ISW: Ukraine’s recapture of Izium puts stop to Russia’s plans in Donetsk Oblast

0 min read

According to the Institute for the Study of War, Russia can no longer advance on Bakhmut or Donetsk from the north, meaning any advances towards the cities “have lost any real operational significance.” Using HIMARS and other Western weapons, Ukraine was able to inflict major operational losses on Russia and recapture most of Kharkiv Oblast, the ISW said. The ISW report noted that the counteroffensive in Kherson Oblast is still making gains along the Dnipro River.
