Russia advances at the front
Russian forces have intensified their attacks on the frontlines in recent months. Occupiers are advancing in the area of Avdiivka, which they managed to capture (Pokrovsk direction).
Furthermore, Russians are attempting to seize the city of Chasiv Yar. This would open up a path for them towards the Kramatorsk agglomeration.
Additionally, since May 10, invaders have launched an offensive in the northern part of the Kharkiv region. The Russians have not made significant progress into the region. However, according to Ukrainian military reports, this is an attempt by the occupiers to stretch the defenses of Ukraine.
Over the past day, there have been 170 combat engagements on the frontlines, resulting in the enemy losing over 1,000 soldiers.
