Ukraine narrows Russian gains in May 2026, DeepState reports
TL;DR Summary
Ukrainian monitoring group DeepState says Ukraine captured more territory than Russia in May 2026, producing the first negative month for Russian territorial gains since 2023. DeepState notes its public map shows Russia advancing about 14 sq km, but delays in publicly acknowledging Ukrainian gains create a lag that skews month-to-month comparisons. Experts caution that measuring front-line changes is difficult in the evolving “gray zone” of drone warfare, while Kyiv continues efforts to disrupt Russian logistics and regain momentum.
