The actions of the Russian troops indicate that the enemy will continue and intensify the offensive against Slavyansk and Seversk.
Reported by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The statement by the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) that Russia is planning a war for the next 120 days until October 2022, according to ISW, probably indicates that the Kremlin, at a minimum, has admitted that it cannot quickly achieve its goals in Ukraine and continues to adjust.
The institute also concludes that Ukrainian forces need consistent Western support, especially with regard to artillery systems, as Russian numbers and resources increase pressure on Ukrainian forces..
Key conclusions of ISW experts:.
Russian troops continued to conduct ground offensives in the Severodonetsk area, but Ukrainian defenders retain control of the industrial area of \u200b\u200bthe city on June 11.
The invaders probably resumed efforts to cut the T1303 Gorno-Lysichansk highway and launched an unsuccessful assault on settlements along the T1302 Bakhmut-Lysichansk highway.
The invaders continued to storm the settlements to the southwest and southeast of Izyum, trying to resume attacks on Slavyansk.
Ukrainian forces likely resumed counter-offensive northwest of Kherson.
Russian occupation officials issued the first batch of Russian passports in Kherson and Melitopol.
