The G7 countries, together with international financial institutions, have agreed to provide almost $20 billion in financial assistance to Ukraine. In Donetsk oblast, the Russians fired on the positions of Ukrainian units in Lyman, Siversk, Lysychansk, and Sievierodonetsk districts. In Luhansk oblast, the Russians are trying to reach new frontiers in the area of Popasna. On the evening of May 20, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that it had "liberated" the Azovstal plant in Mariupol — probably all Ukrainian defenders had left.
