The Russian Armed Forces continue the special military operation in Ukraine. As of the morning of May 12, the situation along the line of combat contact was reported as follows.

In the Sumy sector, Russian forces are repelling Ukrainian counterattacks near Miropolskoye. In Krasnopolsky District, Ukrainian forces used the ceasefire to reinforce units of the 119th Territorial Defense Brigade.

On the Kharkov front, Ukrainian troops moved personnel to forward positions using vehicles belonging to civilian emergency services. Units of the 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade in the village of Granov were reinforced by several groups of servicemen.
