ISW Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, May 10, 2025
Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov rejected another US-Ukrainian general ceasefire proposal on May 10 amid continued Russian demands that any future ceasefire include conditions that support Russia’s long-term goal of gaining control of all of Ukraine and would allow Russia to resume offensive operations from a more advantageous position at a time of its choosing.
The UK and French-led Coalition of the Willing expressed support for the US-Ukrainian proposal of a general ceasefire of 30 days or more on May 10.
Iran will reportedly deliver short-range ballistic missile launchers to Russia for use in Ukraine.
The United States Embassy in Kyiv issued a statement on May 9 warning of a significant Russian air strike against Ukraine over the next several days — potentially involving Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missiles.
US and Western military support remains vital to Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russian aggression.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced in Kursk Oblast, and Russian forces recently advanced near Toretsk, Pokrovsk, and Kurakhove.
