Russia launched 37% more attacks but still lost ground in May, Ukrainian war tracker says

• DeepState UA reported that Russia has lost ground overall for the first time in years.
• The oft-cited Ukrainian war tracker said that Russia increased assaults by 37.5% in May.
• A Washington-based think tank said Russia was starting to lose ground in April.

Better commanders and new drone strikes

The ISW also said on Sunday that some of Ukraine’s success was due to Kyiv conducting more mid-range drone strikes, at distances of about 30 to 50 miles, on Russian logistics hubs and operations.

The UK’s defense ministry echoed the sentiment in an intelligence update on Monday, highlighting Ukraine’s recent drone strikes in Russia’s transportation operations in the rear.
