Luhansk direction:
On 10 February, the occupiers continued their offensive operations northwest of Svatove.
The occupiers are likely concentrating forces northwest of Svatovo and likely intend to seize Dvurechnoye in the coming weeks. The settlement is located at the intersection of the P79 highway leading southwest to Kupyansk and the T2114 highway leading northwest to Veliky Burluk, according to the Institute report.
Russian forces continued offensive operations near Kreminna. According to Russian bloggers, the occupants continue positional offensive operations near Bilohorivka (12 km south of Kreminna). However, the ISW has not recorded any visual confirmation of the presence of Russian forces in Bilohorivka.
