📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Northeast Sector Update
- Some Russian gains reported near Novoselivka, but Ukrainian reinforcements forced a Russian retreat towards Kuzmivka
- Fighting ongoing near the P66/R66 highway and west of Kreminna; Russians made some gains in Spirne at the cost of heavy tank losses
- Intense fighting continues in Bilohorivka and Spirne
Bakhmut Area Update
- Russians appear to have made minor gains north and south of Bakhmut, near Zaliznyanske and Klishchiivka
- Jonathan argues these gains are at the expense of weakening other areas like Avdiivka, which aligns with Ukrainian goals of fixing Russian troops
- Reports indicate 99% of Wagner units have left Bakhmut; Russian VDV elements increasing role
- Ukrainian forces strengthening defensive lines in anticipation of potential June 5 Russian offensive
Avdiivka Area Update
- Lack of Russian ground attacks suggests they have a reduced ability to attack, likely due to forces being pulled to Bakhmut
- Ukrainian forces appear to be making gains in the Avdiivka area, enabled by Russian redeployments
- Russian offensive efforts west of Avdiivka near Krasnohorivka have been constrained by Ukrainian forces
Marinka and Southern Front Update
- Russians, supported by Chechen units, made gains in northern Marinka and southwest near Druzhby Ave.
- Situation around Pobjeda remains unclear; Russian control would threaten Ukrainian flanking attempts on Marinka
- Positional fighting continues in the Vuhledar area with no major changes
Strikes on Russian Rear Areas
- Ukrainians conducted extensive strikes on Russian logistics and transport hubs in occupied territories, including Berdyansk, Melitopol, Mariupol
- Railway junctions targeted to disrupt Russian reinforcement and resupply efforts
- Explosions reported in Dzhankoi, Crimea
Belgorod Oblast Update
Pro-Ukrainian Russian forces remain active in the Shebekino area of Belgorod Oblast. Russia is struggling to deal with these groups, resorting to shelling their own settlements, including with incendiary munitions, rather than committing frontline troops.
