  1. The average European garden snail would have moved further than that in four years. A literal snail.

  2. Hmm. Interesting, Though, it looks like it’s only Donetsk Oblast, not full Donbas.

    Edit: Looking at the map, I also see some questionable painting for Donetsk oblast itself.

    South-West of Pokrovsk (Kransoarmeisk) Russia has already made significant advances into Dnepropetrovsk. so I have 0 idea why there is still some unpainted area there.

    The pocket between Pokrovsk and Rodynske has been cleared and closed by Russia.

    Russia has also reached the outskirts of Konstantinivka, with fighting for a foothold in the town having taken place for over a month now. They are mainly approaching from the East/ Chasov Yar, Severodonetsk Kanal direction. However, they are very close from the Southern axis as well. The frontline has moved away from Toretsk (Djerzhinsk) for 8-9 months now.

    P.S checked the description again. Yeah, the painting is done based on Ukrainian Intelligence Service outlet DeepState, also nicknamed as DeepCope or DeepGreyArea for how far from reality their information about Ukrainian losses area. So, I would suggest taking this with a huge grain of salt.

    Note: Only Donetsk oblast is shown, Luhansk oblast (almost fully occupied in 2022) is missing. My bad for the title

    It’s a little outdated, pokrovsk, myrnohrad, and rodinske have been captured for about a week now

    14 trillion dollars of natural resources….

    But Russia got people convinced its protecting the Russian speaking population …
    Checks again,,, Russian speaking population suffered the most. Not the Ukrainians in the far west…

    Prihozhin as big of a piece of shit he was exposed the true reasons for the invasion before his disappearance

  6. Yeah, this shows more or less what the situation was 2 weeks ago. Why doesn’t the map show Russian gains in Kostyantinivka? In the direction of Hulyaipole? Rodynske was also recently captured and Pokrovsk fell 2 weeks ago followed by Myrnohrad, which was still being cleared from Ukrainian remnants. There’s really no point in understating Russian gains (or exaggerating them, for that matter) regardless of which side you’re on (ideally none). Russian forces were geolocated in the aforementioned settlements, so there is factual proof of their capture, even though Ukrainians love to control phantom towns for media victories. Check out SuriyakMaps on Twitter/Telegram, he is by far the most accurate war mapper.

    A fuckton of people fail to grasp the concept of non-linearity in warfare. 2025 only shows that the pace from 2022-2023 is not given and that the slow grind can ramp up quick in attritional warfare. Keep in mind that this map only focuses on Donetsk oblast, which was most heavily fortified.Â
