from the north and the Russian assault does not stop for a moment The Russian army has not yet entered armored vehicles The Russian army began its assault on Toretsk five months ago The fighting is taking place in the city itself the front line passes somewhere in the center of the city It can be said that it is already divided in half - by the enemy and by us And the positions of the parties may be in adjacent rooms of the same house the Russians are operating at the level of a motorized rifle brigade without caring about the casualties they inflict The Russian occupiers are paying particular attention to destroying taller buildings which forces the Ukrainian defenders to retreat to the next cover and take up new positions DeepState also notes the Russian army's progress in Kurakhovo the Russian army began an assault on the eastern cities of Selidovo Kurakhovo and Toretsk in a clear attempt to reach the administrative borders of Donetsk by the end of the year or at least by the inauguration of US President Donald Trump and thus secure a more serious position when launching some negotiation efforts Even the Ukrainian invasion of the Kursk region in August 2024 failed to divert the Russian army from this goal and Moscow continues to insist on holding peace talks based on the "new realities" Russia also used scorched earth tactics in the capture of Bakhmut which was the responsibility of the battalions of the "Wagner" PMC and Avdiivka - cities that the Ukrainians had turned into serious fortifications in their attempt to stop the Russian advance in Eastern Ukraine The Russian army is also making progress in the Kharkiv region where the front line runs practically about 2 kilometers from the center of Kupyansk This was confirmed by the head of the Ukrainian regional administration who stated that the Russians are hitting the settlements and outskirts of Kupyansk with all possible means where there has never been any military infrastructure 3,300 civilians remain in the Kupyansk region 900 of them are on the left bank of the community where there has been no infrastructure for three months Civilian infrastructure remains on the right bank of the Oskol River and government services and agencies are operating Ukraine forcibly evacuated the Borovka municipality Russian forces occupied Kupyansk in the early days of their invasion in 2022 but were pushed out by a lightning-fast Ukrainian counteroffensive in September of that year Moscow's forces have been slowly advancing back towards the city and are now less than 4 km from its northern outskirts The army of the Russian Federation targeted 9 settlements: the cities of Krasnogorovka 18 civilian objects were damaged — 12 residential buildings Russia dropped the guided air bomb “KAB-500" on a five-story building in Ocheretyne There are probably people under the rubble of the building two people died as a result of an airstrike The invaders fired on Novoselidivka from the “Uragan” RSA -

Kalynivka directly towards the eastern neighborhood of the city known as Kanal and along the T0504 (N-32) road from Ivanivske The intermediate objective of the adversary in the city is to reach the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas canal which runs through its eastern part from north to south One of the locations south of the city where the watercourse intersects with the T0504 (N-32) road is a focal point the Russians seek to break through from the direction of Klishchiivka and Andriivka the adversary seems inclined towards a familiar tactic - encircling Ukrainian defense positions from the flanks they have not been entirely successful in this endeavor yet the enemy is resorting to frontal assaults in the eastern part of the city which simultaneously increase their casualties Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has said that the occupation army has been ordered to capture Chasiv Yar by May 9 even before the decision of the Congress regarding aid to Ukraine Defense officials believed that the risk of losing Chasiv Yar by the end of May was considerable considering that our units on the frontline are expected to receive reinforcements in terms of weaponry and For the enemy advancing towards the Kramatorsk conurbation would be problematic without addressing another task - seizing the Siversk area which is essentially wedged into the Russian defense lines The fact that they are indeed considering such plans is evidenced by their increased activity towards Bilohorivka Avdiivka-Pokrovsk direction: Threat to three areas The adversary aims to reach and consolidate positions along the Keramik - Ocheretyne - Umanske line on this front the occupiers are advancing on several populated areas along a 20-kilometer stretch the enemy is attempting to maintain the momentum of their advance on this front apparently fearing that additional time will allow for the reinforcement of Ukrainian defenses breaching these defenses after a pause may become increasingly challenging The greatest pressure from the Russian army falls on the village of Ocheretyne where battles are raging and the enemy has managed to capture the local railway station the Russian daily advancement here measures in hundreds of meters The objective of the occupiers in this area is to advance either towards Pokrovsk or towards the T0504 (N-32) highway It is quite likely that the Russians will opt for both options simultaneously Both align with the general logic of the enemy's actions on other operational axes - farther north in the area of Chasiv Yar and farther south in the Maryinka-Kurakhove area From the Pokrovsk direction, the Russians could pose a threat of encircling Kurakhove and Vuhledar from the north, as well as reaching the outskirts of Kostiantynivka - part of the Kramatorsk conurbation creating a risk of semi-encirclement of the Toretsk defense district from the southwest capturing Ocheretyne alone is insufficient for this purpose - the enemy needs to break through here with a broader front to mitigate the risk of flanking attacks from Ukrainian forces the occupiers are attempting simultaneous advances towards Novokalynove Maryinka Direction: Kurakhovo and Vuhledar the Russians are also attempting to advance on several populated areas simultaneously - Krasnohorivka and farther north from Pervomaiske to Nevelske Novomykhailivka village is almost entirely occupied by the Russians the next target for the enemy in this area will likely be Kostiantynivka village Battles are already ongoing in Krasnohorivka but the enemy has not yet managed to break through in Heorhiivka The key objective for the Russians on this front is an attempt to encircle the town of Kurakhove would pave the way for an advance towards the town of Vuhledar from the north A more overarching goal is the "clearing out" of the entire Vuhledar "encroachment" of Ukrainian forces The increased Russian activity near Vuhledar Previous attempts by the occupiers to advance on this town only from the south have ended in defeat All described tasks are not easy for the Russians and are not inevitable The main reason for the relatively swift advancement of the enemy on the Pokrovsk direction after the occupation of Avdiivka is the shortage of ammunition and combat kits for air defense in Ukrainian forces the situation regarding ammunition is expected to improve And this should somewhat stabilize the front line in the coming weeks Russian forces are noticeably getting exhausted as well they are trying to exploit our equipment gap as much as possible before more active assistance begins to arrive from partners it will become very problematic for them to advance simultaneously on several operational axes.
