Ukrainian defenders rebuffed approximately 80 assaults on the Pokrovsk frontline and 18 attacks in Kursk Oblast, according to Ukraine's military authorities.
Here's the Freshened-Up Version:
Over the past day, a staggering 200 skirmishes have cropped up along the front line. On May 6, 2025, the Russian onslaught was mainly targeted at the Pokrovsk front, with 78 attacks being thwarted by the Ukrainian resistance. Interestingly, on the previous day, May 5, a total of 78 Russian attacks were repelled in this region[2][4]. However, yesterday, specific areas of the Pokrovsk direction saw only 27 attacks being foiled by the Ukrainian forces[5]. This goes to show that the number of assaults can fluctuate from one day to another, with the total being significantly higher on May 5.
The clashes on the Kharkiv front included four skirmishes near the village of Vovchansk. On the Kupiansk front, the Ukrainian forces successfully repelled five attacks near Zahryzove, and towards Novoosynove and Hlushkivka. The Lyman front witnessed Russian forces launching 31 attacks, attempting to advance near Hrekivka, Novomykhailivka, Nove, Kolodiazi, Myrne, Torske, and Zelena Dolyna, and towards other settlements.
On the Kramatorsk front, Ukrainian defenders repelled four attacks near Chasiv Yar and Kurdiumivka, and towards Bila Hora. On the Toretsk front, six Russian attacks were recorded in the areas of Toretsk and Ozarianivka.
The Pokrovsk front saw intense action, with 78 assaults being repelled near settlements such as Sukha Balka, Stara Mykolaivka, Vodiane Druhe, Novotoretske, Shevchenko, Udachne, Uspenivka, Troitske, Kotliarivka, Bohdanivka, and Andriivka[4]. On the Novopavlivka front, Ukrainian forces repelled 24 Russian attacks near Novopil, Novosilka, Pryvilne, and Komar, and towards Odradne[3].
Russian troops launched attacks on Ukrainian positions seven times near the village of Vysoke on the Huliaipole front and 14 times near settlements such as Stepove, Mali Shcherbaky, and Kamianske on the Orikhiv front, amongst others[3]. On the Siversk and Prydniprovske fronts, the Russians did not conduct any offensive operations.
In Russia's Kursk Oblast, Ukrainian troops successfully repelled 18 attacks. The Russians carried out 330 artillery attacks, including eight using multiple-launch rocket systems, and launched 12 airstrikes, dropping 27 guided aerial bombs[4]. On the Volyn and Polissia fronts, no signs of Russian offensive group formations have been detected[4].
Despite the ongoing clashes, Ukrainian forces continue to inflict substantial losses on Russian personnel and equipment, and are actively disrupting the Russians' offensive potential in the rear[4].
