In May, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a series of successful strikes against military-industrial and fuel-energy facilities in moscow and the moscow oblast for the first time. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi has reported this on Facebook, according to the Ukrainian News agency.
"For the first time, as part of a unified plan, a series of successful strikes was carried out against military-industrial and fuel-energy complex facilities in Moscow and the Moscow Oblast. This has once again confirmed the Defense Forces’ ability to inflict significant losses on the enemy far behind the front lines,” he noted.
The Commander-in-Chief reported that during May, Ukrainian troops carried out thousands of effective strikes on enemy military facilities, unmanned systems units struck over 88,000 targets, and according to estimates by the Unmanned Systems Forces Command, neutralized over 30,500 russian servicemen, while Front and Middle systems continued to systematically destroy russian command posts and arsenals.
He added that Deep Strike assets struck 111 enemy targets within the military-industrial complex, energy sector, and fuel infrastructure serving the russian army over the course of the month, and that the direct and indirect economic losses inflicted on the enemy as a result of Deep Strike operations in May amounted to approximately USD 1.1 billion.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Syrskyi also stated that in May, the ratio of liberated to lost territory stood at +100 square kilometers in Ukraine’s favor; in total, over 600 square kilometers of Ukrainian land have been liberated since the beginning of 2026.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported that on the night of May 23, moscow was again subjected to a massive drone attack.
