From the editors: This post, originally published by Kyiv Post Senior Defense Correspondent Stefan Korshak on May 29, 2026, has been reformatted for publication. Lots of Ukraine war news this week, pretty much the diametric opposite of “nothing happening, nothing’s going on.”JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. The most important was that the Ukrainian bombardment campaign to destroy Russian logistics in the 50–150 km (31-93 miles) envelope with swarms of cheap drones was confirmed by practically all possible sources as real, effective and expanding. Not a one-off, not fake news, not pin pricks. The Kremlin is still stoutly pretending everything is okay, which is going to make things worse for them. It’s a little too early to talk about a turning point in the war. But honestly, what’s been going on on the roads of the southern Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions really can’t be described any other way than as mayhem. Details below. If you aren’t hearing about this in your mainstream news, then question the quality of that news. I am not kidding, it’s impossible to miss, this is a strategic bombardment campaign with the clear objective of demolishing the Russian Federation’s capacity to supply its troops in the occupied southern Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. The front Overall static but perhaps a slight positive trend for the Ukrainians in ground gained. I would say the most important bit of information about the fighting on the front was a throwaway line by Brig. Gen. Andriy Biletsky, commander 3rd Corps, who told Reuters that things on the front were not ideal but certainly better than any time since the start of the war – which we knew – and that friendly losses are distinctly less, which we suspected, but hadn’t had any hard confirmation.
