#Russian forces conducted ground attacks northeast of Kupyansk and along the Kupyansk-#Svatove line on May 14. Russian and #Ukrainian sources did not report any Russian ground attacks near #Kreminna. isw.pub/UkrWar051423 Image
2/ A prominent Russian milblogger claimed that "sluggish" fighting continues b/w Novoselivske & Kuzemivka (13km NW of #Svatove), & that elements of the RU 1st Guards Tank Army have established first lines of defense along the eastern side of the rail line near Novoselivske.
3/ The milblogger claimed that Russian forces withdrew from Novoselivske on an unspecified date because the settlement is destroyed and not worth defending, and emphasized that Russian forces still control Kuzemivka. isw.pub/UkrWar051423
4/ Chechen Republic Head Ramzan #Kadyrov, citing a Chechen Akhmat Spetsnaz commander, denied reports that #Ukrainian forces broke through #Russian defensive lines near #Kreminna but acknowledged that Ukrainian forces may be conducting sabotage and reconnaissance in the area.

Increasingly regular Russian drone & missile strikes are likely part of a new Russian air campaign in #Ukraine aimed at degrading Ukrainian abilities to conduct counteroffensive offensive operations in the near term. 🧵on the current air campaign ⬇️ isw.pub/UkrWar051423
2/ Russian forces have conducted at least 10 series of strikes throughout #Ukraine, particularly in rear areas, since April 19.
3/ Russian forces have used significantly fewer high-precision missiles in these latest series of strikes in comparison to their failed campaign against Ukrainian critical infrastructure from the fall of 2022 through the winter of 2023.

🧵RU milbloggers & other voices in the pro-war info space are responding to recent UKR counterattacks with varying degrees of caution & anxiety. The overall #Russian info space response appears to be focused on the idea of avoiding spreading panic. (1/10) isw.pub/UkrWar051223 Image
2/ Many milbloggers claimed that Ukrainian activity around #Bakhmut marks the official beginning of the anticipated spring counteroffensive and speculated about where #Ukraine’s main effort will take place.
3/ Several prominent Russian voices, however, urged caution and restraint in responding to the counteroffensive, suggesting that some milbloggers are trying to apply lessons from the information space meltdown during #Ukraine’s successful Kharkiv and Kherson counteroffensives.

ISW has reindexed its map layer for reported UKR counteroffensives as of May 12, 2023.

We removed reported UKR counteroffensive coded before May 1, 2023, in order to delineate more clearly new UKR territorial gains from gains secured in previous UKR counteroffensives. (1/4)
2/ ISW retained a few reported Ukrainian counteroffensives polygons from before May 1, 2023, specifically on the Dnipro River Delta south of Kherson Oblast, to preserve context in that complex area of operations.
3/ May 1, 2023, is an arbitrary date and does not mark the beginning or end of any assessed Ukrainian or Russian effort.
