The Russian occupiers continue their offensive in Donetsk region, occupying the village of Umanske in the Pokrovsky district. This direction is the hottest on the front line.
This was reported by the DeepState portal on May 26, publishing an updated map. According to their information, the Russian army also had success in Ivanovka.
"The enemy occupied Umansk and advanced in Ivanovka," the report says. Russian troops continue their offensive, seeking to capture as much territory as possible in Ukraine. Since the beginning of 2024, Russia has captured almost 100 square kilometers more than in the last three months of 2023. The reason is the lack of weapons in the Armed Forces.
Only in April, about six villages in the Donetsk direction came under the control of the Russian Federation. Analysts of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said that Russia's achievements in Ocheretino presented the Russian command with a choice: to continue the offensive to the west in the direction of Pokrovsk or to advance north in the direction of Chasovoy Yar.
Also, during the offensive in the Kharkiv region, the Russians captured more than ten villages. The military columnist of the German edition of Bild, Julian Ripke, claims that in early May, the enemy attacked the positions of the Defense Forces in two places in the north of the region.
In general, experts note that the Russian Federation seized more territory during the spring offensive than Ukraine liberated during the 2023 counteroffensive. ISW predicted how far the offensive of the Russian Federation would advance in the summer and when we should expect a counteroffensive of the Armed Forces.
