On the Lyman front, occupiers are trying to find weaknesses in Ukraine’s defences. Russia conducted offensive operations near Bilohorivka but without success. Invaders carried out air strikes on the settlements of Nevske and Bilohorivka in Luhansk Oblast and Verkhnokamianske and Spirne in Donetsk Oblast. Makiivka, Bilohorivka in Luhansk Oblast and Yampolivka and Spirne in Donetsk Oblast were shelled from artillery.

On the Avdiivka front, invaders conducted offensive operations in Avdiivka and Pervomaisk but failed. Russians attacked Novokalynove, Berdychi, Lastochkyne, Avdiivka, Sieverne, Vodiane, Pervomaiske and Netailove in Donetsk Oblast.

On the Shakhtarsk front, Russia did not conduct any offensive actions during the day. Occupiers launched an air strike near the village of Velyka Novosilka. They attacked Paraskoviivka, Novomykhailivka and Vuhledar.
On the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson fronts, Russia continues to conduct defensive operations. At the same time, invaders attacked more than 20 settlements near the contact line during the day. Among them are Vremivka, Novosilka, Zelene Pole, Novopil in Donetsk Oblast; Olhivske, Huliaipole, Zaliznychne, Huliaipilske, Bilohiria, Mala Tokmachka and Kamianske in Zaporizhzhia Oblast; Zolota Balka, Kachkarivka, Zmiivka, Tiahynka, Antonivka, Dniprovske, Kizomys, Stanislav in Kherson Oblast and the city of Kherson.
In the city of Skadovsk, the activity of district and city administrations has reportedly been suspended. So, on the night of 6-7 May, Russians loaded documentation, office equipment and other property belonging to state institutions onto road transport. On the morning of 7 May, a significant part of the Russian occupation administration left the city together with their families. Currently, a similar situation is being observed in settlements in the oblast such as Mykhailivka, Petrivka, Shevchenka, Shyroke, Ulianivka and Krasne.
Judging from the many kilometres of traffic jams that have recently formed at the entry point to Crimea and near the Kerch bridge, Russians plan to transport documentation and property looted from state institutions in temporarily occupied Kherson Oblast by sea, using a dry cargo ship, through the Port of Berdiansk.
During the day, the Air Force of the Ukrainian Defence Forces carried out 11 strikes on areas of concentration of Russian personnel and military equipment.
In addition, Ukrainian defenders destroyed a reconnaissance UAV of the Zala type.
Units of Rocket Forces and Artillery hit three areas of concentration of service personnel, two ammunition storage points and three more critical Russian targets.
