According to the president, 14 oblasts had been attacked on 12 May. On the night of 12-13 May, Russian forces hit residential and railway infrastructure facilities in Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv oblasts, port infrastructure facilities in Odesa Oblast and energy infrastructure facilities in Poltava Oblast.
