The situation at the front
On the Sumy direction, it is reported about the expansion of the control zone of the Russian military to the north of Sumy.
Russian military enblogger Anatoly Radov Confirmsthat the Russian Armed Forces control Korczakovka and Malaya Korcakovka north of Sumy and continue the offensive. On the map Deep State both settlements shown as controlled SOU.
In the Kharkiv direction, attacks by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the flanks of the bridgehead in the Volchansk area are being announced.
“Voenkor” Yuri Kotenok reports that Russian forces are attacking in the area of Volchansk, where they knocked out the enemy from Rybaltina (until 2025 – Rybalkino), Karaichnaya and Budarok and fight for Okhrimovka and Losevka (until 2016 – Proletarskoe). DeepState does not note Russian offensive activity in the area of these settlements.
In the Kubyan direction, Russian fighters still maintain a presence in the northern part of Kupyansk.
Pro-Russian OSINT-Channel “Creaming Whirlpool” drew attention on the Ukrainian video of strikes on the positions of the Russian military in the area of the bakery in the north-western part of Kupyansk. Ukrainian military observer Konstantin Mashovets tells (1, 2, 3) that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation attack the Ukrainian bridgehead on the left (eastern) bank of Oskol, and the main onslaught is observed in its northern and eastern part. According to Mashovets, the Russian command plans to break into the eastern part of Kupyansk and Kupyansk-Uzlova, cut the bridgehead into several units and destroy the Ukrainian group, but is still far from the fulfillment of this task.
According to Mashovets, in the northern part of the bridgehead, Russian troops advanced 4.5-4.7 km in 1.5-2 months, captured Sennikovka, but could not gain a foothold in Kupyansk. In the eastern part of the bridgehead, the Russian Armed Forces overcame 5.4-5.5 km and entrenched on the outskirts of Kurilovka and Kovsharovka for the same period, but they failed to take them and continue the offensive on Kupyansk-Uzlova, the observer says. Nevertheless, according to him, the Russian military continues “Sit down” in the direction of Kupyansk and Kupyansk-Uzlovyyyut, and in the southern part of the bridgehead were able to advance by 300-500 m.
According to the observer, the Russian Armed Forces seek to eliminate the Ukrainian project in the area of Borovoy and go to Oskol on a wide front, but they fail, since the main forces of the Russian group of troops “West” are concentrated in the Kubyan and �muna directions, so the group operating in the area of Borovoy is not able to ensure the density of the combat orders necessary for the offensive. Recently, according to Mashovets, they managed only to reach Oskol on the Novoplatonovka-Bo Boguslavka and start fighting for Kopanka, but there are no significant success in promoting Borovaya and Sheykovka.
In the Konstantin direction, partial withdrawal of Ukrainian units from Konstantinovka is recorded.
Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated about the capture of Tikhonovka to the east of Kramatorsk. According to Map DeepState, this village is almost completely controlled by Ukrainian forces, and only its eastern outskirts is in “Grey Zone”.
Russian military, leading Telegram-channel “Temny”, Confirmsthat the Ukrainian defense in Konstantinovka “lost integrity”, and the Russian military took the road from the city to Druzhkovka under “visual control”. He reports that the whole city is a combat zone without a clear LBS, and part of the Ukrainian units went to the neighboring Aleksevo-Druzhkovka, but at the same time predicts Ukrainian counterattacks to stabilize the situation.
The researcher under the nickname Playra, on the contrary, отмечаетnotes that despite the geo-tegations of the Russian military in the city center, the SLCMs still have “overwhelming superiority” in the number of controlled positions throughout Konstantinovka and even to the south of it. According to him, now the Russian Armed Forces are trying to cover these positions and force the parts to be held, but this operation is still at an early stage, and the fights for Konstantinovka, according to his forecast, will be delayed until late summer.
In the defense direction, the Russian military is trying to advance to the west of Pokrovsk (until 2016 – Krasnoarmeysk).
Yuri Kotenok claims that the Russian Armed Forces occupied Novopodgorodnoye and are fighting for Sergeevka to the west of Pokrovsk. According to DeepState, both settlements are controlled by SOU.
In the south-Donetsk direction, Ukrainian troops continue counterattacking operations on a section with a width of 20 km.
