๐ท๐บ attacks so far appear to be methodical & rely heavily on ground-based fires.
-22 ๐ท๐บ battalion tactical groups (BTGs) have reportedly massed in the Izium area for offensive operations.
- Overall, 76 BTGs in Donbas region & in๐บ๐ฆ's southeast (per U.S. DoD).

๐บ๐ฆ forces appear to attempt to disrupt Russian attacks by launching localized counterattacks southeast of Kharkiv in the direction of Kupiansk, an important railroad junction in Kharkiv oblast, in order to disrupt Russian ground lines of communication.

~ 22 ๐ท๐บBTGs around Izium apparently consist of elements of 20th & 35th CAAs/1st GTA plus VDV forces.
Should also add that ๐บ๐ฆpush toward Kupiansk is unlikely given that it would require pushing back ๐ท๐บ frontline in north/northeast of Kharkiv. That's a tough proposition.

Additionally, I should add that most of what has been reported in the last few hours appears to be๐ท๐บ preparatory artillery bombardments (e.g., Russian fire on Ukrainian positions in Donbas last night๐) & localized probing attacks.

U.S. thinks that โlimited offensive operationsโ supported by long-range fires have begun in the Donbas region as a prelude to a larger ๐ท๐บoffensive. ๐
