According to the commander-in-chief, the situation at the front remains difficult for the Ukrainian military, as the Russian army continues to attack in all main directions.

In addition, the Russian army is still trying to take control of the city of Volchansk in the northern part of Kharkiv Oblast, where it opened a new front in mid-May, starting a new incursion from Russian territory.
