First, the Avdiivka area. I changed the area between Novoselivka Druha and Krasnohorivka to a gray area (A). I am not sure if Russia ever really controlled that area.
Russians claim they are attacking Avdiivka from the direction of Spartak. They may be attacking Zenit. I am not sure. I have the arrow pointing at Avdiivka, but they may mean Zenit. (B)

There were a lot of shelling reports out of Sumy today. I do not believe any of these targets were shelled very heavily. Likely 2 or 3 shells in each location.
Russians continue their attacks around Kreminna without any success.

Russians are heavily shelling Kupyansk, Dvorichna, Petropavlivka, and the areas between them. They are looking for crossing points across the Oskil river north of Dvorichna, and we may see an attempt to cross the river in the future.
Russians have made several attempts to attack Novoselivske (1) and Stelmakhivka (2) without success.
In the Kupyansk area there is ongoing fighting in the forests. Ukraine performed heavier than usual artillery strikes in this area. I don't know of any territorial changes.
The Kreminna and Siversk areas are more or less status quo. Fighting in the forests near Kreminna, fighting near Bilohorivka south of Kreminna, and minor fighting in all of the front line towns around Siversk. No changes.

North of Kupyansk, in the Hryanykivka and Dvorichne area, Russian troops have pushed Ukraine back to their main line of defense along the railway. Their attempts to penetrate this defensive line have failed.
Russia has declared this some sort of victory, claiming they control the eastern part of Dvorichne. In reality, the east part was a gray area, and the Russian assault stopped when it met real resistance.
Here is an update as of the morning of February 1st, 2023. This report will not include news from February 1st. #ukrdailyupdate (shhh)

Russia is continuing their shellings of Ukrainian towns in Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv oblasts. In addition, there are occasional rocket strikes on cities beyond the border towns and rare reports of airstrikes.
Many believe this shelling is training for artillery and mortar crews, although maybe the rocket strikes are on more important targets. These shellings frequently result in civilian casualties and deaths, particularly in Vovchansk.
Here is a daily update, I'm hoping to get back into posting these after a hiatus. #ukrdailyupdate
Today was a difficult news day. I tried to read as much as I could. I'm sure I missed a lot.

Ukraine shot drones into two Russian airbases and damaged several strategic bombers, which made Russia big sad. Confirmed Russian losses are 3 men, 1 truck, and 1 damaged bomber. Unconfirmed reports indicate possibly 2 to 4 destroyed bombers, and 3 to 6 more damaged.
Russia only has around 50 of these bombers, and with their rage, they fired more than 70 missiles into Ukraine from various platforms. Including 60 Kh-101, Kh-505, and Kalibr missiles and 10 Kh-22, Kh-59, and Kh-31P missiles. As well as many S-300 missiles.
Here is the current situation on the Donetsk front (plus one town in Luhansk). #ukrdailyupdate

First, the Luhansk town, Bilohorivka, Russia, controls the northern outskirts of the town, and they are attacking the south. Capturing this town is a priority for Russia. To my knowledge, they've had no success attacking in the past few days.
The other Bilohorivka is also contested. Wagner appears to control the southern half of the town, as I have it marked on the map. While this isn't confirmed, it seems likely true, so I have marked it this way on the map. The map could change if more information comes out.

Here is an overview of the Kupyansk, Svatove, and Kreminna areas.
North of Svatove, east of Kupyansk, Ukraine is attacking Orlyanske (1), Kyslivka (2), and Kuzemivka (3). There is heavy fighting, particularly near Kuzemivka.
A brief update for November 1st. #ukrdailyupdate
I am still working to confirm the status of various areas along the front line, so this will be light on details.

Russia fired over 100 shells, primarily mortars, into the Sumy oblast today into six towns. Unfortunately, I only know three towns (plus two more in Chernihiv oblast).
Here is an overview of the Kupyansk/Svatove area.

Black Sea Fleet = 💥💥💥, Russia = 😭😭😭
This morning, Ukraine attacked the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol with suicide drones. Perhaps both aerial and maritime drones, but certainly the naval variety.
These maritime drones are more or less robot spy canoes filled with high explosives.

Many attacks are in progress, so the news is incomplete.
In the Kupyansk area, there were rumors today of a Ukrainian breakthrough. However, I do not see evidence to support this claim. Ukraine is attacking east toward Mykolaivka (1) and Kyslivka (2), but they have not broken the Russian defenses.
There is heavy fighting going on around Kuzemivka (3). It is unknown whether Ukraine’s attack is successful, but there are likely high casualties to both attackers and defenders.
Ukraine repelled a Russian attack near Andriivka (4).

