Data on the transition of the northern part of the city of Izyum under the control of Russian troops have been confirmed
There is information about the state of affairs in the city of Izyum, Kharkiv region, where a large grouping of Ukrainian troops was concentrated. By and large, it was a kind of base of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for another large grouping of troops - in the area of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.
A few days ago, Russian troops, having actually blocked the Izyum contingent of the Ukrainian army, bypassed the city and went on the offensive towards Barvenkovo. However, this led to strikes in the rear of Russian troops. Without the liquidation of Ukrainian troops in Izyum itself, an operation in this direction promised great risks.
On the eve of the Ukrainian troops from the Slavic direction tried to counterattack the Russian troops in the area of Izyum with a simultaneous attempt to release the Izyum garrison. However, the counterattack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was repulsed, the assault groups of Ukrainian troops suffered losses, the remnants retreated again to the Slavyansk region.
Having developed their success, the Russian troops advanced already in the city of Izyum itself, occupying its entire northern part and gaining a foothold in it. The Ukrainian contingent is trying with all its might to keep the last frontier for itself, passing along the Seversky Donets River. This river divides the city into two unequal parts. In the southern (smaller) part of Izyum, Ukrainian armed formations are located.
The information that the entire northern part of Izyum has come under the control of the Russian Armed Forces is confirmed by residents of the city and several Ukrainian media. Previously, the control of most of Izyum by the Russian army was not confirmed by sources.
It is known that the Ukrainian armed formations strike from the southern part of the city on its northern part, making attempts to stop the Russian advance.
