In May, the russian occupation army captured 14 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory - the worst result for the aggressor country of russia since October 2023, when it launched a strategic offensive operation.

DeepState announced this on its Telegram channel, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

"The russians completely failed May - this is the worst increase in occupied territory since October 2023, when the enemy launched a strategic offensive operation on most sections of the front. According to our map, in May the enemy occupied only 14 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory," DeepState announced in a statement.

DeepState analysts note that an interesting fact in the dynamics of the russian advance is that in May they increased the number of assault operations by 37.5%. Over the month, the enemy carried out over 7,000 attacks on the front.

Despite the increase in the number of attacks, the occupiers are unable to achieve success. This is due to the fact that the army of the aggressor country continues to degrade at the tactical level.

At the same time, DeepState draws attention to the fact that the tendency for russian infantry groups to infiltrate continues; at the same time, the reaction of the Ukrainian Defense Forces has significantly intensified.

The situation in the Kostiantynivka area of ​​the Donetsk Region remains problematic: DeepState analysts believe that the prospects for the Ukrainian army on this section of the front are not the best.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on May 26, the russian news project "We Can Explain" wrote that the pace of the russian army's offensive had fallen to its lowest level in two years.

On May 22, Bloomberg reported, citing its own sources, that part of russian dictator vladimir putin's entourage believes that the war has reached a stalemate and has no clear path to resolution.

And on May 20, the US Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that in recent months, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have achieved their most significant successes on the front lines since the operation in the Kursk Oblast in 2024.
