In a significant development, Russian troops have retreated from six settlements in Ukraine, signaling a defeat for President Putin’s army.
Ukrainian forces successfully repelled assaults in the areas of Bilohorivka, Bakhmut, Niu-York, Sieverne, Marinka, and Novomyhkhailivka.
The Russian force reportedly suffered minor casualties.
The Ukrainian defenders shot down 18 Shahed combat drones and a reconnaissance UAV during the day, while the Russians launched 24 Iranian-made drones.
The use of drones has been restricted in Sverdlovsk Oblast and Omsk Oblast in the Russian Federation, and Moscow and St.
Petersburg had previously imposed such restrictions.
A person was injured when Russian troops attacked the border areas of Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts six times on May 4th.
The attacks caused damage to houses and injured civilians.
With the Ukrainian defense forces gaining ground, the Russia-Ukraine war appears to be entering a new phase.
