In a rapid counter-offensive, Ukraine seized the town of Izium in what is being seen as a major setback for Russia in the Kharkiv region.
About:
Izuim had fallen to the Russians on April 1, and has been recaptured over six months later.
Izium is considered the gateway to Donbas region, a Russian-speaking area whose complete capture has been Russia’s key war aim since the beginning of the conflict. It is considered a passage to the Black Sea, and thus referred to as the Izium passage by the Russians.
With this, Ukraine is back in control of two key logistics centres. Kupiansk was the major railway station supplying Izium formations.
