This is a sign of the offensive, which the aggressor country announced last fall.

< h2 > situation in the Kherson region and Zaporozhye
< p > in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya directions that can be generalized as the southern, there is a Russian Dnieper group. There the situation is complicated, but it is completely controlled by our units. Как отметил командир 30 корпуса морской пехоты ВМС Вооруженных сил Украины генерал-майор Дмитрий Делятицкий, враг продолжает пытаться закрепиться в островной зоне Днепра и выбить наших защитников с позиций на левом берегу, но не имеет успеха.
< p >If we talk about the nature of the hostilities in the Kherson region, then there are no intense clashes of the infantry, but the enemy massively uses percussion UAVs of various types. On average, about 1,700-1,800 applications of such drones are recorded for a week, depending on weather conditions, this figure may vary.
< p > — Almost 30% of the applications falls on the Kherson territorial community, and mainly civilians suffer from this, which live in the regional center and its suburbs, — Noted Delyatitsky.
< p > Thus, in the Kherson region, the enemy actively uses FPV throns and cities, relies on small groups for raids on the islands. There is also a noticeable increase in shelling of residential quarters of Kherson, Berislav and Antonovka.

< p > — The enemy wants to create a bridgehead for landing on the right bank of the Dnieper, but all attempts are still unsuccessful, — Voloshin said.
< p >The speaker emphasized that the invaders would continue to act actively in the area, since they gathered enough strength to maintain the daily intensity of hostilities. as the military expert Alexei Getman noted, such an activation of the enemy is due to weather conditions, in particular, warming. — The invaders are trying to capture the islands, make small bases there, some caches where you can store mainly cartridges, food, water. This is done in order to then force, for example, a river, so that it is possible to move faster, carry out maneuvers, — He added.
< p > but such attempts do not mean that something has changed significantly — that we turned out to be more than six months or a year ago, danger, since the forces and means of Russians have remained at the same level since then.
< p >— They are able to mobilize about the same number of people that we destroy monthly. So it is with technology. They cannot supply techniques as much as we disable. Therefore, summarizing, if the amount of manpower and technology has not increased, then due to which they can achieve any significant successes, they don’t have them — Explains a military expert.< h2 > Pokrovsky direction: what happens there
< p > Pokrovsky direction remains the most active in terms of hostilities — From a third to half of the hostilities occur directly there. This week, as Alexei Getman notes and is evidenced by Deepstate data, the invaders advanced on the road Pokrovsk – Konstantinovka. — However, it is worth noting that this is the result of almost six months of hostilities, and this cannot be considered the success of the enemy, — The expert says
< p > Thus, at the moment, no significant breakthroughs even in the hottest direction have no, and the front line is more or less stabilized.

< p >The Russian military is trying to go to the Dnipropetrovsk region several dozen, maybe hundreds of meters. According to a military expert, these places — A clean field, trenches are dug there, and our military — Every half meter.
< p > — I note that this section of the front is not a priority for the Russian offensive, so there is no point in placing dozens or hundreds of our military there. Therefore, it is likely that the invaders can come to the administrative territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region, go by several tens or hundreds of meters to the administrative territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region. We will see this, we have intelligence with drones there, and destroy, — Says Alexey Getman.
< p >However, there is another threat — The Kremlin seeks to use the messages about going to the territory of Dnepropetrovsk for their propaganda purposes, they say, their troops are already in this region. But it is worth noting that the border between the Dnepropetrovsk and Donetsk regions can be designated only on the map.
< p > — Try to see somewhere in the field where these boundaries go. Therefore, the military does not focus on political maps, except when it comes to state borders.
