Britain says Russia deploys 22 battalion tactical groups near Izium

Russia has deployed 22 battalion tactical groups near Ukraine's eastern city of Izium in an effort to advance along the northern axis of the Donbas region, Britain said https://twitter.com/DefenceHQ/status/1521710786497982467?s=20&t=813c3rIUOjESJfSc4KbNVA on Wednesday.