According to Kotenka, the Russian military occupied Lesnoy in the Dnipropetrovsk region and opened their way to Velikomikhailovka. DeepState does not confirm this information.
Ukrainian military observer Bogdan Miroshnikov уточняетclarifies that Ukrainian counterattacks at the junction of Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions have taken place since the end of April and that active actions continue there and now. At the same time, he urges not to call them a “counteroffensive”, although he does not exclude further success of the SSO.
According to Analysis OSINT-resource Unit Observer, counterattacks are carried out by the 79th, 80 and 95 Brigades DSHV on a section wide 20 km from Green Guy to the Crow. Analysts note the weakness of the positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in this area, where the front is held by only two motorized rifle regiments. Moreover, according to them, there is a junction of the Russian groups “Vostok” and “Center”, and there are indications that individual units of the 90-th tank division from the latter were recently transferred from this area near Pokrovsk.
The user under the nickname richardzai made a geo-tight of the Russian strike on the Ukrainian position in the village of Ternovoye in the Zaporizhzhya region. According to DeepState, this settlement is under the control of the SSO, with the exception of the “gray zone” on the south-eastern outskirts.
In the Zaporozhye direction, the units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are moving from the east in the direction of Orekhov.
“Creamy whim” came to the conclusion that the Russian Armed Forces advanced to a distance of 3.5 km from the border Charivnoye – Lugovskoye in the direction of Orekhov, performing the geo-reference of the personnel of Ukrainian strikes on the Russian infantry. On картеthe map of Deep States Charivne is marked as mainly controlled by the SOU, Lugovskoye – the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (together with this, there is a “gray zone”). Yuri Kotenok, in turn, reports 1(1, 22) that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are fighting for Gulyaipolskoye (until 2016 – Komsomolsk) and Novoselovka (DeepState refers both villages to the Ukrainian zone of control).
In the Kherson direction, the Ukrainian military mastered the launches of drones from sea drones.
In the Ukrainian 40 Obrmampus showed Footage of launches FPV-drones c BEC “Barracuda” on Russian positions in the Kherson region.
DeepState estimated that May was the most unsuccessful month for the Russian Armed Forces since the beginning of the offensive in October 2023. Analysts note that according to the information recorded on their map on June 1, the increase in the area of the occupied territory was only 14 square kilometers per month, and taking into account data that are not yet displayed on the map, this figure for the first time since the Ukrainian counteroffensive of the summer of 2023 has become negative, despite the growth in the number of Russian attacks by 37.5%.

The Insider published an article dedicated to the analysis of the fake of Russian official propaganda that the Russian Armed Forces allegedly do not strike at civilian objects of Ukraine and hit exclusively military targets. This narrative has been regularly repeated since the beginning of a full-scale invasion, despite numerous documented cases of damage to residential buildings, hospitals, shopping centers, railway stations and other civilian infrastructure.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported on the reflection of the following air raids:
During the day on May 29, 24 drones were intercepted over the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Rostov regions and the Black Sea
on the night of May 30, 127 UAVs were destroyed over the Belgorod, Bryansk, Volgograd, Voronezh, Kursk, Orel, Rostov, Ryazan, Smolensk, Tula, Ulyanovsk regions, Krasnodar Territory, the Crimean Peninsula and the Aquatoria of the Azov Sea
During the day of May 30, 19 drones were intercepted over the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kaluga, Kursk, Rostov, Smolensk regions and the Crimean peninsula
on the night of May 31, 216 UAVs were destroyed over the Belgorod, Bryansk, Volgograd, Voronezh, Kursk, Lipetsk, Orel, Rostov, Saratov regions, Krasnodar Territory, the Crimean Peninsula and the water area of the Azov Sea
During the day on May 31, 23 drones were intercepted over the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk regions and the waters of the Sea of Azov
on the night of June 1, 72 UAVs were destroyed over the Belgorod, Bryansk, Volgograd, Voronezh, Kursk, Rostov regions, the Crimean Peninsula and the Black SeaSSC started remotely to mine the “land corridor” in the Crimea. “Governor” of the occupied part of the Kherson region Vladimir Saldo reportedthat in the early morning of May 29, the drone Baba Yaga dropped mines on the roadway and at the side of the road on the section of the highway “Novorossia” near the border of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. The blow fell on the KAMAZ truck, the driver was killed. After the incident, the section of the route was closed. Mines “work on traffic, so pose a mortal danger to civilian transport,” wrote Saldo. On the second mined section of the land corridor to the Crimea on the section of the Mariupol-Berdyansk highway, a civilian heavy load burned down as a result of a collision. wrote “Voenkor” Vladimir Romanov.
