MOD and map updates. Past couple of days Russians continued heavy shelling and airstrikes in Kharkiv to keep Ukrainian offensive positions there mostly static. In the Donbas, Russians taken more than half of Sievierodonetsk at this point with heavy fighting in the city and Ukrainian defenders being partially forced across the Lysychansk bridge. Russian forces are attempting attack Lysychansk from south and west vectors so they don't have to cross the river, which we've seen them being absolutely horrid at doing in the past. The Ukrainian counter-offensive in Kherson has succeeded in recapturing Mykolaivka and Zaszilla, and are now threatening to disrupt Russian lines of communication.

No other areas of significant change

Ukrainians are reporting Poland will now send them 60 of their state of the art Krab self-propelled artillery piece instead of the previously reported 18. If confirmed, Poland will now have sent 2/3s of their front line artillery pieces to Ukraine. UK and Germany are also set to deliver an undisclosed number of M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems variants of the HIMARS system the US DOD has now confirmed they are sending after Ukrainians "promised" not to use them on targets inside Russia proper. These are supposedly to reach Ukraine before months end but they won't be put into service until sometime in July earliest assuming crews area already being trained.

In Russia, Putin unhappy with the progress of the offensive has now fired 5 generals. Seems like in the Russian/Soviet military there are only 3 career paths for generals: Killed in action, fired for incompetence, or purged/disappeared in peacetime. Apparently generals are also highly unhappy with Putin himself with some unconfirmed leaked calls from the generals criticizing Putin himself. This whole war and Russia's irrational decisions are being made worse by Putin wanting to cement his legacy. He is confirmed now to having been treated for cancer in April by US intelligence. The intelligence report also says that there was an assassination attempt on Putin in March
