Ukraine’s Defense Ministry Takes Out Dozens of Russian Sites in May, Secures Key Supply Routes.

Russian Military Assets Destroyed

According to Espreso.tv: Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense has announced the elimination of numerous Russian military facilities and the seizure of control over enemy logistics corridors during May of this year. The destroyed assets include:

• 19 air defense systems and radar stations;
• 50 logistics hubs and storage depots;
• 25 drone infrastructure facilities;
• 8 command headquarters and administrative centers.

Notable Targets Hit

Among the key losses for Russian forces were three 'Pantsir-S1' surface-to-air missile systems, eliminated in Novyi Svit, Henicheska Hirka, and at the 'Saky' airfield. Additional high-value items destroyed include:

• four 'Tor' and 'Tor-M2' missile systems located in Mykhailivka, Staryi Oskol, Zakhidne, and Berdiansk;
• one 'Buk-M3' missile system in Olkhovatka;
• one 'Osa' missile system in Donetsk;
• one 'Buk-M2' command-and-vehicle in Kadiivka.

Furthermore, multiple radar stations were taken out in May, including:

• the coastal 'MIS-M1' radar in Mayak;
• the 'Podlyot' radar in Yevpatoria;
• the P-18 'Terek' radar in Sofiivka;
• the 'Kasta-2E' radar in Mysove;
• the 'Yastreb' radar in Novoselivka;
• the 1L125 'Niobiy-SV' radar in Yarsk;
• the 'Nebo-SV' radar in Kamianka;
• the 'ST-68' radar in Feodosia;
• the MR-232 'Bussol-S' radar in Mariupol.

Ukrainian forces also gained control over occupation troops' supply lines in Luhansk Oblast and Eastern Slobozhanshchyna. A critical military-logistics artery—the 'R-280' federal highway, stretching over 500 km—connects Rostov-on-Don with Crimea. These operations aim to tighten the noose on enemy resupply networks.

This report highlights the active role of Ukrainian forces in ongoing military operations in the country’s east.

Destroying key enemy military assets and seizing logistics routes is vital for reducing Russia’s ability to supply and command its troops. Such successes could shape the conflict’s trajectory and influence both sides’ strategies in the region.