< p >The military focuses on the terrain and use it as much as possible in order to either carry out offensive actions, or carry out actions in defense, — Says Alexei Getman. < img decoding = "async" title = "Exchange of prisoners, the largest attack on Ukraine and the window of capabilities: the main events of the week photo 3" Lazy "class =" Alignnone WP-Image-5505292 " SRC = "https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/24/doneczka-oblast.png" Alt = "The front" width = "806" height = "806" srcset = "https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/24/doneczka-oblast.png 1080w, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/24/doneczka-oblast-300x300.png 300W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/24/doneczka-oblast-432x432.png 432W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/24/doneczka-oblast-156x156.png 156w, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/24/doneczka-oblast-768x768.png 768W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/24/doneczka-oblast-96x96.png 96w, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/24/doneczka-oblast-88x88.png 88w https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/24/doneczka-oblast-16x16.png 16W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/24/doneczka-oblast-32x32.png 32W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/24/doneczka-oblast-48x48.png 48W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-cloads/2025/05/24/doneczka-oblast-180x180.png 180W "SIZES =" (Max-Width: 806PX) 100VW, 806PX " />< /p > < p > Thus, it is worth considering that information about the threat to the Dnipropetrovsk region is nothing more than the Russian IPSO that launches the Kremlin. And it is important not to pick up and not promote such narratives of the Russian Federation, because they are an information component of the enemy’s hybrid war against Ukraine. situation on the smoking
< p > this week Russian propagandists reported that fighting had completed in the Kursk region. This information was refuted in < b >The General Staff of Ukraine, noting that “ Operation of the defense forces of Ukraine in certain directions in the border areas of the Kurshchina continues ”. 62 > 62 > 62 > < p > there they added that our defenders hold their positions, fulfill the tasks and apply effective defeat of the enemy, despite difficult conditions.
< p > As Alexei Getman noted, Tetkino has a part of our troops in the Kurshshchina and fighting continues. — Our fighters are fighting there in order to force the enemy to keep a relatively large number of their troops in this direction. This is a military component of this operation. That is, if it is not possible to stop the war, then at least it is necessary to transfer it to the territory of the Russian Federation, — Added a military expert.
< p > and the political component of the importance of the stay of our military in the Chicken is a strong position in negotiations on a 30-day truce. — Because if the Russians say, let's fix it where we are, then we are to fix in the Belgorod region and in the smoking ~ 63 — The expert says
< h2 > Kharkovshchina and the onset of the Russian Federation
< p > there are all signs that the Russian Federation is preparing offensive actions towards Kharkov, there is no other information yet, says Alexei Getman. In general, offensive actions in the Kharkov direction, as on others, are already going on.
< p > — Only they do not advertise the offensive, do not declare it, but continue to intimidate the policy that it is about to begin. Although it is actually already going on without an official statement of the Russian Federation about this. And avoids the enemy of such statements due to the immediately arising question: “ where the successes of the offensive are ~ 63 ” — Says a military expert.
< p >In the future, it can be expected that throughout the front line the activity of the fighting will intensify, however, constantly maintaining high intensity on large segments of the front does not have a resource. and when Russia strengthens military operations, Ukraine needs to raise the question of resuming the supply of American weapons, political scientist Vladimir Fesenko notes.
< p > — This is important not only in the context of strengthening Ukrainian defense capacity, but also is a signal to the Russians that they will not have a unilateral advantage that they will not be able to win this war, — Says a political scientist.
< p > and the most important signal here is that it is the USA and Europe that will not allow Russia to win.

< p > after a meeting in Istanbul on May 16, which was the first negotiations of the eye of Russia and Ukraine after a full -scale invasion in February 2022 is active preparation of the next round of negotiations. < p > 62 ~ < p >And one of the main events of the week in the framework of the peace process was the conversations of the head of the United States Donald Trump and the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, as well as the head of state with the Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin. And the fact that at first a dialogue took place with the head of our state, and then with Putin, and after that Trump again gained Zelensky, is also an important moment. This means that the states hold Ukraine in the course of the negotiation process.
< blockquote >< p > — As some media wrote, during the first conversation of Trump and Zelensky, the head of the states asked our president what questions should be asked by Putin, which should be agreed with the Kremlin dictator. And in any case, it is good that the Americans are interested in this. It would be much worse if the United States ignored Ukraine in the context of its negotiations with Putin, — Adds a political scientist.
< p >In general, the conversations between the heads of state, according to Vladimir Fesenko, confirmed that there will be direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
< p > — Well, it seems that we are talking about rebooting, because the negotiations that were in Istanbul came to a dead end. Actually, that is why the conversation of Trump and Putin was needed to influence the negotiation process.< p > window of opportunities for negotiations even there are more, but the probability of the end of the war, it is more likely to move away. It is good that the United States understands that we should be in the negotiation process, do not forget about us, I would even say, we are forced not to forget, because we insist on this, — Adds a political scientist.
< p > and in order not to stop in the negotiation process, noted the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine ~ 60 >Andrey Ermak, we need the next two steps — Exchange of prisoners in format 1000 by 1000 and determining the place for the next meeting with representatives of the Russian Federation.
