Frontline situation
According to the Ukrainian military, several signs point to a reduction in the enemy's offensive capabilities — reduced use of strike assets and a slower pace of advance despite a high number of attacks. During the spring offensive, the Russians have unsuccessfully tried to advance in the Lyman and Kupiansk directions, while in the Velykyi Burluk direction, they are already retreating.
On the night of May 27, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Tuapse oil refinery. They also fired Storm Shadow missiles at the software and hardware complex of the Russian Air Force's automated reconnaissance systems.
