At least 274 civilians were killed and 1,763 injured: the highest toll since April 2022, and almost double the figure recorded in May 2025.
When Russia cannot advance, it terrorizes. Ukrainian civilians pay the price.

[The European Union in Jamaica @EUinJamaica]

Russia managed to occupy only a few square kilometres of Ukrainian territory in May 2026 - its slowest advance in three years. At the same time, it attacked Ukrainian cities 8,351 times - the highest number since March 2022.

To fill the gap: 27,000 foreign recruits from 130 countries. Many coerced or deceived to die for Kremlin's imperial delusions.
Foreign recruits might buy time. But it is already clear: Russia is running out of men for the war and for the economy.

[The European Union in Jamaica @EUinJamaica]

Russia is assumed to have limitless manpower.
In reality, its working age male population is eroded: low birthrates, high mortality, mass emigration and catastrophic battlefield losses over 1.3 million since 2022.

Higher oil prices give Russia short-term breathing space. They do not fix the structural damage. The pressure continues.

[The European Union in Jamaica @EUinJamaica]

Oil prices may have risen because of the Iran conflict, but they will not save Russia's economy. Windfall gains were significantly offset by a stronger currency and subsidy payments to oil companies and refiners.

[The European Union in Jamaica @EUinJamaica]

EU sanctions, now 20 packages in force, continue to restrict Russia's access to technology, finance, logistics and energy markets, imposing long-term structural costs.

Congratulations to all the inspiring winners and participants!