In the Kupyansk/Svatove area, Ukraine performed a few minor attacks and both sides fired some artillery. Ukrainian artillery focused on the northern side, Russian on the southern side.
Of note in this area, Popivka (near Svatove, too small to have a name at this level of zoom) has taken heavy damage from Ukrainian (and Russian) shelling. Locals fled the town, and report large Russian losses. Several dozen dead.

In the Kupyansk area, Ukraine is attacking Kuzemivka (1). However, to my knowledge, their attacks to date have failed.
However, Ukraine has “advanced to” Dzherelne (2). I am not entirely sure what this means. Maybe Ukraine is actively attacking, possibly the town is contested, or perhaps it is liberated. Regardless, Russia seems rather upset about Ukraine being near this town.
Near Kupyansk, Ukraine is applying pressure east toward Svatove. In particular, over the past few days, Ukraine attacked Kuzemivka with ground forces and aviation (1). Russia is shelling the area around the town from Svatove, which is around 15km southeast.
In the Lyman area, Ukraine is attacking east toward the P66 highway between Svatove and Kreminna (2,3,4,5). Yesterday Ukraine secured Karmazynivka (2) and Nevske (4). Locals report heavy fighting near the town of Chervonopopivka (5). Civilians are leaving Kreminna (A).
I have a short update today because not very much changed on the ground. #ukrdailyupdate

First, this part makes me physically uncomfortable because it goes against info I have from **all** of my sources, both Russian and Ukrainian, but it is hard to argue with the satellite images: This whole area east of Makiivka is a big question mark.
Ukraine posted a video destroying Russian equipment in this area, and the satellite images show it had to have happened after October 19th.
Just a kinda simple update for October 22nd. #ukrdailyupdate

Russia is doing their little border skirmishing near Ternova in Kharkiv oblast.
Ukraine doesn't seem to care about the bridgehead they established north of Kupyansk, they are attacking east from Kupyansk instead.
Update for October 20th ukrdailyupdate.com/updates/update…
Here is an update for the military situation on October 20th. I will not write about any possible future attacks from the territory of Belarus and will focus on Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.

Russia is hitting the border towns of Kharkiv with artillery, rockets, mortars, tanks, and aviation. In addition, they have launched several small attacks on the border town of Ohirtseve (1).
I am going to do a very brief update for October 13th. You could call this an update for October 11,12,13, and whatever other days I missed because not much has happened. #ukrdailyupdate
Near Kupyansk, Ukraine moved forward and appear to have liberated Pischane. I have no actual confirmation of this liberation, but Ukrainian troops are east of it and multiple Russian sources claims it is under Ukrainian control so whatever let's roll with it.
Russia has made a lot of blatantly false claims about retaking towns near Kreminna, but their claim today to have retaken Pischane (lol) and Chervonopopivka actually seem to be both reasonable and likely true. They claim to be attacking Terny, it's probably in the *direction of*.
I will post a very minor update for October 10th. #ukrdailyupdate
I am not going to talk about the massive missile attack that struck many cities across the country. Other people can cover that better than I can.

Civilians noticed a large convoy heading south through Starobilsk and towards Severodonetsk. These observations were made independently and support each other. One witness reported large numbers of infantry and BMPs (an armored vehicle that carries infantry and has a big gun).
Russians increased the rate at which they are fortifying Svatove, they also blew up bridges near the town (I am not sure which bridges).
Update for October 7-9 ukrdailyupdate.com/updates/update…
Here is my update for October 7th through October 9th. #ukrdailyupdate
Not much happened on the 7th, and on the 8th and 9th, I was sick, so it was published today, on the 10th.

In the Kharkiv area, Russia launched several minor attacks on the border region (1,2), which accomplished nothing. Russia launched airstrikes from Russian airspace and fired missiles into Kharkiv city.

In the Kupyansk area, Ukraine liberated Hlushkivka (1), and they have likely released the entire area along the Oskil river (highlighted blue). The other three towns are not confirmed, but it seems clear that Russia has abandoned them.
Update for October 4-5 ukrdailyupdate.com/updates/update…
In the past 48 hours, Ukraine has prepared for a new offensive in Luhansk oblast and mounted a successful offensive in Kherson. Meanwhile, Russia launched terrorist attacks on several Ukrainian cities.

In Kharkiv, Russia launched small attacks on Strilecha (1) and Zelene (2). These attacks do little more than force Ukraine to keep troops near the border to protect the border towns. In addition, Russia launched Geran-2 suicide drones into Kharkiv tonight. The damage is unknown.
Update for October 2-3 ukrdailyupdate.com/updates/update…
The situation unfolds faster than I can verify information, so much of what I will say will be couched in this reality. #ukrdailyupdate
In short, the Russian line collapses in Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Kherson Oblasts.

Ukraine is not making any significant attacks from the Kupyansk bridgehead in any direction. Instead, they use drones and artillery to fire on Russian positions while recon and special forces exert pressure on Russian defenses.
