Daily Ukraine map thread for Saturday 3rd May 2025
Highlights: Ukrainian drone and missile strikes last night down Russian Su-30 over the Black Sea, as well as strike multiple targets across Crimea and Russia. Ukraine claim to have hit an airfield and destroyed another airframe, but so far no clarification on that
Numerous poor situations for Ukrainian troops this week, including :-
Situation near Torske remains poor, with Russian forces continuing to advance slowly, threatening the entire area
East of Pokrovsk near Novoolenivka, the situation remains very poor, after the Russian breach there last week.
Russian forces advance in west Donetsk towards Dnipropetrovsk oblast

Highlights: Novorossiysk and Kerch under heavy drone attack this evening. One heli downed by USV with SAM it seems, but apart from that no indication on what the target was, but the bridge is open this morning so it wasn't that.
Situation east of Pokrovsk is very poor, with the undermanned Ukrainian units getting defeated near Novoolenivka. These failures won't stop happening as the fundemental problem of chronic shortage of manpower isn't getting fixed.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Friday 4th April 2025
Highlights: Russian missile strikes civilians in Kryvyi Rih, killing many including children. The videos are awful
Small focus on the Svatove direction today (map), thanks to @ZoamSc2 geolocating all the 3rd Assault Brigade video from their assault on Nadiya last month.
The front is relatively stable as it has been for the past two years, with a Russian advantage throughout despite high casualties. Key areas still (same as last year really) remain the Russian salient that developed into a bigger problem at Pischane, the Russian advances over the Oskil to the north, and the Russian advances near Torske and Zarichne.
