The UK defense ministry in its intelligence report said in the last 48 hours, Russia’s Eastern Group of Forces (EGF) have likely increased their efforts to advance to the south of Izium.
“Russia has likely attempted to reconstitute EGF after they suffered very heavy casualties in the failed advance on Kyiv, but its units likely remain understrength,” the ministry said.
Moscow's advancement in the Izium axis had been halted since April when Ukrainian forces took advantage of the terrain to stymie Russia's assault.
Russia likely seeks to regain momentum in this area to put “further pressure on Sieverodonetsk, and to give it the option of advancing deeper into the Donetsk Oblast,” the MoD said in a tweet.
