobile brigade were partially blocked.
The destruction of a Ukrainian commando company and a Ukrainian landing force on the Kinburn Peninsula, sent to test the defense of the Russian Armed Forces on the southwestern flank of the Kherson fortified area, put an end to a diversionary attack, which was supposed to withdraw our forces and assets from the Andreyevka bridgehead sector. As a result, the artillery and anti-tank units of the paratroopers and the marine corps remain in their previous positions and beat with their fire the Ukrainian mechanized reserves that are approaching the Andreyevka bridgehead from the western coast of Ingulets. After all, the latter are waiting for a decrease in the river level and the current speed for a second attempt to cross the river and strengthen the offensive potential of the Andreyevka bridgehead.
However, the Ukrainians continue to receive some reinforcements, mortars and Stugna-P anti-tank missiles. This transfer is carried out by occasional flights of Mi-8 military transport helicopters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which arrive on the east bank of Ingulets taking advantage of the brief window of opportunity in which the combat patrols of the Russian Su-35 fighters are absent.
Information about these windows is kindly provided to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the operators of the AWACS aircraft and the Rivet Joint radio reconnaissance aircraft of the US Air Force, which patrol daily in the northeastern part of the Romanian airspace.
Meanwhile, Kiev's attempt to regulate the water level in the river did not lead to anything - the third attack on the water infrastructure in Krivoy Rog raised the level of Ingulets by almost 1 m in just three hours.
Accordingly, the possibility of transferring large volumes of Ukrainian armored vehicles to the eastern shore of Ingulets is excluded in the foreseeable future.
Ukrainian units from Novopoltavka, 10 km to the southwest, were supposed to reinforce the encircled units on SukhoiStavka, but elite units, including two battalions of the 35th Ukrainian Marine Brigade, are about to be cut off due to the rising river.
This channel also has reports on the repression in Kharkov and the fighting in Artemovsk that for their extension I do not reproduce here
Summary of Cassad 19 September

(edited with additional notes from me in italics)
1. Donetsk Sector North in the direction of Avdeyevka, no significant changes, ongoing positional struggles.
2. Donetsk Sector West. In the Maryinka and Ugledar directions - without significant changes.
In previous days the Donetsk Militia has entered Kurahovo and the enemy retains only the last houses in the west of the ruins of Marinka
3. Salient from Donbass, in the direction of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), Wagner volunteers is storming Zaitsevo (control of the village has not yet been confirmed), as well as fortifications near the Artemovsk—Dzerzhinsk highway. There is also a breakthrough in the Artemovsk industrial zone.
4. Street fighting continues in Soledar.
Belogorovka (near the Artemovsk—Lisichansk highway) and Yakovlevka are in the hands of the enemy
It is fought by Spornoye. Then it was reported that the Wagners have counterattacked and recovered the ruins of the village.
The enemy entered Belogorovka (which is near Kremennaya, the attacks on which were repulsed).
5. Yampol and Krasny Liman are in the hands of our troops.
Enemy patrols infiltrate Stary Karavane, Shchurovo, Dibrovo and Yarovaya. Svyatogorsk is still in the gray zone. (no man's land)

7. Positional battles and shelling continue on the border of the Kharkov and Belgorod regions. There is no significant progress here. It is quite obvious that the intensity of attacks in the border areas can be reduced only by returning the northern part of the Kharkov region under control.
8. In the Nikolayev and Krivoy Rog directions without significant changes. Positional battles are still ongoing in the Posad-Pokrovsky area and the Andreyevka bridgehead on the Ingulets River.

We receive deliveries with a lot of ammunition, aviation is very active, and new drones are also attacking. The air defense system is also working, 6 missiles were shot down today.
In addition, our infantry arrived. The mood is excellent, everyone in the East, do not be discouraged! The victory will be ours in any case!»

The armed forces of Ukraine continue unsuccessful attempts to advance in the direction of Kherson. In the area of the village of Ternovye Pody of the Nikolaev region, the enemy launched significant forces to attack the positions of the Allied forces.
The fighters of the Russian army and the units of the Donetsk Militia mobile reserve, with the support of tanks and artillery, destroyed one BMP armored car of the enemy and a large number of enemy soldiers, another BMP, suffered minor damage and was captured by our fighters as a trophy.
The officer and the doctor of the 24 brigade were captured by the decisive actions of the DPR military. In captivity they received medical care. As it became known from the interrogation of the prisoners and the examination of their documents, the sergeant major of the armed forces of Ukraine, Sova Mikhail Ivanovich, born in 1974, was declared fit for military service and called up for mobilization on February 25, despite being mutilated by missing two fingers on his right hand.

About the shelling of Donetsk,

Igor Strelkov
Today, the gunners of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (and any soldier and, especially, the officers of this mercenary native army of the United States) can be proud: it has been a long time since they managed to attack the civilian population of Donetsk so successfully. If on Sunday they managed to kill only 9 Donetsk civilians with several hits and injure 13 more, today, with a single 155-mm shell (kindly supplied by NATO), 13 people were killed (and many more were seriously injured).
The coup was precisely on a strategic military object - the jam shop on Baku Commissars Square 26. Blood flows in rivulets on the asphalt, body parts are scattered for tens of meters. What else could be more pleasant for the "envious of Ukraine" than a mass murder of Russian residents of Donetsk? Congratulations to them (and their American hosts) on this outstanding military success! And, of course, I also congratulate you on the fact that this is never a "red line": for 8 and a half years, it has been empirically established that it has no place in the Donbass (and recently it turned out that even Belgorod is far from it).
