Analysts of the Institute of War Study (ISW) write about it. The department noted that the Russian army was hardly achieving specific successes in the Siversk district and did not make any advancement to the city since the capture of the Luhansk region in early July. "Therefore, the Russian command is probably seeking to maintain the pace of the offensive in the Bakhmut area, perhaps due to the continuation of pressure on Siversk.
The capture of Bakhmut himself remains unlikely, despite the recent gradual promotion in this direction," the ISW said. We will remind, on July 28 in ISW told that Russian troops have forces for the offensive in two directions in the Donbass - in Siversk and Bakhmut. After the operational pause of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they could not keep the previous pace of the offensive.
