The Russian army developed very quickly on both north and south flanks in the city of Krasnogorivka, pushing about 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers into a surrounded position.


Ukraine shows signs of retreat in some places in Kupyansk

Readovka channel reported that in the direction of Kupyansk, Russian troops penetrated Berestovoe and completed control of this settlement, opening a direct path to a breakthrough to the banks of the Oskol River and threatening the logistics of the group of Ukrainian forces. Russian units plan to approach the river south of Kovsharovka, in the area of ​​​​the villages of Kolesnikovka and Kruglykovka. Now daily battles continue to take place near Berestovoe.


The Ukrainian army tried to resist and organize a counterattack, but because they were exhausted, they could not improve the situation. Moscow forces are moving towards seizing the most important railway line and resolving the entire defense system around the Kupyansk metropolitan area.

Russia's control of the railway lines at the most important logistics center will mean cutting off supplies to the enemy group in this area and it is inevitable that Ukraine will have to flee from its positions. out.

Sputnik reported that Moscow forces achieved new successes in the Kharkov region by breaking through enemy defenses and gaining control of settlements in the direction of Kupyansk.


Accordingly, the fall of Kislovka and Kotlyarovka significantly complicated the defense of Kiev forces in the southeast of the Kupyansk front. The situation is even more serious when the defense brigades in this area are beaten to pieces because the Ukrainian command is mobilizing the best units from all directions to protect Chasov Yar and prevent the Russian breakthrough in Ocheretino area

The Russian army has a favorable opportunity to tighten the siege of Kupyansk from the southeast. Currently their soldiers close in on the outskirts of this important city from the village of Sinkovka. Moscow's offensive in the Kupyansk direction will help attract enemy reserves. In addition, it will present the Ukrainian Command with a choice: send troops back to defend Kupyansk or continue to lose territories near Chasov Yar and Ocheretino


The Ukrainian line at Avdiivka collapsed, and Umanske fell

Rybar channel reported that in the direction of Avdiivka, Moscow forces actively tried to achieve success in a number of areas, including places that had been covered in the "fog of war" for some time. Updated developments show that the enemy's defense at the front has crumbled, many villages are controlled by Russia and the latest is Umanske.

During the day, video footage appeared online of the Russian flag being raised on a monument in the northern center of Umanske. By the end of May 9, there were reports that the village was completely under control.



At the same time, between Umanske and Orlivka, south of highway C051801, there is a fortified area extending about 2 km, which, given the configuration of the front line, is most likely also under the control of the Russian army because if failing to capture it, entering the settlement would be quite a difficult task.

Further south, in Netailovo, a reduction in the concentration of Ukrainian manpower was noted. The reason why, whether due to lack of reinforcements or Kiev deciding to withdraw, is currently difficult to say. According to the latest information, Russian troops are fighting fiercely in the center of the settlement.


In the northern sector, in the Arkhangelske area, Moscow units are consolidating on previously occupied lines, continuing to clear the western sector of the settlement. They did not encounter any enemy counterattacks in the past day.


According to the Suriyakmaps channel, west of Avdivka and northwest of the city of Donetsk, Russian troops captured the entire eastern defense line of Umanske and occupied almost the entire village. In addition, their soldiers also advanced to the Yasnobrodivka - Neatilove road and controlled a series of positions there. Additionally, Moscow forces continued to manhandle the salient south of Pervomaiske.


Military Summary channel confirmed that Russian troops continued to advance west of Avdiivka, capturing the village of Umanske.
