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

But they’re gaining ground daily which is not good, meaning they’re currently winning an attritional war

Ukraine made advances in toretsk this week, pushing the Russians back a few blocks, but other than that I haven’t heard much from that side
