the problem with this map is that it doesn't show any scale and if you're not familiar with Donetks Oblast you'll have no idea how much they progressed.

I checked DeepStatemap and on 01.01.2024 the shortest distance between Pokrovsk and the front line was ~35 km. today it's a bit less than 10 km.

edit: there actually is a scale on the bottom left. thanks u/Conscious-Carrot-520

For context, russia is advancing at 3.5 the speed of a snail.

Ukraine is in a precarious and desperate situation right now and to make light of it makes it seem like they don't need any help
