Update.
There has been talk that the month of May is the resumption of Russian offences similar to November of last year. I doubted this when those comments came out and monthly totals show that we're not at the 700+ sq km advances of November-December of last year. Deep state has Russian advances at ~449 sq km, War Reports at ~589. These numbers are closer to Sep of last year when Russian offensive was speeding up. In general May marks the resumption of fairly large scale Russian advances in terms of territory. I would point out that the advances are spread out more evenly now, with gains being made on the Oskol front, in Sumy, around Toretsk, and in the eastern pincer of Pokrovsk, as well as more modest gains in other areas. Despite the breakthrough made east of Pokrovsk, this has not turned into a collapse of the front the way it did for Ukraine after the fall of Ocheretino.

Sumy area.
Russian forces have continued to push southward in Sumy region, taking Kondratovka, Alekseevka, Yablonovka and Andreevka. They've also broadened the front again, taking Novokonstantinovka, to the west. Meanwhile near Tetkino Ukrainian attacks continue, and they've made an inroad from the south-eastern side near Zarya.

Russian forces have withdrawn from Torskoe again. Meanwhile across the Zherebets Russian forces have resumed offensive movements after a short pause. They've pushed out west of Redkodub into Karpovka, they've made a move to encircle Zelenaya Dolina from two sides, and have gained some ground north-west of Kolodezi.

A series of Russian strikes around Redkodub. They hit several unarmored vehicles, an M113, and a BTR-82A with a typical Russian roof cage. It's possible they're finishing off one of their own abandoned vehicles. It's also possible Ukraine captured a BTR-82A with roof cage intact and was using it.
