Ukrainian soldiers recaptured more Ukrainian territory in five days than Russian soldiers have occupied since April. This was stated by American experts, who were referred to by the DPA news agency. “The liberation of the city of Izium will be the most significant achievement of the Ukrainian army since its victory in the battle for Kiev in March,” the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said in an analysis of the situation in Ukraine on Sunday. Izium is located in the Kharkiv region in the north of Ukraine. This means that Russia’s planned advance in the Donbas region from the north is thwarted, the experts wrote.
