• 17 civilians, including 3 children, were evacuated from Sievierodonetsk on 14 May. This was the first evacuation in a long time, because the evacuation corridor was constantly being shelled by Russian troops.
• On 13 May, Haidai said that Russian troops destroyed a bridge that connected Sievierodonetsk and the Russian-occupied Popasna.
• The UK Defence Ministry stated that according to their analysis, Russian troops have already lost a third of their combat-ready units and will not have the capability to carry out offensive actions in the next month.
