The ceasefire from May 9-11 generally held in the sense that there were no major attacks and no substantial battles, just drone hunting along the front line. Both sides used the break to rotate troops and reinforce positions. Then they got back to killing each other.

In the past seven days (roughly May 8-15), there have been no reports of large-scale, significant ground battles involving multiple vehicles (three or more armored vehicles/tanks in coordinated assaults) in the Russo-Ukraine War. Before and after that window, there was limited action with minor changes in ground held. One of the better-documented took place in the Kharkiv region, on Friday, when Ukrainian forces, including the 129th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade, recaptured the village of Oradne in a deliberate assault. The was primarily an infantry-drone-artillery attack with the overall ground force about the size of a platoon. The Ukrainians claimed 56+ killed and more wounded. No outside confirmation outside Ukraine army-related sources, info probably is still coming in.
