SitRep - 18/05/24 - Have Russian advances in the Kharkiv region come to a standstill?
An overview of the daily events in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Fighting does continue in the Kharkiv region, but Ukraine seems to have stabilized the situation.
During a recent Storm Shadow strike on occupied Crimea, a secret air defense base was struck, killing its commander. Russians channels confirmed his death.
In Vovchansk, the central hospital building was taken over by Russians. But once they were inside, Ukraine heavily bombed it. With lots of Russian inside, the death toll must be huge.
To the front line situation. For the latest state of affairs at the front, I advise you to consult my interactive map.

Netailove
➡️Geolocated video footage confirm that Russians have made some territorial gains south of Umanske and slightly north of Netalove. This has probably happened before, but has only now been confirmed.
Robotyne
➡️Russian sources claim that Russia has recaptured the village of Robotyne. Geolocated footage indeed shows a Russian presence in the center of the village, but Ukrainian troops claim that the Russians have since been driven out. Situation unclear: gray zone enlarged.
Kharkiv direction
After Russia made territorial gains in the first days of the offensive, it now seems to be coming to a standstill. Ukrainian defense lines in Vovchansk and Liptsy have been strengthened, new troops have arrived and Ukrainian are resisting fierce.
No changes.
That's it for today, tonight a new SitRep.
