Russian forces had fought hard to capture Izium early in the war.

It was used as the logistics base for one of their main campaigns - a months-long assault from the north on the adjacent Donbas region.

The Russian defeat could prove to be a decisive turning point in the six-month war, with thousands of Russian soldiers abandoning their ammunition stockpiles and equipment as they flee.
