UK Defence Intelligence has suggested that the intensification of Russian actions on the Slobozhanshchyna front proves Moscow's strong interest in maintaining and potentially securing new ground in the area.

Details: The UK MoD noted that there has recently been an intensification of artillery attacks and presumably small-group assaults by Russian forces in Kharkiv and Luhansk oblasts, the northern part of the frontline. However, Russian disinformation is complicating understanding of what is happening.
Quote: "Russia has likely only achieved marginal gains, but its renewed activity in the north highlights its importance to the Kremlin, when it is concurrently facing significant pressure in the southern Zaporizhzhia sector.
Russia’s Western Group of Forces is likely trying to advance back to the Oskil River in order to create a buffer zone around Luhansk Oblast, the possession of which Russia almost certainly considers one of its fundamental objectives of the war."
