Russia is probably preparing for an intensive attack on the direction of Kupyansk-Liman. This is stated in the daily report of the British Ministry of Defense, published on August 26 on Twitter.

The counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces increased pressure on Russian troops in Bakhmut and southern Ukraine. Despite this, the occupiers continued to carry out “small-scale attacks” in the northeast, in the Kupyansk-Liman sector, and carried out some limited local offensives.
As Ukraine continues to gradually retake positions in the south, Russian doctrine suggests that the Russian occupying army will try to regain the initiative by moving to operational-level offensive actions.
Kupyansk-Liman is one of the potential destinations for this, according to British intelligence.
They do not rule out an increase in the intensity of hostilities over the next two months. The probable goal of the enemy is to move west to the Oskol River and create a buffer zone around the Lugansk region.
Recall that the invaders stepped up their offensive in the Kupyansk and Liman directions. However, the armed forces of Ukraine reflect the attacks of the enemy. According to the latest information from the General Staff, the invaders do not leave their intentions to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, therefore they continue the assaults, and also regroup.