“The R-280 track is of strategic importance. A land bridge to the Crimea goes through it, the Vostok and Dnipro groups are supplied to it. And now the enemy reaches out to her.” Destroyed “Venction” Alexander Kots. “The mass use of mines on the roads threatens with transport collapse and the closure of highways is much more likely than just targeted strikes of kamikaze drones on cars.” added Z-channel “Military Informant”. “Don’t be upset, because you showed us how to do it with the Shaheds.” parrying Sergey “Flesh” Assembles. Previously he wrote on cases of resetting by the Shahedi min PTM-3.
In addition to the Baba-yaga, FP-2 drones are used to mine roads, the chief designer and co-owner of the Ukrainian company Fire Point Denis Stilerman reports. On the UAV, 23cassette blocks for remote mining are installed on the UAV (for FP-2) or for 10 minutes (for “Baby-yaga”). The mine weighs 400-500 g and works when hit by it.
Due to the mine threat and the high concentration of drones in the sky, the “authorities” of the occupied part of the Zaporozhye region were asked to limit the movement on the Novorossiya highway. “Working Mobile and fire groups, the movement of the UAV is fixed on the approach, but their number is significant. reported “Governor” Evgeny Balitsky on May 29. The next day he wrotethat traffic on the highway in the direction of Crimea and Donetsk region is carried out in the normal mode.
According to the head of the “Center for the Study of Occupation” Pyotr Andryushchenko, the occupation “authorities” were forced to close the road on the section of Mangush-Berdyansk for civil transport, which is now forced to move around the route Mangush-Urzuf-Berdyansk. In this area, traffic is blocked for the military, but complicated by three hours of traffic jams.
“Military Informant” рассказываетtells how Ukrainian drones quickly manage to block a narrow two-lane track. To do this, it is enough to disable one or two trucks or a fuel tanker. The ignited equipment blocks the movement in both directions, and before the arrival of rescue services and clearing of the road, a congestion of cars is formed, which becomes the target of repeated strikes. The authors note that the tasks of violating Russian logistics, which previously required the use of front-line aviation and control of airspace by tens of kilometers deep into the territory, can now be solved by relatively cheap drones of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, which “modern aviation was not born”. Also, the Z-channel published a video of the attack, during which two Hornet drones were consistently launched on a standing truck KAMAZ. The first drone missed, but the second successfully hit the target.
Soldiers of the 20th separate brigade of unmanned systems “K-2” reported on the taking under control of the access roads to Debaltseve: on the section about 200 m long, trucks on the Debaltseve-Alchevsk highway caught fire.
Drones of the Third Army Corps now fly over Luhansk and the entire Luhansk region up to the Izvarino checkpoint on the border with Russia, the press service of the corps reported. The last time there were fighting in the summer of 2014, and now drones are burning Russian equipment, says journalist Denis Kazansky.
Video of strikes on Russian logistics also published the SBU unit “Alfa”. Last week alone, more than 500 enemy vehicles, including trucks and special equipment, were destroyed.
475th Assault Regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Code 9.2 also showed personnel of their participation in the campaign of strikes on the operational depth. In addition to the large number of cars, the soldiers of the regiment managed to hit the Russian SAM, RDSand also ACS “Pione.”
OSINT-researcher under the nickname Clément Molin telosloved more than 1000 strikes on Russian objects since January 2026, of which about 35% fell on warehouses, 20% – on vehicles and 7% – on air defense systems. The real number of blows is much higher, since only cases confirmed by geo-record fall on the map. According to the researcher, the intensity of such attacks continues to grow and already has an impact on Russian logistics, and soon will begin to affect the offensive capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces. If the current trend continues, disruptions in the supply of Russian troops may become more noticeable in the coming months.
