On 24 February 2022 the world awoke to the news that Russian tanks had rolled into Ukraine from the east and north. More than a year later, thousands have been reported killed on both sides and millions of refugees from Ukraine have been recorded across Europe.
This page is updated regularly with the latest maps, charts, video and satellite imagery showing the military, environmental and humanitarian aspects of the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The latest on Ukraine’s counter-offensive
The Ukrainian army claimed on 11 June that it had liberated three villages – Blahodtne, Neskuchne and Makarivka – in the south of the Donetsk region, breaching at least one layer of Russian fortifications.

An overnight Russian missile attack on an apartment building in Kryvyi Rih, the home town of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, killed at least six people, as Ukraine’s military ramped up its forces to recapture ground captured in the southeastern regions. The counter-attack claimed an early advantage.
Other maps and charts from the war
June 2023: Destruction of the Kakhovka Dam
After the collapse of the Kakhovka Dam in southern Ukraine on June 6, floodwaters ravaged towns and villages, with dozens killed in the disaster amid evacuation efforts in Russian-controlled areas. The flood also limited Ukraine’s attack options in its counter-offensive, which began in early June.
May 2023: Russian Fortifications
Ukraine’s months-long preparations for a summer counteroffensive to try to retake its occupied territory allowed Russia to consolidate its position along the nearly 1,000 km front line.
Satellite images reviewed by the Financial Times and analyzed by military experts show anti-tank ditches, a maze of trenches, concrete “dragon’s teeth” barricades, steel “hedgehog” barriers, razor wire and a multi-layered tangle of spools of minefields Russian network exposed.
May 2023: Battle for Bakhmut
On 21 May, Vladimir Putin hailed his first major victory since the early days of his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, claiming that Russian forces had captured the eastern city of Bakhmut, despite Kiev’s insistence that giving that the fight was “not over”.
The Russian president said the paramilitary group Wagner had seized the Ukrainian city with the help of Russian armed forces after months of bloody fighting that left more than 100,000 dead and left the city in ruins.
Earlier in the year, satellite images from the Vuhledar area south of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region revealed the extent of the damage in areas that had come under heavy artillery shelling.
September-November 2022: Ukraine recaptures Kherson
The September counteroffensive saw Ukraine liberate 3,000 square km of territory in just six days – its biggest victory since Russian troops were pushed back from Kiev in March.
Ukrainian forces continued to advance east, capturing the transport hub of Lyman, near the north-eastern edge of Donetsk province, which it wrested from Russian control on 1 October.
The hard-fought victory came after nearly three weeks of fighting and set the stage for a Ukrainian advance towards Svatov, a logistics hub for Russia, after its troops lost the Kharkiv area to Ukrainian counter-attacks.
Ukrainian troops advanced into Kherson on 11 November after Russia said its forces had completed their withdrawal from the southern city, one of the biggest setbacks to Putin’s offensive.
The advance to Kiev under Ukrainian artillery fire and the chaotic retreat to Moscow meant that the Russians surrendered the only provincial capital captured in the war, as well as abandoned strategic positions.
March 2022: Russia fails to capture Kiev
The Russians were thwarted in Kiev by a combination of factors including geography, the attackers’ forgetfulness and Ukraine’s ingenuity with modern weapons as well as smartphones and pieces of foam mats.

The number of Ukrainians fleeing the conflict has made it one of the largest refugee crises in modern history.
