An overview map of the situation across Ukraine as of 09 April 2025
The situation in Toretsk is more clarified since the last post on the city. Though widely contested, Russian forces retained a presence in areas throughout the city. These have since come back into their control, and some forces have now moved northwest of the city.
Russia crossed the Oskil again, this time at Kamianka. They now control or contest seven settlements on the west side of the Oskil.
In Belgorod, Russian counterattacks have pushed Popovka and Demidovka back to contested settlements.
Southwest of Pokrovsk, Russia has attacked towards, and come within 3km of, the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast boundary.
Russia has taken positions along both sides of the Sumy / Kursk border, capturing the settlements of Veselivka and Basivka and reaching Loknia.
In Zaporizhzhia, Russia has taken the settlement of Lobkove after the recent capture of Stepove and Mali Shcherbaky. A Ukrainian counterattack into Shcherbaky has prevented its capture so far.
Ukraine updates for the past fortnight:
Russian forces advancing west of Nevske and Terny have reached and taken Katerynivka as well as positions along the Ukrainian fortification line in the area.
These 4 charts show how control has changed in the 4 most active oblasts.
Other occupied oblasts have had minimal or no changes to control.