< p > regarding the second step, it is still not clear where the following negotiations should take place, when exactly, what is their level and format. < p > < p > at the moment, as noted by the President of Ukraine < B > 60 ~/B > Vladimir Zelensky, Ukraine is preparing a military basis for diplomacy for the next technical meeting with the Russian side. Efforts are made so that future negotiations take place as quickly as possible.
< p > However, the political scientist notes, if earlier it was only about the ceasefire, now about the end of the war. And this indicates that the war does not stop, but will continue, at least for some more time.
< p >— It is clear that it is in the framework of determining the conditions for the end of the war between Ukraine and Russia that there are fundamental contradictions. And some of them are simply implacable, for example, the question of the status of occupied territories. And this, in turn, leads to tightening the negotiation process, which is the strategy of Russia, — The political scientist notes.
< p > thus, according to the political scientist, there is a risk that these negotiations can last months and even years.
< h2 > exchange of prisoners and shelling of Kyiv
< p > in the context of the first step, which was voiced by Ermak, now the exchange of prisoners has taken place between Ukraine and Russia. It lasted for several days and passed in several stages.
< p > so, on May 23, in the framework of the first stage of exchange of prisoners 1000 per 1000 home, 390 Ukrainians returned – 270 military and 120 civilian citizens.
< p > and before that, on May 24, it was possible to free 307 defenders, and < b > 60 ~/b > 25 May — Another 303 prisoners.
< p >As noted by the commander of the 1st corps of the Azov National Guard of Ukraine, Colonel < B > Denis Prokopenko (Radis), among those who were returned from captivity, there are not a single Azov fighter. In turn, the writer and the former prisoner of isolation < b > Stanislav Aseev noted that there are no civilians from captured from captivity, which are already 8 years old.
< blockquote >< p > — We do not know exactly which side the exchange initiative was received, but the fact that this is the largest exchange — This is a fact and may indicate that it was the United States that contributed to this. I needed a positive sign of shift of the peace process.
< p > and the fact that Trump wrote on May 23 to the first about the exchange is also no coincidence. This indicates that although the Americans to some extent depart from the negotiation process, they control it. They push negotiations, — Says Fesenko.
< p > this exchange, and Donald Trump spoke about this, demonstrates that the negotiation process is in the right direction. And as the US President stated, this may be a sign that there will be something more further. Thus, he most likely hinted precisely to the end of the war.
< p > — But this is Trump, he always exaggerates, gives what he wants to be valid, but at the same time this is evidence of what the United States, despite its threats to leave the negotiation process, remain the side that determines the movement of negotiations, — adds Fesenko.
< p > it is worth noting that, against the background of the exchange of prisoners, Russia made two massive attacks on Ukraine on the night of May 24 and ~ 60 >~ 60 > 25 May, using ballistic missiles and drones. 62 > 62 ~ < p >The main direction of May 24 was Kyiv, and the very next day, the capital and the region, Zhitomirskaya, Khmelnitskaya, Nikolaev, Ternopol, Chernihiv, Sumy regions, as well as other regions. ~ 60 > 62 > < p > as he writes < b > sky news, the main goal of the attack on May 24 was probably the exhaustion of Ukrainian air defense before missile strikes.
62 > 62 > 62 ~ < p > — Drones had to force Ukrainian defenders to spend a significant part of ammunition to make “ windows ” in defense for further blows by ballistic missiles, — noted the military analyst Michael Clark.
< p > that is, now a certain paradoxical situation is obtained — The largest exchange between Ukraine and the Russian Federation passes and at the same time the aggressor country massively attacks Ukraine, there are more conversations about negotiations, and the parties went to direct negotiations, which is indeed a qualitatively new level, and on the front line-the Russian offensive. Therefore, the prospect of the end of the war still looks foggy.
< p > and the USA, although they remain the driving force of negotiations, distance from peaceful processes, as evidenced by Trump's statements that he does not want to put pressure on Putin, in particular, he is not going to impose sanctions against the Russian Federation. And if this does not happen, then the prospect of the end of the war is weakening. And here Ukraine makes reasonably and strategically — works with the European side, giving its proposals on pressure on the Russian Federation, which is an important process in the end of the war. an important point is that Ukraine is now forming a common negotiation position with Europeans. And this means that we are not alone with the aggressor, we have support.
