Footage showing the impact of Russian Kn-23 ballistic missiles equipped with cluster warheads in the city of Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast.
Scenes from Kyiv last night, during the Russian missile attack on the city.
Approximately 6 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 2 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles were used in total, striking a warehouse facility in the eastern suburbs. Large fires broke out after the attack.
Combined Russian missile attack on Ukraine.
Russia launched approximately 16 missiles of various types towards the cities of Kyiv and Kremenchuk.
Kyiv was struck by 6 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 2 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, launched from near Klintsy and Bryansk City in Bryansk Oblast.
Kremenchuk was struck by 4 Kn-23 ballistic missiles and 4 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, launched from near Liski (Voronezh Oblast) and Zheleznogorsk (Kursk Oblast).
All missiles impacted their targets. There were no interceptions.
In Kyiv, warehouse facilities in the eastern suburbs were targeted. In Kremenchuk, the oil refinery was likely the target.
Only just saw this, but I will respond anyway.
I don’t like how you are lying about me @M0nstas. I am openly pro-Ukraine and have repeatedly condemned Russia’s invasion. I am also constantly attacked by pro-Russians who claim I spread Ukrainian propaganda, and I repeatedly debunk Russian propaganda. Labeling me as pro-Russian in this post is nothing more than a childish attempt by you at discrediting my work.
It also takes 2 seconds to realise that my map does not fit in with the “presence” line you drew. The zone of Russian control on my map in the Vovchansk sector is much closer to your “contest line”, but further outwards than Deepstate’s control zone. You are grouping me in with mappers that show a completely different frontline to me.
If you want to criticise my maps, then that’s completely fine. But resorting to lying and misrepresenting me just to discredit my work is extremely low from you.
A simple territorial framework I use to explain the differences between war maps.
I divide maps into three categories - RIA, Suriyak, and DS - representing four different levels of Russian advance.
RIA - Reach
How far Russian forces claim to have advanced, regardless of whether they have established a presence or control.
RIA and Rybar fall into this category, while the Russian MoD usually places its claims slightly further ahead.
Suriyak - Presence
Where Russian forces have established some presence, but not necessarily control. This is the most sensitive category, reacting quickly to changes on the ground. Easy come, easy go.
Suriyak, AMK, Radov, Creamy, and others pro-Ru belong here.
DS - Contest and Control
DS grey represents contested territory where Ukrainian forces maintain a presence and continue operating.
DS red represents actual Russian control and closely matches the GSUA maps.
OWL, Blackbird, Andrew, Playfra, Poulet, and others pro-Ua generally fall into this category, regardless of how they describe their own mapping methods.
2024–2025 were the golden era of the Russian offensive train. The advance was steady enough that you could simply copy RIA's territorial gains with a week's delay and appear reliable.
But 2026 changed that. RIA moved too far ahead of actual Russian control, while Ukrainian counteractions made delayed copying increasingly unreliable. What once required little more than waiting a week now demands constant corrections, revisions, and sometimes outright reversals.
A good post summarizing the known casualties taken by both sides.
In my opinion, Russia and Ukraine have likely each suffered around 500,000-600,000 dead. Mediazona’s figures certainly seems to indicate this for Russia, and I’d imagine Ualosses has similar large delays for counting Ukrainian casualties, especially considering Ukraine struggles more with evacuating their killed, as Russia generally advances more and has overwhelming firepower + manpower on the front.
As for wounded, the heavy use of drones has likely made it so the 1:2 kia:wia ratio is no longer accurate. It’s likely closer to 1:1.5. This is because drones make evacuation wounded much more difficult, and they are very precise and deadly weapons being added to the battlefield that mostly kill upon direct impact.
La guerre en Ukraine 🇺🇦 a désormais fait près d'un million de morts chez les militaires 🇺🇦/🇷🇺
A l'heure actuelle, seuls des décomptes partiels des pertes militaires existent, avec Mediazona côté russe et Ualosses côté ukrainien. Les deux camps font le maximum pour tenter de masquer les pertes réelles et n'ont eux même probablement pas la connaissance exacte de leurs pertes.
Ce qui est vérifié :
🇺🇦 106 000 morts, 105 000 disparus (la majorité est probablement morte) et 12 000 prisonniers de guerre. Au total, environ 224 000 pertes.
🇷🇺 282 000 morts et minimum 70 000 de plus jusqu'à fin 2025, environ 352 000 pertes (les pertes de 2026 ne sont presque pas comptabilisées)
Néanmoins, ces décomptes sont partiels. Par exemple, une bonne partie des pertes russes de 2025 et 2026 ne sont toujours pas comptés, compte tenu de la censure russe)
@M0nstas a remarqué que les chiffres officiels publiés par les ukrainiens se rapprochent sensiblement des chiffres des pertes russes quand on applique un ratio tués/blessés qui évolue. Il conclu qu'une bonne part des pertes de 2025 et 2026 ne sont pas comptabilisées.
Ainsi, les pertes russes sont probablement plus proches de 500 à 600 000 morts.
Côté ukrainien aussi, les chiffres sont sous-estimés. Ua losses explique qu'il est assez difficile d'avoir des données précises pour les grandes villes, la Transcarpathie, le sud et l'est occupé. Notons qu'il est plus facile d'avoir des données côté ukrainien avec une censure moins importante et un registre officiel des disparus.
J'estime les pertes ukrainiennes entre 300 et 400 000 morts, mais les estimations sont beaucoup plus difficiles.
