Daily Ukraine map thread for Saturday 10th May 2025
Highlights: Ukrainian assault into Toretsk yesterday resulted in loss of Bradleys, Marder and M113s. We're not clear on what it accomplished, if anything as of yet, but it's a peculiar one based on the depth of assault. We'll keep an eye on it
Tetkino, Kursk still remains under assault from Ukrainian forces

Highlights: Ukrainian forces breach border defences near Novyi Put' in Kursk, and attempt to breach southeast of Tetkino. So far very little information so far, as it comes from Russian drones who spotted the incursion and destroyed one vehicle. (Pic 1).
Russian motorcyclists enter Hryhorivka, west of Bilohorivka before getting destroyed by 81st Airmobile. The front has barely moved here in two years. (Pic 2)
Russian forces also enter Nova Poltavka, east of Pokrovsk as well as show minor advances near Dyliivka and south of Bahatyr
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.
