Battle of Izium (2022)
Sometime between 15 and 16 March, Russian soldiers took the southern part of Izium.  Ukrainian forces took it back soon after. On 17 March, the US Department of Defense said that Izium was once again taken by Russian forces. This was denied by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). The Russian military went over the river Donets near the Barvinkivsky Highway. They were stopped by Ukrainian forces after being ambushed. Fighting continued the next day.
