Kramatorsk City Centre yesterday.

There are still a lot of civilians around.

The filming location (48.736990, 37.587373) is less than 12 km from the frontline.

Ukrainian forces have recaptured the village of Lypivka, Slovyansk direction, Donetsk Oblast (Bakhmut District).

Pre-war population: ~15.
Total land area: ~0.24 km².

The third battle for Lypivka lasted approximately two weeks.

For the second month in a row and the third month in 2026, Russia has made negative net advances in Ukraine. This follows an ongoing trend of decreasing advancing since January 2026, which can be seen on this chart below.

While Russian advances across the frontline slow to a crawl, the same cannot be said for their mid-to-long-range strikes, which have reach around 10:1 in favour of Russia when excluding attacks on logistics. This, alongside their frontline firepower advantage, remains Russia's primary components of attrition against Ukraine.

2026 has not been a successful year for Russia on the frontline, especially compared to the large advances of 2024 and 2025. It remains to be seen whether 2027 will be any different.

DTEK announced that three of their power plants targeted in Russia's massive overnight combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine have ceased electricity generation after suffering "extensive damage".

These are the Prydniprovsky, Kryvyi Rih, and Ladyzhyn Thermal Power Plants in Dnipropetrovsk and Vinnytsia Oblasts. The TEC-5 and Zmiivska TPPs in Kharkiv Oblast which were also hit are not owned by DTEK, so their status is currently unknown.

Holy fuck

Coming soon:

Btw, I don't really care much about who wins. Both parties are two sides of the same warmongering coin.

But I can't deny that watching the chaos within the Republican Party would be entertaining.

$20 Billion to Israel and openly gay vs. $20 to Israel and secretly gay.

I love democracy

Also, amid all this midterm shit, I just got back from voting in my own country's election today. Luckily here our elections aren't quite as cooked as in America, but it could still be a lot better.

"We're going to win so much, you're going to be so sick and tired of winning, you're going to come to me say, 'Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don't want to win anymore. It's too much."

We here at AMK Mapping have the most professional coverage of the midterm elections 😁

No, but in all honesty, if you want some actual high-quality reporting on this, check out my friends at Tabz and Warfront Witness as they've consistently proven to be the most reliable with this sort of stuff.

And no, they didn't ask me to say this.

For the first time since 1988, the Democrats have won the Senate election in Texas

This is a massacre

Any second now

Ukraine's counteroffensive has now been expanded to a new front - the Borova direction. Ukrainian forces are now advancing along a 135 km-long section of the frontline.

Ukrainian forces are carrying out a coordinated series of counterattacks northeast of Borova near the villages of Borivska Andriivka, Zelenyi hai, Novojehorivka, and Vyshneve, where infiltrations have been recorded at a depth of at least 5 km from the previous frontline. It remains to be seen how successful these attacks have been so far, in terms of consolidation.

The primary assault vector remains the central sector along and across the Zherebets River - east and northeast of Lyman. Smaller-scale counterattacks are taking place east of Kramatorsk and Slovyansk, as well as along the Kharkiv-Luhansk regional border in the Borova direction.
