Russian troops continue to attack in Kharkiv Oblast, making some progress and capturing the villages of Morokhovets, Zelene, and Oliinikove during May 12. This brings them closer to Vovchansk.
Information about this came from the DeepState portal, which also published an updated map of the conflict. According to their data, the Russian army is now heading to the village of Liptsi. At the same time, active battles for Lukyantsi continue, and the enemy is also trying to gain a foothold in Hlyboky. 
It is noted that the Ukrainian forces defending this direction are doing everything possible to restrain the aggressor. They use FPV drones and artillery to defeat enemy infantry and repel Russian troops. However, the situation remains tense.
DeepState also reported that Russian forces have recorded progress in many frontline areas and are now trying to consolidate their positions for further offensives. They intensified the shelling of populated areas in order to create additional reserves.
The Ukrainian defense in the Kharkiv region is facing considerable resistance. Russian troops transferred additional forces and equipment to this direction, including fighters from Africa. According to some reports, an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group has already broken into the city, due to the fact that the front was not properly organized.
The information that the 125th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has left its positions in Kharkiv Oblast was denied by the army leadership, which confirmed that the soldiers continue to perform their duties. Oleg Sinegubov, the head of the Kharkiv OVA, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to stabilize the front line.
