In eastern Ukraine, many of the defensive lines built by pro-Russian and Ukrainian forces during fighting between 2014 and 2022 are now inside Russian-occupied territory.

This map update shows where these older fortifications overlap with newer defenses. (1/8)

A few important notes on this map of fortifications in eastern Ukraine from 2014 to 2022:

First, this data only reflects trenches, barriers, and revetments built before February 2022 that are now within territory occupied by Russian forces. (2/8)

Second, Russian forces have not maintained or expanded most of these positions which dramatically reduces their usefulness when compared to newer defenses. (3/8)

Important notes for this map:

1) This map should not be seen as a complete list of Russia's fortifications.
2) The data does not distinguish between different types of fortifications.
3) Only defenses constructed since Russia’s full-scale invasion last year are included.
