Background:

• Earlier, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) noted that by intensifying operations on the Kupiansk front, the Russians are trying to draw the reserves of Ukraine's Defence Forces away from critical areas of the front; however, experts believe that the invaders will not be able to make an operationally significant breakthrough.
