Daily Ukraine map thread for 1st to 5th September 2025
Highlights: We've returned, and will focus on the changes that occurred on the front whilst away.
At the Kreminna / Lyman direction, fighting continues over Torske and Zarichne, whilst the northern flank continues to fail as Russian forces approach Drobysheve to cut the route - which is well and truly interdicted by drone at this point too. There is also heavy fighting near Serebryanka on the Siversk side of the river as Russian forces continuously attack there.
At Kupiansk, Russian infiltrators raised a flag in the centre of the town before being hit by a drone. We've warned numerous times that the Ukrainians saying the situation under control in this area are lying about the situation, but nothing seems to get done. Regardless, the north half of the town is a grey area and threatens the east bank substantially at this point due to lack of action.
In Western Donetsk and into Dnipropetrovsk oblasts, Russian forces continue to advance here, raising a flag in Novoselivka, whilst flag raising groups occur on both sides near Dachne and Filiya.
In Western Zaporizhia, a recent Russian mechanized assault almost reached Novodanylivka before being destroyed. Another attack occurred near Mala Tokmachka, but went about as well as the previous attacks with AFVs destroyed. Russia forces continue to attack on foot towards Stepnohirsk on the edge of the old reservoir.
At Pokrovsk, Ukrainian forces captured numerous Russian PoWs when they attacked into Boikivka, as well as retook Udachne. Russian forces attacked from Novoekonomischne into Myrnohrad but appear repelled. Note the Russian Naval Infantry force shift in this region.
At Kostyantynivka, Russian forces continue to advance with infiltration groups almost reaching the town.
In more optimistic news for Ukraine, the long range strike campaign has definitely improved. Last night Ryazan refinery was hit again, and fuel storage in Luhansk was also struck. Numerous radar sites and AD sites were struck during August as well.
4/ Russian forces used a BM-27 Uragan to shell Ukrainian positions in west Vovchansk. It is difficult to date the video, but the browner ground means it is likely more recent.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Saturday 9th August 2025
Highlights: Yet another Russian drone strike on a civilian bus in Kherson area results in dead and many injured.
Russian forces advance slightly at Shcherbynivka in the Toretsk direction, and also northeast of Pokrovsk. The Lyman direction also remains dangerous, we have advanced Russian control near Kolodyazi by half a treeline.
Daily Ukraine map thread for Saturday 26th July 2025
Highlights: Few changes on the ground today. Russian flag raise in Zelenyi Hai, west Donetsk, as well as in Maliivka, Dnipropetrovsk oblast, both shown below.
Russian forces also infiltrated the Kreminna forest and raised a flag three kilometers deep.
HUR posts Su-27UB at Armavir sabotaged and set alight, damaging it. Honestly, they'd have better luck with sledge hammers than this amateur fire starting attempts.
Daily Ukraine map thread for Friday 25th July 2025
Highlights: Russian forces continue their pushes near Kostyantynivka and Pokrovsk, where the situation continues to degrade for Ukrainian troops to the north east of Pokrovsk, and DRGs continue to operate inside Pokrovsk boundaries from the southwest.
Russian forces raise flags in Novoekonomichne
Russian forces advance near Kupiansk again near Tyshchenkivka. Check the map for details, but yes, one of those situations where a lack of troops and initiative on Ukraine's side is putting the amount of Ukrainian troops and equipment in danger on the east side. We've covered it many times, and we feel like a broken record for repeating it so won't bother going into more detail. It's still very minor in the overall war.
Daily Ukraine map thread for Tuesday 22nd July 2025
Highlights: Back to focus on the Toretsk and Pokrovsk sectors today, where Ukrainian forces have lost more positions to the Russian advances.
Russian flag raises in Bila Hora by the 7th Military Base's 77th Motor Rifle Regiment, finally advancing there. Russian forces also advanced to Poltavka, and there are claims that Russian forces reached Nove Shakove, a 7 kilometer advance from where we have them currently.
Russian forces also entered Zvirove, and DRGs also enter Pokrovsk proper, ambushing Ukrainian forces. Manpower situation remains critical, and no signs of any alleviation politically for Ukraine.
2/15 A Russian soldier gets trapped in barbed wire and is struck by two drone dropped grenades of the Ukrainian 47th Artillery Brigade near Zvirove, Donetsk oblast, in Pokrovsk direction.
Daily Ukraine map thread for Tuesday 15th July 2025
Highlights: Focus a bit on the Toretsk area today, rather than Pokrovsk which is also in a spot of bother. Russian forces advanced to take the rest of Novospaske after the flag raise yesterday.
The Toretsk area is fascinating. In almost three and a half years, Russia have gotten just ten kilometers past the old borders here for who knows how many thousands of dead. Wonder how many more dead won't see the next ten kilometers...
