Vidéos russes 🇷🇺 et ukrainiennes 🇺🇦 montrant les équipes de défense aérienne mobile russes opérant à l'arrière de camions dans le sud de l'Ukraine pour protéger les convois stratégiques.
Ces équipes de défense aérienne mobile sont des cibles prioritaires des frappes ukrainiennes. Des milliers de soldats russes s'activent désormais à ces tâches, loin de la ligne de front, sans compter les dizaines d'équipes utilisant des drones intercepteurs pour couvrir la logistique sur les routes.

Tonight, I want to share two very useful tools to follow the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦🇷🇺
➡️@M0nstas (map 1 and 4) made a very good map gathering plenty of data, including unit positions, different frontline maps, strike data, features (roads, rivers, railways, fortifications). I like to add the grey shadow to show how large the kill zone is.
➡️@Playfra0 (map 2 and 3) just updated his map. It has some interesting and good looking tools, including a good fortification map, topographic data and two kinds of maps, polygons and heat map, which is interesting how infiltrations spills.
Both mappers are good OSINT accounts to follow, they create and gather sourced data and made useful websites that I use/will use when I have no time to create my own maps.

As I reported 15 days ago, Ukraine 🇺🇦 made it to Myrne, just north of Komar, confirming the informations I gave you back then
Fightings are ongoing on the outskirts of Komar, with Ukraine crossing the Mokri Yali river earlier to push on two axes. Geoloc :
twitter.com/moklasen/status/208731…
This is 4km inside deepstate red zone, but I believe the village is in the grey zone. Last time we saw Russian soldiers in these villages was back in March ! North of this village, Piddubne is probably partly under Ukrainian control, all other villages north are under UA control and Voskresenka, south of it, is disputed.
I believe Ukraine is trying to neutralise both Komar and Uspenivka. These small towns are the only urban areas in all this region, which means they are used to accumulate forces.

For the past six months, the Ukrainian 🇺🇦 army has been on the offensive along a 50-kilometer-wide front, gradually retaking villages lost the previous year.
With no official statements and very few videos available, little is known about this "offensive." I have therefore gathered as much information as possible to discuss it.
In 2025, the Russian army doubled its rate of advance compared to 2024. Yet, it was not in the Donbas that they were advancing the most. Very early in the year, they seized Velyka Novosilka and pushed north toward Komar and west toward Huliaipole. By the year's end, the situation for Ukraine was critical: defensive lines facing south had been overrun from the east, and the Russian army was steadily closing in on Zaporizhzhia, a city of 800,000 inhabitants.
After the capture of Huliaipole, everyone expected Pokrovsk'e, Ternuvate (already infiltrated at the time), and then Orikhiv to fall, placing the Russian army at the gates of Zaporizhzhia by the end of the year. Yet, seven months later, the situation remained unchanged; the Russians are still stalled west of Huliaipole. Worse, they have lost significant territory further north, bringing a halt to this offensive, which, while secondary to the main Donbas campaign, had nonetheless committed a massive force, including five armies and an army corps.
🔸So, what happened?
It began in February, when several air-assault brigades repositioned to the region, launched an armored assault under cover of fog, deploying their infantry into contested villages, often behind the initial Russian infiltrators. The villages were methodically cleared, and Ukrainian soldiers began infiltrating southward themselves. In March, they were positioned east and west of Uspenivka, blocking Russian attempts to advance toward Pokrovske and Ternuvate.
In response to this offensive, the Russian army sends several naval infantry brigades and divisions, as well as the 68th Army Corps, as reinforcements.
Starting in April, air assault brigades repositioned further north with the mission of advancing on Komar. The goal of this redeployment was to prevent the 90th Tank Division from shifting its assets toward Dobropilla. There was no mechanized offensive this time, as the terrain, specifically the presence of several rivers, most notably the Vovtcha, precluded it. Instead, small Ukrainian infantry groups managed to gradually infiltrate as far as the next river, the Mokri Yali. It is important to understand that, despite having been in the area for at least eight months, Russian forces had been unable to consolidate their positions; a network of rivers complicated logistics, and the small size of the villages made it impossible to concentrate large numbers of troops.
Consequently, the Ukrainians were able to advance relatively stealthily behind enemy lines, reaching the Mokri Yali River. A strict information blackout was imposed in the [...]

area. Apart from a single video (since deleted) showing Ukrainian troops raising a flag over a liberated village, the Ukrainians released nothing regarding an operation that had already been underway for three months. For their part, the Russians continued to obscure the situation: the Vostok Group released only videos that were difficult to geolocate and persisted in sending "suicide" flag-bearers troops, who would reach Iskra and raise the Russian flag, creating an illusion of control.
On the map, I have roughly depicted the situation as it has stood over the last few weeks, relying primarily on a handful of geolocated videos, satellite imagery showing air and artillery strikes, and scattered social media statements. Simply put, little is known about the actual state of the front, other than the fact that Ukrainian forces are at the gates of Komar, a move that has forced the 90th Tank Division to keep half its strength committed to that sector.
What I am certain of is that all Russian troops positioned north of the Vovcha River (in Ivanivka) or the Solena (in Novopavlivka) have either been killed or captured, judging by the number of Russian air strikes, at least a hundred, carried out in the area. Consequently, the section of the "New Donbass Line" in this sector has held for the tenth consecutive month. It is certain that the Ukrainians have retaken control of the few villages to the south, given the air strikes observed in the zone. For the time being, I will respect Ukrainian OPSEC protocols and refrain from providing further details regarding an ongoing operation, as long as more confirmation are not coming.
🔸You might be wondering how such an operation is structured.
The Ukrainians are making extensive use of drones to establish a wide exclusion zone in the sector, extending particularly along the river as far as Velyka Novosilka. The operation is proceeding cautiously, with small infantry teams advancing gradually, supported by artillery positioned in the woods to the west and occasional Ukrainian air strikes on Russian drone operator positions in Komar.
Overall, it is important to understand that this operation is taking place because the Russian army is unable to bring reinforcements to the front. Furthermore, anti-tank ditches prevent any Russian mechanized or motorized assault aimed at delivering reinforcements. To understand the disarray within the local command, one need only look at its use of air power. Air strikes are being carried out daily deep behind the lines, as far as Prossiana and Chaplyne, 35 to 40 km from the front. While the goal is to hinder the Ukrainian presence, these strikes primarily highlight the ineffectiveness of Russian drones in the sector, particularly the Molniya models.
To conclude, this operation not only gained time for Ukraine to further fortify the Pavlohrad direction, it is a direct push in the foot of Russian forces, which can continue further this summer and later in the autumn. I'll continue to monitor this and wait for more official informations regarding the situation here.

We don't have the same methodology with AMK, so I disagree with part of the blue here, but his map is rather good in this direction.

More grey can be added to deepstate, about 140 km2 in total. Many grey parts are also blue. Deepstate are not only late in Kostiantynivka, they are late for Ukrainian advances.

In recent weeks, both Russia 🇷🇺 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 launched strikes on gas stations to complicate road logistics
I managed to map 200 Ukrainian gas stations damaged or destroyed and 50 Russian gas station damaged or destroyed.
Russia has a clear advantage in this strike campaign, but one of the reasons is that they lack means to hit mobile fuel trucks, while Ukraine is hitting much more fuel trucks and less gas stations (also, we have less proofs of RU gas stations hit).
