British intelligence has called the control of the E40 highway, which links Donetsk to Kharkiv, an apparently important objective for Russia.
"Fires from Izium continue to focus along the axis of the E40 main road. Control of the E40, which links Donetsk to Kharkiv, is likely to be an important objective for Russia as it attempts to advance through Donetsk Oblast," the British Ministry of Defence released its latest intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine on Twitter.
As noted, Russian artillery continues to strike Sloviansk area of Donbas from around Izium to the north and near Lysychansk to the east.
“Russian forces have likely made some further small territorial advances around Popasna,” reads the report.
As reported, one person was killed and two more were injured as the Russian invaders shelled Izium, Bohodukhiv, Chuhuiv, and Kharkiv districts over the past day.
