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. 2/ A Russian BM-21 Grad was destroyed by Ukrainian 42nd Mech FPV drone near Sribne, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine

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. 2/ Powerful detonation of Russian vehicle carrying soldiers (and presumed ammo) after FPV drone strike. Siversk, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine

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. 2/ Compilation of the RU 1472nd Regiment (68th Army Corps) trying to stop Ukrainian advances in West Donetsk.

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. 2/ A train with fuel tankers is hit with drones by the 1st unmanned systems center of Ukraine near Novosimeikyne, Luhansk.

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. 2/ High res of destruction at Orion UAV hangars in Kirovske airfield, Crimea

Daily Ukraine map thread for Monday 20th April 2026

Ukraine deep strikes into the occupied territories continue to wreak havoc, with logistics points hit across the back line and no sign of it slowing down.

Prymary drones struck two landing ships in Sevastopol - notably NOT Fire Point drones.

Tuapse was struck further, causing massive smoke clouds across the area. It appears to be burning at multiple points, but as always, we'll wait for the full damage assessment - right now we estimate approximately 8 storage tanks have gone up, so there's plenty more to hit. 2/ Many storage tanks on fire following an extensive attack by Ukraine on the oil depot in Tuapse, Russia.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Thursday 26th March 2026

Leningrad Oblast and St Petersburg have had a bad week, with Ukrainian drone halting 40% of Russian Baltic oil exports with strikes at Primorsk (destroying at least 6 large storage tanks and hits on the oil terminal with tankers hit), Ust-Luga destroying numerous tanks and hitting the export facilities, and then a seemingly strange one of a strike in Vyborg which caused an icebreaker to collapse onto the ship next to it.

On the front, Russian forces still attempt to push forwards, but there's no significant changes to report as Ukraine are denying them constantly, and long range drone strikes continue to batter Russian logistics. Geolocations follow: 2/ 110th Mech troop rotation east of Ternuvate. As so many of us have pointed out, Russia is deep into lying out their cornhole about the situation here

Highlights: As we enter February, things are following a similar trajectory as 2025 thus far. Ukrainian forces retake Novoyakovlivka in west Zaporizhia and capture Russian infantry

Ukrainian forces also seen in areas that seemed heavily Russian occupied in Kostyantynivka, indicating still contested.

Highlights: Russian footage from the Baltic Fleet Motor Rifle Regiment and 1465th Motor Rifle Regiment south of Kostyantynivka show Ukrainian presence in Yablunivka.

Some small changes to the front in the Hulyaipole direction marked too, where Ukrainian regained some positions west of Solodke.

14th Chervona Kalyna show a Russian motorbike assault in the snow towards Rodynske. At this point, the non frontline casualties of the Russian motorcyclists must be well into the thousands - we know all too well how men ride motorbikes and crash with injuries, let alone under fire. 2/ Russian forces attacked a Ukrainian dugout east of Dobropillia, Zaporizhzhia oblast with multiple FPV drones and drone dropped grenades, showing a Ukrainian advance.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Thursday 15th January 2026

Highlights: Another brief return to the Lyman direction, where Russian forces have been geolocated in Dibrova and Ozerne to the southeast of Lyman. The area to the northwest remains marked grey for now, though we've seen nothing more either good or bad from this area.

In the same general area of operations albeit over a year ago, the former commander of the 60th Mechanised Brigade has been arrested after siphoning off roughly 47 million UAH ($1.1 million) in drone supplies during 2024. A little reminder that failures don't just come from enemy infiltration, but from rot inside the units themselves. 2/ 156th Mechanized Brigade hits a presumed Russian-held dugout with a Queen Hornet Dive Bomber drop south of Berestok

Daily Ukraine map thread for Thursday 8th January 2026

Highlights: The focus is on the Lyman direction, where the grey area no longer appears particularly grey. Some Russian infantry have been sighted in Sviatohirsk, moving openly along the road in snowy conditions. This strongly suggests that the clearing operations previously reported in Sosnove and Yarova during December have failed, and that the front in this sector remains broken.

I avoid using the term DRGs here, as this is not a case of highly trained infiltrators penetrating defended positions. Rather, it shows Ukraine's inability to sufficiently man the line to prevent enemy movement. The fact that Russian forces have not yet exploited these gaps at scale does not mean the front is sound - only that Russian capacity to capitalise remains limited.

A similar pattern is visible elsewhere. Russian flag raisings in Podoly, east of Kupiansk, occurred well inside what is mapped as Ukrainian-controlled territory, again pointing to a front under severe strain rather than isolated incursions.

Russian forces also raised a flag in Brat'ske, over the Haichur river in Dnipropetrovsk oblast, and advanced in north east Kharkiv to Dvorichanske

As 2026 begins, Ukraine continues to recruit well below the levels required to even stabilise the line with no sign of that changing. We've covered this before, and aren't going to beat a dead horse. 2/ PoV of Salyut aircraft factory on fire in Moscow

Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Key Summary 2025

In December 2024 we said two things that upset people:
- There's plenty of war left
- We hope Russia advances 4000 square kilometers (Hold your outrage)

We'll be covering in this thread 🧵on what that meant in 2025, and beyond 2/ In 2025, the war was firmly settled into attritional drone warfare, where Russia decided that they'd save their few remaining vehicles and attempt to advance with manpower, taking and accepting the resultant trade off in personnel casualties.

Warspotting shows equipment losses are about 60% of 2024 (when you factor in lag time and an additional 500 or so to come). Tanks are at 519 this year vs 1139 last, and AFVs are at 1316 this year vs 3073 last. It's not difficult to see why the personnel casualties have rocketed

Daily Ukraine map thread for Sunday 7th December to Wednesday 10th December 2025

Highlights: Large update today as we condense Sunday through Wednesday into one, due to lack of personnel. We'll do a full front round up to make up for it.

Vovchansk - Russian forces advanced slightly to Lyman (different one) in north Kharkiv, as well as being sighted in Vilcha.

Kupyansk - Ukrainian forces sighted in north Kupyansk, indicating Ukrainian pushback is succeeding in the city. Ukrainian forces also retook much of the territory back to Stepova Novoselivka (Map 1)

Lyman - Infiltration via the woodlands means Russian forces snuck through to Yarova. Heavy fighting continues here, in the tough forested area.

Siversk - Heavy fighting in Siversk itself as Russian forces try to breach the river. (Map 2)

Kostyantynivka - Heavy fighting as usual here, no significant changes as Russian forces continue to expend large amounts of manpower to advance a few yards.

Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad - Russian forces sighted in Myrnohrad as they try and capture the town, and the supply line is very very contested for Ukrainian forces coming in and out. There was a large Russian assault in west Pokrovsk towards Hryshyne, especially on quads, resulting in lots of burning wrecks along the road. (Map 3)

Dnipropetrovsk / East Zaporizhia -
Proof of the Ukrainian recapture of Ivanivka came in, showing numerous Russian KIA and PoWs taken. 67th Mech also released a video, undated, of the capture of numerous Russian PoWs across the river south of Orestopil. Russian forces press in on Hulyaipole, with drones striking Russian positions within the northeastern residential section. (Map 4)

Elsewhere, Ukrainian USVs struck the sanctioned Russian oil tanker 'Dashan' in the Black Sea today, seemingly disabling it. This is the third confirmed tanker hit over the past few weeks, discounting the one disabled near Senegal which was unconfirmed.

As this is being typed, a large Ukrainian UAV attack on Russia is underway.