In the occupied part of the Donetsk region, a limit was imposed on the purchase of AI-95 gasoline – no more than 30 liters in one hand, the pro-Russian Donetsk News Agency told May 29. As a reason, the shortage of gasoline “due to attacks by Ukrainian drones” is indicated. The limit on the sale of gasoline is also imposed in the annexed Crimea, said “governor” Sergei Aksenov. At the gas station of the Crimea there were queues 1(1, 22). From May 31, Aksenov wrote, AI-95 gasoline will be released as a matter of priority for communal and social transport, as well as on coupons without limits on volume. At the gas station ATAN and thermal power plants, the sale of AI-95 gasoline will be carried out only on coupons. In addition, “due to the limited stock of AI-92 gasoline,” a limit is introduced for its retail sale – no more than 20 liters per vehicle. In Sevastopol, gasoline AI-92 and AI-95 will also be released only on coupons. “Governor” Mikhail Razvozhaev called it a “temporary measure”.
According to the Telegram channel “ZIPASIKE VETeraran”, the shortage of gasoline in the Crimea is not associated with the lack of fuel as such, but with the destruction of the fuel infrastructure: fuel continues to flow to the peninsula, but the opportunities for its storage have decreased significantly. As one of the possible ways to protect energy and fuel infrastructure from Ukrainian strikes, the authors call its transfer to the ground. Meanwhile, the Russian government has banned the export of aviation kerosene.
As a response to the many times increased unmanned danger in the Russian Armed Forces, “zebrozervos” appeared – trucks with camouflage black and white color, designed to interfere with target recognition algorithms in Ukrainian drones. The Z-channel “Two Majors” writes that “such a solution can only help if KAMAZ travels to a herd of zebras.” Pro-Russian military enblogger Kirill Fedorov draws attention to the uselessness of such camouflage in the event that the UAV is controlled by the operator. The pro-Russian Telegram channel “Objector” напоминаетrecalls that “deforming camouflage” was used on ships during the First World War and is unlikely to work in the current conditions.
According to Reuters, in May, Russian refineries reduced diesel production by 10% compared to April due to strikes on oil refining infrastructure. In April, diesel production also decreased by 10% compared to March – by about 1 million tons. In May, the fall continued by another 600 thousand tons. In March, the volume of production was about 7.5 million tons. According to Bloomberg, in May, the Ukrainian military launched at least 30 strikes on the Russian oil infrastructure, including 16 attacks on the refinery.

Also during the attack on the city were Destroyed Iskander and two long-range anti-submarine aircraft Tu-142. The planes were Amazed at the military airfield in Taganrog, and the Iskander complex – at a launching position in a swampy area in the vicinity of the city. Ukrainian OSINT-project “KiberBoroshno” clarifies, that Iskander was based near the farms of Mikhailovka and Efremovsky, 145 km from LBS.
Meanwhile, the Z-channel “Informant” writes that one of the destroyed Tu-142, probably was stored on the territory of the airfield at least since the early 2010-ies. The second plane has been there since 2011. The authors conclude that both sides have been decommissioned.
In Feodosia in the annexed Crimea was attacked by the oil terminal, говоритсяthe message “Madeira” said.

In May, Ukraine sharply increased strikes on industrial and military facilities in Russia and Crimea, writes the publication “Agency”. In total, since the beginning of May, the Ukrainian military has carried at least 39 such strikes, in April – 26, and in March – 22. Drones attacked targets in the Russian rear for at least 19 days in May, of which 10 days – more than one target.

According to the pro-Russian Telegram channel “Objector”, the Russian military in response to the frequent strikes of Ukrainian drones on logistics began to deploy Mughal and equip anti-done tunnels at a distance of about 50 km from the front line. The authors of the channel note that the use of machine-gun payments against small-sized aircraft-type drones has limited efficiency, especially if the drones attack the MOG machine itself. A more promising solution is the use of anti-aircraft drones and portable means of launch them. The channel estimates the channel’s anti-drizzle tunnels as a more effective measure of logistics routes, because aircraft-type drones, unlike quadcopters, are not able to maneuver through breaks and holes in protective networks.
OSINT-researcher under the nickname John Felix published a graph showing the intensity of Ukrainian long-range drones based on data from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. According to these statistics, May was a record month in the number of launches of Ukrainian long-range drones: 8 973 UAVs declared as shot down.
