❗️ #Russian forces are attempting to secure smaller encirclements and concentrate on #Severodonetsk , according to @TheStudyofWar
Key #ISW conclusions:

▪️ #Russian forces have likely abandoned efforts to complete a single, large encirclement of #Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine. Instead, they are attempting to secure smaller encirclements and to concentrate on Severodonetsk.

▪️ #Ukrainian forces are likely conducting a controlled withdrawal southwest of #Popasna near #Bakhmut to protect Ukrainian supply lines against Russian offensives southeast of Bakhmut.

▪️Russian occupation authorities in Mariupol announced that they will hold war crimes trials against Ukrainian soldiers in a likely effort to strengthen judicial control of the city.

▪️ #Russian forces are attempting to retake Ternova in the northern #Kharkiv region and are seeking to stabilize defensive positions near the Russian border against the #Ukrainian counteroffensive.

1️⃣ 💔OLENA
“How am I going to live without Ivan?” she said.
Bombs rained down on Olena’s village of Rozvazhiv, in the Kyiv region, on March 14. Her son Ivan and four others died; Olena was one of about 20 who were wounded.➡️2️⃣

2️⃣ At first, “I was thinking, ‘Why did God leave me alive?’,” said Olena, 45, her soft voice breaking. Hearing Ivan was dead, she begged a neighbor to get his rifle and shoot her.

But her husband Volodymyr pleaded with her, saying he couldn’t live without her.➡️3️⃣

3️⃣ Now, she endures the devastation of the loss of her child, and the physical pain of the loss of her leg, cut below the knee.

“I am still not accepting myself as I am now,” Olena said. She can’t yet imagine what it will be like to walk again.➡️4️⃣

A word which is scary to say...”

💔On May 5, Valeria and Ukrainian border guard Andrii (call sign ‘Boroda’) got married.
“We got married on Azov's ‘birthday’. A border guard and an Azovette. We just did a report. Here, under bombing and shelling. But it was a happy day and a happy photo...”
