Putin's War -- May 30 briefing maps.
A mostly quiet weekend after Russia captured Lyman. Small changes.
- Russia gained a foothold in at least two neighbourhoods of Sievierodonetsk.
- Unclear Ukrainian advances near Davydiv Brid.
- Stalling of Popasna advances.
More below.

A slightly concerning area of Russian advances that I think are flying under the radar is btw Velyka Novosilka and Hulyaipole. Over the past month, frontline villages have often changed control, but it looks as though Russia is slowly getting the upper hand.
Timelapse since May 2

These are relatively small and often temporary gains for the moment, but there exists a threat that once Russian forces gain enough of an upper hand in this area that they could break through and threaten some of the more established defensive positions along this axis.

Other changes over the weekend that are worth pointing out include:
- Russian forces withdrew from Mykolaivka near Vysokopillia (I previously had this wrongly as under Ukrainian control);
- Ukraine gaining a hilltop position near Novobakhmutivka (near Adiivka);

- A Russian push (unclear how successful) towards Novoluhanske near Svitlodarsk;
- Russian push towards Oleksandrivka and Sosnove (btw Lyman and Izym);
- Ukrainian recapture of Velyka Komyshuvakha (near Izyum).

and, as always (when I remember), the full map of Ukraine
