Plans of the invaders in Donbas
The Institute for the Study of War reports Russian occupants are firing artillery to the west and northwest of Izyum. And this may mean that Ukrainian troops are conducting a counteroffensive in that direction. If the counteroffensive north of Izyum is confirmed, it means the Ukrainian military wants to "break the Russian lines of communication in the area of Izyum and Liman." That is, to take back control of the populated areas.
At the same time, the Russians continue to storm Severodonetsk. They are trying to establish control over the city. Alexei Gromov, deputy head of the Main Operational Staff, said that Ukrainian troops continue to resist. They are stopping the Russian occupants near Metelkino and Sirotino, southeast of Severodonetsk.
