The summary of the 89th day of Russian invasion to Ukraine, as of 22:00 – 23rd of May 2022 (Kyiv time).

Day summary:

The most difficult situation remains in the area of Siverskyi Donets. Ukrainian troops retreated from Svitlodarsk Arc and nearby areas to avoid encirclement. Russian forces have launched an attack on Lyman and have a partial success. The situation remains unchanged on other frontlines.

Russia continues to shell Ukrainian positions near the  border in Sumy and Chernihiv Oblasts.

Kharkiv Frontline

includes the area of Kharkiv and Chuhuiv

partly sunny | ~17 °C

Shelling: Prudianka, Ternova, Husarivka, Chepil

Russian forces attempted to regain control of Ternova, but the attack wasn’t successful, and the enemy retreated to its original positions.


Siverskyi Donets

includes the area of Slovyansk, Kramatorsk and Bakhmut

partly sunny | ~18 °C

Shelling: Dolyna, Bohorodychne, Studenok, Svyatohirsk, Lyman, Dibrova, Ozerne, Sievierodonetsk, Zolote

Russian troops attacked Ukrainian positions at Dovhenke, but the assault was repelled. The enemy also attempted to capture Toshkivka and Lypove, but wasn’t successful.

After a few days of preparations, Russian forces have launched an attack on Lyman and reportedly entered the outskirts in the evening.

Russian troops captured a forwarded Ukrainian checkpoint at Zolote, but the situation in the town itself is unclear. It’s likely the Ukrainian forces retreated or will retreat in coming hours to more favorable positions.

At Svitlodarsk Arc, Ukrainian troops retreated from the contact line to avoid encirclement. They also blew a bridge and nearby dam to slow down the Russian advance. The enemy has captured Troitske and Myronivskyi as the result. They haven’t yet entered Svitlodarsk itself, but Ukrainian forces reportedly retreated today.
