Russian troops capture Umanske and advance in Ivanivka - DeepState

In recent days, the Russian army has made some progress in the Kupiansk and Pokrovsk areas during attacks on the frontline. In particular, the occupiers allegedly captured the village of Umanske in the Pokrovsk district of the Donetsk region.

This was pointed out by DeepState analysts. At midnight on May 26, they updated the map of hostilities, marking the relevant advances of the aggressor.

"The enemy has occupied Umanske and advanced in Ivanivka," the statement said.

The previous day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff noted in its evening report that the situation was the hottest in the Kharkiv, Kupiansk, Kramatorsk, Pokrovsk and Kurakhove sectors. As of 23:00, 110 combat engagements were recorded at the frontline over the course of the day.

According to the command, the number of combat engagements in the Kupiansk sector, where Ivanivka is located, amounted to 14. Defense forces successfully repelled enemy attacks in the areas of Synkivka and Petropavlivka. Fighting was still ongoing near Miasozharivka, Druzheliubivka and Nevske, and our troops inflicted losses on the enemy there.

In the Pokrovsk sector, where Umanske is located, the enemy made a total of 23 attacks during the day, sometimes with the support of aviation and the use of anti-aircraft guns. They tried to build up significant fire control efforts along almost the entire contact line.

Previously, in this area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces eliminated and wounded almost 200 invaders, shot down a Su-25 aircraft, destroyed three armored personnel carriers and three armored personnel carriers, and damaged other equipment of the Russian troops.

It is noted that intense fighting continued in the area of Novooleksandrivka at night, and the Defense Forces are taking measures to stabilize the situation.

As reported, a chief sergeant with the call sign "Hockey", who is fighting as part of a company of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Pokrovsk direction, expressed his belief that the battle for Pokrovsk will last longer than for Bakhmut. He emphasized that the city, which is currently being targeted by the enemy, is an important logistics center.
