Daily Ukraine map thread for Friday 17th October 2025
Highlights: Footage of Russian infiltrations into Pokrovsk and ambushes on Ukrainian soldiers continue. Due to the latest footage circled below, we've marked the entire western side as grey until proven otherwise.
Russian forces advanced seven kilometers into Pryvillia in Dnipropetrovsk oblast to raise a flag, putting further credence to the Ukrainians fell back over the river theorem. Whilst flag raises can just be a PR stunt somethings, you cannot just ignore flag raises and the issues that have arose where it's made this situation possible.

Russian forces (Marines and attempted another large mechanized assault northeast of Pokrovsk today. Things did not appear to go well for the Russian forces. As of right now, the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems killboard for today alone is 8 tanks damaged, 2 destroyed, and 35 AFVs damaged, 9 destroyed.
Elsewhere, Ukrainian forces were geolocated in central Oleksiivka, Sumy, likely having taken the settlement back.
Feodosia oil and fuel depot was struck yet again last night and is still burning. Capacity should be below half now, as it's the second time it's been struck this month.
2/ Many Russian dismounts struck and dead near Novoekonomichne

Daily Ukraine map thread for Friday 26th September 2025
Highlights: Afipsky refinery hit last night by Ukrainian drones. It's the third time it's been struck with visible damage since this latest refinery campaign began in August.
Russian forces are shown to have advanced near Siversk, infiltrating near Dronivka and north of the settlement itself.
Russian fuel train derailed after leaving Belarus, and hitting truck at crossing. Sabotage or accident, you decide.
Daily Ukraine map thread for Thursday 25th September 2025
Highlights: Very little to report on the battlefield, bar Russia grinding slowly forward in numerous areas, but glacially slow and for a horrifically high cost. Key areas remain at Kupiansk in the Kupiansk direction, at Yampil and Shandryholove in the Lyman direction, at Siversk in the Siversk direction and south of Kostyantynivka in the eponymous direction. NE of Pokrovsk in the Dobropillya area remains a grey area despite it being six weeks later, and the Russian naval infantry has entered the fight doing what they do - head on.
Continued Russian failures to do much of anything on the battlefield have allowed time for Ukraine to improve their drone programme, which is reaping dividends at the moment. Not dividends for the oligarches in charge of oil refineries however!
Prymary drones of the HUR continue to strike at Crimea, with an An-26 at Kacha airfield hit, causing a fire, whilst also striking radars near the coast. There is nothing to suggest these strikes will diminish.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Saturday 6th September 2025
Highlights: Geolocations show a Russian advance beyond Shandryholove to the road near Drobysheve before being halted.
Russian mechanized assault towards Myrnohrad spotted, five vehicles claimed destroyed.
We've adjusted numerous icons to further reflect the changing nature of the war. Refineries are added, as are many of the new Corps units. Many smaller older unit cards have been folded into their parent units and transferred to the archive box. Many thanks to @Davommeh for their high res insignias.
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.
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.
