Situation at the front
According to the evening report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on May 24, there have been 160 combat engagements at the front since the beginning of the day. Military command also reported that the highest number of enemy assaults and attacks were recorded in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove directions.
Yesterday, Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the operational-strategic group of forces Khortytsia, said that Russian occupiers continue their attempts to advance along the border near the Kharkiv region. However, he added that for now, it is mainly an effort to “probe” the defense.
On May 24, the Khortytsia group also released a video showing the destruction of one of the Russian army’s most advanced surface-to-air missile systems, the Buk-M3. Its estimated value is $45 million.
Additionally, according to the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), Russia has a "four-month window" for a breakthrough near Kharkiv, but the chances for the occupiers remain low.
