Ukrainian military attacks in the Izyum region are trying to divert the attention of Russian troops advancing into the Donbass.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine is conducting a counter-offensive northwest of Izyum, possibly to divert Russian troops from attacking Slovyansk, according to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

Analysts also believe that Ukrainian troops seek to disrupt enemy supply lines.
The ISW said the UAF had achieved little success in this counter-offensive.
Also, British intelligence tells about the situation in the direction of Izyum.
According to them, over the past two days, Russian troops have continued their offensive efforts south of Izyum with the aim of deepening the Donetsk region and encircling the area around Severodonetsk from the north.
“Russia has a precedent, both earlier in the campaign in Ukraine and in Syria, of using unilaterally declared‘ humanitarian ’corridors as a mechanism to manipulate the war space and force the displacement of populations,” the statement said.
According to the summary of the General Staff, the occupiers continue to unsuccessfully conduct an offensive in the Donbass, causing losses.
