Ukraine Control Map

Daily Ukraine map thread for Tuesday 10th November 2026

A map focus on the Kostyantynivka to Siversk area today, where a series of small Ukrainian counterattacks have halted Russian advances for the time being. The geolocations paint a picture of a heavily contested Kostyantynivka, a rather different reality from Russian claims of having captured the city many months ago.

Elsewhere, the situation remains remarkably controlled. Ukraine is operating at a steady tempo, and even the temporary loss of Starlink last month did little to disrupt defensive operations. SBS is on for another 700 personnel hits today, a figure that just months ago would not have been possible. Russia should ask themselves where Ukraine found all these new talented drone operators.

Geolocations follow:

Daily Ukraine map thread for Monday 9th November 2026

A small map focus on the Kherson direction today, following yesterday's Marine video which caused consternation. The crossings being referred to were in the same area that has remained under Ukrainian control for years, around Dachi, opposite Antonivka. Nothing particularly new on that front, despite the presentation.

Elsewhere, a claimed Rubicon base near Berdiansk was struck by SBU Alpha and other units.

The Kirishi refinery in Leningrad Oblast was also hit overnight.

And another bumper day for the Unmanned Systems on the tally board. The numbers continue to climb, much to the considerable discomfort of the Russian manpower department.

Another SBS record yesterday at 801 personnel strikes, plus 2179 from the rest of the armed forces.

At 0620 UTC we're already at 147 personnel strikes. The tally rises, the numbers march on, and the Russian manpower pool continues to be thoroughly breakfasted. All this, before I've even had my Weet-bix.

Weekend Ukraine map post for Sunday 8th November 2026

After a week away, we're back. Normal service will now resume.

We've seen the substantial data leak from Russia's Rosstat. There is some particularly useful material within it, including records that independently corroborate previously reported events for which we had no supporting data, among them helicopter losses and ship sinkings. In broad terms, the data doesn't fundamentally change our existing estimates, but it does offer a fascinating insight into the scale of the reporting backlog. The lag is considerable, and the system appears to be struggling to keep pace. We can expect hundreds of thousands more records to be added over the coming year, and that's just accounting for events from this year.

In the meantime, although map updates continued during our absence, there was a slight delay while travelling. You may have noticed a number of changes across the map:

Orikhiv direction - We've returned much of the grey zone to blue following the failure of recent Russian attacks, as anticipated.

West Donetsk, towards Velyka Novosilka - Minor adjustments as Ukrainian forces clear remaining Russian positions.

Kupiansk direction - It's now a year since Gerasimov's claims about capturing Kupiansk helped lead thousands of Russian troops into a rather unfortunate situation upon which they were hoisted upon their own petard. As the map shows, the Russian position here has continued to deteriorate.

Kostyantynivka: We've withdrawn some contested and red areas as Ukrainian forces clear further positions and Russian troops prove unable to consolidate their gains. This is against a backdrop of an already substantial grey zone in the area.

Elsewhere, Ukrainian strikes have continued against significant targets, including the Saratov oil refinery and another attack on the Proton plant in Oryol.

Hundreds of geolocations came in over the week, which can be viewed on the map and log (as it remains Open Source). Many thanks to the geolocators for continuing to work tirelessly.

These are only deaths registered by Russian civil registries. The wounded, the missing and foreign mercenaries are not here

It puts the actual death toll considerably higher than the 550k estimates what we had previously worked with.
