Ukraine🇺🇦 facing difficulties on the frontline is digging huge fortifications across Donbass and Zaporijia oblasts.
I already talked about the "Donbass line" facing the Surovikin system. There is now a Syrsky line similar to Russian🇷🇺one.

This is Avdiivka map, my own work with the help of "playfra" on discord.
After the Ukrainian defenses west of Avdiivka collapsed, the Russian army is now facing the first line of defense.
This line is not optimal for defense but it is still good since there are lakes and water bodies supporting it.
I think the Russian army is going to take Orlivka and it will advance in the hole of the defensive line west of it.
Since the end of december, the Ukrainian army has been impoving its defensive lines. The secondth one is the best one, helped with lakes and a river. The approch to Niu York, Oukrainsk and Selydove won't be easy.
(defenses being improved everyday)
I won't talk much about Bakhmout since i havn't updated the map. You can undestrand that the village of Ivanivske was well defended, but the main line is on the canal in front of Tchasiv Yar.
This is the news of the day: the Ukrainian army is building a big line all along Zaporijia oblast, with anti-tank ditches and trenches just as Russian did a few kilometers south.
I can't share satellite pictures for now, but you have to understand it is really impresive.
Finally, after Russian advance in Novomykhailivka, the Ukrainian armed forces began to dig new defenses east and south of Kourakhove, including this big anti-tank ditch.
This is how it looks like ⬇️
And to conclude, a vision of the entire frontline.
This is my first work about it.

Alors que se tient le 12ème sommet de l'organisation des Etats Turciques 🇹🇷 en Azerbaïdjan, les pays centrasiatiques prouvent une fois de plus leur éloignement avec la Russie.
🧵THREAD🧵1/15 ⬇️
Depuis 2022, l’Asie centrale amorce un tournant géopolitique majeur.
Longtemps dans le giron russe, la région s’émancipe progressivement de Moscou. Cet éloignement n’est ni brutal ni uniforme, mais il est désormais irréversible.
La guerre en Ukraine a agi comme un catalyseur.
Pour les dirigeants centrasiatiques de l'ex URSS, la Russie n’est plus un garant de stabilité, mais un facteur d’incertitude.
Dès lors, la priorité devient l’autonomie stratégique et la diversification des partenariats.
*123 000 russian 🇷🇺 soldiers got killed in 2025 in Ukraine 🇺🇦, more than the french 🇫🇷 ground forces.
In total, 281 550 russian soldiers were lost in 2025 as per leaked report. It includes 123 000 killed and missing and 158 529 wounded.

These leaked documents were initially shared by this account @hochuzhit_com which provided these two pictures.
*I don't know about the source which seems controversial but the data seems veracious since it is close to other data collected by Mediazona, the Ukrainian General Staff and independent analysts.
There is high possibility this can be a propaganda operation, but the data can still be used.
The document is giving few interesting insights on the state of russian forces. With 83 000 killed, it's close to the Mediazona count (54 000 in August with verified data).
It is also giving data on particular units and different sectors.
Depuis que je cartographie les frappes aériennes russes, j'ai pu en localiser environ 65% (principalement à Pokrovsk, Soumy et Pokrovsk'e).
Le reste non cartographié est probablement à Kherson, Zaporizhia, Kramatorsk, Koupiansk ou Kharkiv.
Hier, j'ai publié cette carte des plus de 6 000 frappes aériennes russes entre Pokrovsk et Kostiantynivka sur les 5 derniers mois, avec différents codes couleurs.
Since few weeks, russian forces started again to push for Drujkivka, while hundreds of russians are still isolated.
I mapped all airstrikes there and at the same time, Ukraine 🇺🇦 is preparing the 3rd Donbass line🧑🔧.

Since two months, there have been a massive split between analysts. Pro-ukrainian or pro-russian sources are divided to understand how much km2 fell this month to Russia.
Many fail to understand the new logics of war.
For example :
-Some will map an area as russian because a ukrainian drone striked russian soldiers there or a russian was seen with a flag.
-Some will map a large grey zone
I would myself map the grey zone for one main reason :
C'était le titre d'une conférence à laquelle j'avais assisté en 2022 auprès de la communauté arménienne en France. A l'époque, l'Azerbaïdjan🇦🇿 avait envahit 300km2 d'Arménie.
Pourtant, le contexte a changé et les enjeux aussi
🧵THREAD🧵1/19⬇️
J'ai terminé de cartographier l'ensemble des positions militaires arméniennes et azerbaïdjanaises le long de leur frontière bilatérale.
En tout, ce sont plus de 1 400 positions arméniennes et 1 000 positions azerbaïdjanaises recensées.
Ces positions nous permettent de voir la vulnérabilité arménienne, encerclée de deux côté, notamment au sud, par l'Azerbaïdjan.
On remarque également les quelques 300 km2 de terres arméniennes (frontière de 1991) occupés par l'Azerbaïdjan, ici à Vardenis.