➡️ Parler des pertes ukrainiennes et russes serait oublier des dizaines de milliers de morts. Je parle ici des volontaires/mercenaires étrangers, des ukrainiens des territoires occupés tués dans la guerre (DPR et LPR puis les autres régions, enrolés dans l'armée russe) et des 2 000 nord-coréens tués à Koursk.
➡️ Il ne faudrait pas oublier par ailleurs qu'au moins le double des morts ont été blessés, dont des dizaines de milliers d'amputés dans les deux camps. Cela explique par exemple les chiffres officiels ukrainiens d'1.5 million de pertes militaires.
Le bilan est donc beaucoup plus lourd que le million de morts. Il faut aussi penser aux PTSD, aux déserteurs et aux soldats démobilisés pour suivre ces tendances...
Cette guerre est un bain de sang et chaque année semble plus mortelle que la précédente...

The IRGC claims to have shot down another U.S. MQ-1 drone, over the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz, opposite Sirik.
They claim that this is the 14th MQ-1C drone to be shot down since the beginning of the war.
The IRGC attacked a vessel off the coast of Khasab, Oman, in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in a fire breaking out onboard.
The Russian Ministry of Defence claims that 1,214 Ukrainian drones were shot down in a single night.
This morning, Ukrainian long-range drones attacked the "Bashkir Soda Company" in the city of Sterlitamak, Republic of Bashkortostan, resulting in a large fire breaking out that continues to grow.
The "Bashkir Soda Company" specialises in the production of sodium carbonate and food-grade soda, which is used by enterprises affiliated with the Russian Ministry of Defence to produce components used for military equipment, including body armour, helmets, and armoured protection elements for military equipment and aviation.
NASA FIRMS data indicates that a large fire is burning at Marinovka Airbase in Volgograd Oblast following overnight Ukrainian mid-range drone strikes.
Marinovka Airbase is home to Su-24 and Su-34 aircraft. It has been hit by Ukrainian drones in the past, damaging and destroying four Su-34s.
Russia continued their Geran-2/4 drone attacks against Kharkiv Oblast last night.
Targets were hit in Industrialnyi, Saltivskyi, Kholodnohirs'kyi, and Nemyshlianskyi Districts of Kharkiv City; the cities of Merefa and Zmiiv; and the town of Slobozhanske.
A large fire was seen burning in Kharkiv City following a strike on the Kholodnohirs'kyi District.

Ukraine continued their large-scale mid-range drone strike campaign against Luhansk Oblast last night.
Two different unknown targets were struck in Luhansk city centre, near Hospital No. 7 and a parking lot near the central market, as well as in the southern suburbs of Luhansk City. Power outages occurred across almost all of southern Luhansk.
The Russian Ministry of Defence claims to have struck a barge in the western Black Sea, which was allegedly transporting military cargo and dual-use goods to Odesa Port.
Oleshky Ceasefire.
It's now been over 48 hours since the implementation of the ceasefire across Kherson Oblast, and no major violations have been recorded.
It has become apparent that one of the terms of the ceasefire is that Ukrainian and Russian drones are not allowed to cross the Dnieper River to the opposite banks, meaning that any reconnaissance of logistics from either side must be conducted from a significant distance.
Russia and Ukraine are both taking advantage of this to reinforce their positions in the region. Russian forces are bringing forward new reinforcements in trucks, and increasing their presence along the eastern bank of the Dnieper River. According to unconfirmed reports, Russian forces are also constructing anti-drone netting over the industrial zone of Nova Kakhovka. Ukrainian forces are conducting rotations throughout the western bank of the river, evacuating the remaining injured and killed personnel, and bringing forward new supplies to frontline positions. Heavy demining operations continue on both banks of the river. One Ukrainian marine has already been killed by the detonation of unexploded ordinance.
On the islands in the river, there is practically no movements of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers, as it's less clear where the ceasefire line is there. Ukrainian and Russian forces both continue to hold positions on the islands, including sometimes fairly close to one another. It's likely that neither side wants to be detected there so as not to give each other a reason to break the truce.
Russian channels claim that at least two Ukrainian FPV drones were shot down over the R-57 Highway southwest of Oleshky. It's unclear if these alleged drones were for reconnaissance or strike purposes. It's also claimed that several Ukrainian FPV drones attempted to approach the Tendrovska Spit, but were shot down. Ukrainian artillery shelling reportedly targeted Russian positions on the Kinburn Spit, however, because this is technically part of Mykolaiv Oblast, it's likely that the ceasefire does not extend to there.
Throughout the last day, Ukrainian channels sporadically reported drone detections over the suburbs of Kherson closest to the river, as well as over the river itself, opposite the port. It's unknown if these were Ukrainian drones or Russian drones. Likely a mix a both.
There is a general consensus in the information space that, because both sides are taking advantage of this ceasefire to bring forward heavy reinforcements and increase their presence on both sides of the river, the intensity of fighting will significantly increase after the end of the truce, as both sides will have a much higher strike capacity for some time.
The attached video shows the streets of western Kherson this evening, filled with more civilians than ever since 2022.
The city of Konotop, Sumy Oblast, has now been entirely without power for over 5 days due to repeated Russian attacks on energy infrastructure in the region.
Residents are being forced to travel to neighbouring cities to charge their devices and power banks. In Konotop, everything has to run off generators, however the fuel for them is becoming scarce.
Emergency work is underway to restore electricity, and the Ukrainian government is expected to provide the city with diesel fuel for generators today.
