Daily Ukraine map thread for Friday 2nd May 2025

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.

Weekend Ukraine map thread for Saturday 5th April 2025

Highlights: More victims from the Russian strikes in Kryvyi Rih are marked. Too many of them children.

Russian forces advance in Basivka, Sumy, as well as at Vesele north of Velyka Novosilka.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Friday 4th April 2025

Highlights: Russian missile strikes civilians in Kryvyi Rih, killing many including children. The videos are awful

Small focus on the Svatove direction today (map), thanks to @ZoamSc2 geolocating all the 3rd Assault Brigade video from their assault on Nadiya last month.

The front is relatively stable as it has been for the past two years, with a Russian advantage throughout despite high casualties. Key areas still (same as last year really) remain the Russian salient that developed into a bigger problem at Pischane, the Russian advances over the Oskil to the north, and the Russian advances near Torske and Zarichne.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Wednesday 19th March 2025

Highlights: No significant changes compared to yesterday. Further Ukrainian losses seen from their Demidovka, Belgorod incursion yesterday

We'll do a small dive into the Svatove to Kreminna front though - small Russian advances over the course of 2024 eventually resulted in the capture of Terny village for a very heavy price. Since then, smaller advances have continued to Ivanivka and Yampolivka, which threatens Torske and Zarichne. We'll see what develops over 2025, but right now it's so glacially slow it's not a pressing issue.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Tuesday 18th March 2025

Highlights: Large busy day of geolocations today

Ukrainian forces assaulted into Belgorod oblast near Demidovka with ~10-20 vehicles, suffered losses. Remains to be seen what else occurred, we've only seen the Russian PoV of two Bradleys and a Wisent taken out barely a kilometer from the border so far

Russian forces assaulted near Druzhba over the past few days, took casualties. Russian infantry managed to walk north of Krymske and enter a dugout

Ukrainian attack on Kostyantynopil, and Russian forces shelled at Stepove in western Zaporizhia.

Highlights: Small map focus on the area that hasn't seen much change until now in western Zaporizhia. Russian forces have made small moves into Pyatykhatky and now Mali Shcherbaky

Daily Ukraine map thread for Sunday 9th March 2025

Highlights: Russian flag raises in Malaya Loknya, and also we just saw a raise in Martynovka by 1434th Akhmat-Chechnya Regiment - which means if they're raising a flag there, the actual fighting Russians are far closer

So far no sign of Russian forces beyond that, but we expect further flag raises momentarily. Wouldn't expect much of the Sudhza salient to be left over the next few days

Also, Russian flag raises in Kostyantynopil in the Kurakhove direction

Heavy fighting continues in many areas, but geolocations today were mostly Toretsk and southwest of Pokrovsk in Shevchenko

Daily Ukraine map thread for Thursday 6th March 2025

Highlights: Russian forces from 98th Air Assault Division assaulted Chasiv Yar with significant numbers today. Geolocators are working the hits, but 24th Mech claimed they inflicted heavy casualties (16/25 vehicles damaged/destroyed). Whether the Russian forces took any positions remains to be seen, it's being worked now

Reduced some Ukrainian presence near Bilohorivka, as Russian motorcycle troops sighted west of the village

Ukrainian forces continue their pressure on the Russian held villages near southwest Pokrovsk

Russian pressure on Kursk remains v.high

Toretsk remains a hot bed of geolocations and drone footage.

Highlights: Continued infantry fighting inside Toretsk with Ukrainian forces back in positions previously thought lost as the situation remains fluid

Small Russian assault near Nadiivka, as two Russian tanks were hit west of the village but otherwise the Pokrovsk direction remains stable

Claimed destroyed S-350 footage released recently from Spring 2024 was geolocated near Krasnopillya, Donetsk

Even more Russian losses east of Kruhlyakivka recorded, well done to the loss finders on that one.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Saturday 14th December 2024

Highlights: The 810th Marine and/or North Korean assault near Kremyanoe in Kursk seems to be the talk of the town today. There's no conclusive proof either way at this point, but we're sure it'll come out one way or the other - either way, lots of them didn't go home today (Map 2)

Toretsk shows more Russian advances today, it's very likely that Toretsk will fall before the end of January 2025 at current rate, which is fine - it's lasted for ages and it was a week one objective for the Russian forces in Feb 2022. (Map 1)

Near Pokrovsk, Russian forces advance beyond Shevchenko, but Ukrainian forces are putting up a stiff defence here. We'll see what comes of it.

Russian forces show they've closed the Kurakhove pocket near Uspenivka, with flag raises in Kurakhove, Uspenivka, Vesely Hai and Hannivka

Ukrainian forces advance into Hlyboke again. It's from a few weeks ago, but only getting the geolocations now.

All in all, a relatively decent year for Ukraine this year - could have been better, but could have been far worse - they're still in the fight and causing horrendous casualties to the Russian invaders. Russian forces have simply not remotely accomplished their goals for the year, and haven't even pushed the Ukrainians out of Kursk oblast. More grinding attrition for the near future it seems

Daily Ukraine map thread for Thursday 5th December 2024

Highlights: Ukrainian forces continue their withdrawal from the Katerynivka salient, with Russian forces raising the flag in Romanivka and also entering Uspenivka

Heavy fighting continues in Toretsk, with Russian forces entering the mine complex and also taking over the entire high rise district

Not a bad day as far as things go, withdrawals seem to be progressing in a stable manner with decent strikes on advancing Russian forces.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Monday 2nd December 2024

Highlights: Russian forces advance to the waste heaps west of the Zalbalka district, Toretsk

Velyka Novosilka and Kurakhove directions look particularly bad for Ukraine, and it wouldn't surprise us if Kurakhove didn't last the week.

Russia's Human Safari in Kherson continues with no sign of abatement, intentionally slaughtering civilians in Kherson with drones.

Russian mechanized forces entered Dalnje south of Kurakhove, before being seemingly repelled by 33rd Mech.

Russian flag raise in Novoselidivka north of Kurakhove.

Claimed substantial Russian advance on the Zaporizhia front, but so far no more details there, so we'll keep an eye out.
