Daily Ukraine map thread for Friday 8th May 2026

An early one today, showcasing just some of the mid and long range strikes of the past couple of days.

Other long range strikes not included include the Karakurt class Tucha hit in the Caspian sea, more strikes on warehouses and logistics, Rostov being and Yaroslavl refinery burning again. There are many other strikes, also included on the map which you can find via the link in our profile. Many thanks to the geolocators here.

Very little change on the front, still heavy infantry pressure on the front, but the distinct lack of vehicles means Russia can't really capitalise on any of it and they just end up out of position and eliminated. Those new plinths at the memorials aren't going to fill themselves.Ukraine long range strikes as of 8th May 2026

Daily Ukraine map thread for Thursday 2nd July 2026

We're back from a short jaunt to the east, and catch up has begun. You'll likely have seen the long range strikes already, so we'll just catch you up on the midstrike campaign.

Around Donetsk, Russian bloggers published plenty of footage from the truck depots and other storage sites for many logistics vehicles, showing the devastating effect the drones have had on availability of vehicles. Drivers continue to show burning trucks by the side of the road too, as traffic gets hammered. If you think it's bad right now, just wait until next month...

Many thanks to the geolocators for their work on this, once again we can only highlight a few of the key ones in this thread, but the many hundreds of others are on the map and in the log.Some occupied Donetsk strikes from 29th June to 2nd July 2026

Daily Ukraine map thread for Friday 19th June 2026

A focus on Kherson and Crimea today, where examples of a few of the strikes released recently by different units can be observed. Needless to say, someone in the back of a pickup truck with small arms simply isn't going to do do much to these fast moving drones except feel good about trying.

As we've mentioned in the past, we got a LOT of the footage of destroyed trucks and so on from drivers recorded them in the occupied territories. Russia have clamped down on this, so strikes haven't really changed all that much - we just see a bit less from the traffic side of things.

The short version is the logistics strikes are working fine, despite Russian efforts to obfuscate it. Is it enough yet? No, but it's having an effect, and we're only 3.5 months into it with little sign of slowing down. We suspect the train strikes are having a very oversized effect.Crimea as of 19th June 2026

Daily Ukraine map thread for Monday 15th June 2026

Kyiv and other cities were struck by numerous missiles last night. Whilst most of the footage was of attacks on the Lavra, it looks like a Firepoint drone production or assembly facility was hit somewhere judging by some of the photos going around of stacked wing spars in wreckage. As always, loose lips sink ships and all that - if you're hearing it from us, that means it's long gone public ready.

The Ukrainian midstrike and long range campaign continues apace. Numerous units from across the spectrum show destroyed vehicles. The lesser shown off short range drones are still destroying many many vehicles, as demonstrated by a Russian quad driving a short distance towards Hulyaipole coming across at least 17 wrecks.

No BDA from Rybinsk Strategic Oil Reserve yet, but Tamanneftegaz shows three further large oil tanks destroyed. Plenty more to go.Occupied territories as of 15th June 2026

Daily Ukraine map thread for Sunday 14th June 2026

After yesterdays footage, Russian sources released further videos showing Ukrainian forces advancing and clearing positions across an area of roughly 200 km² in the western Donetsk / eastern Dnipropetrovsk direction.

Mid strikes are continuing to rip and tear across the occupied territories, with videos coming out constantly. Long range strikes show no sign of abating either, as Ukraine hit the reserve oil storage in Rybinsk - that's 250 km north east of Moscow.Ukrainian advances in Dnipropetrovsk / West Donetsk

Daily Ukraine map thread for Monday 4th May 2026

Highlights: A focus of a months worth of publically published geolocations at one of the most hectic sites at the front, the town of Kostyantynivka. Russian infiltrators have taken heavily casualties but have been sighted numerous times infiltrating into the central part of town.

Elsewhere, a Ukrainian drone struck an apartment in Mosfilm Tower. No further significant damage was recorded at Primorsk on satellite imagery after the strikes there.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Wednesday 29th April 2026

Highlights: Today we zoom out, to look at a handful of the strikes done this month (April) alone. In one of the longest successful strikes thus far, Perm pumping station was hit by a strike causing two large storage tanks to burn heavily. A Lyuity type drone also reached Orsk refinery near the Kazakhstan border.

In a rare interesting midstrike, a forward operating base for Russian army aviation was struck, destroying an Mi-17 and Mi-28.

On the front, the flanks at Kostyantynivka are under severe pressure. The entire Kostyantynivka to west of Siversk area is under severe threat.

Elsewhere, we've pulled Russian presence back. The Dniper islands, which we hadn't touched for quite some time, as one example.Long range strikes during April 2026
