For reference:

It should be noted that on May 19, the Russian naval minesweeper "Kovrovets" was destroyed in Crimea by the Naval Forces of Ukraine's armed forces.

According to the military command, the Defense Forces successfully thwarted the enemy's efforts to push further into the country's territory. While the situation at the front in Ukraine remains tense, it is currently under control.

On the night of May 20, the occupiers launched a series of attacks on several regions using Shahed-131/136 drones. Thankfully, the Ukrainian naval forces were able to successfully destroy four of these drones in the southern part of the country. Additionally, air defense forces were active in the Lviv region.
