The settlement of Rabotino in the Zaporizhzhia region has been completely liberated by the units of the 'Dnieper' group of forces.

The 'Dnieper' units have also defeated the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the areas surrounding the settlements of Malaya Tokmachka in the Zaporizhzhia region, Nikopol in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and Zolotaya Balka in the Kherson region.

Units from the 'Vostok' and 'Tsentr' groups have reportedly targeted Ukrainian forces in the settlements located within the territory of the DPR. The 'Zapad' group has struck the Ukrainian armed forces in the Kharkiv region near the settlements of Petropavlovka, Stelmakhovka, and Nadia in the LPR.

On May 14, the Russian Armed Forces took control of the village of Bughrovatka in the Kharkiv region. On May 13, Oleg Synegubov, head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, admitted in an interview with Skyn News that the frontlines are expanding, as the Russian Armed Forces are attacking in several directions. Synegubov attributed the weakening of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the delays in new military supplies from the West, stating that this has forced Ukrainian military personnel to conduct a 'defensive operation' for nearly half a year.
