ISW, the Institute for the Study of War, is an American think tank based in Washington, D.C., founded in May 2007. Its analysts publish daily assessments of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
In autumn 2023 ISW tracked the Ukrainian counteroffensive near Robotyne and Verbove in Zaporizhzhia region and near Bakhmut. In January 2024 it said Russia was using the Il-76 crash to sow discontent in Ukraine, and in May 2024 it reported that Russia had slowed its offensive in Kharkiv region and was creating a buffer zone.
