Russian army in Kupiansk direction has moved forward, is regrouping and intensifying its attacks, - ISW
In the Kupiansk sector, Russian troops continued ground attacks along the Kupiansk-Svatove-Kreminna line and are completing the regrouping of forces. Geo-location footage shows Russian troops advancing east of Synkivka, so they may soon increase the pace of offensive operations in the area.
This was written by analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Censor.NET reports.
A Russian military blogger claimed that Russian troops had made some progress in the area of Serebrianka Forest (10km southwest of Kreminna), although ISW found no visual evidence of this claim.
Ukraine's General Staff reported that Russian troops unsuccessfully attacked near Synkivka and Ivanivka (20 km southeast of Kupiansk), northeast and east of Petropavlivka (7 km east of Kupiansk), and in the direction of Siversk (19 km south of Kreminna).
In addition, Ukrainian military observer Kostiantyn Mashovets estimated that Russian troops in the Kupiansk sector are completing the regrouping of forces and may soon increase the pace of offensive actions in the area.
