The distances
Every distance is a great-circle distance, the shortest path along the Earth's surface, using a mean Earth radius of 6,371 km. Results are rounded to 10 km. Roads and flight paths would be longer.
The map is an azimuthal equidistant projection centred on you, so every distance from the centre is true. Distances between two other points on the map aren't.
Ukraine's border
We use Ukraine's internationally recognised borders, including Crimea. Country shapes come from Datamaps. They're simplified, so the border distance can be off by a few kilometres.
The front line
We draw the front line by hand from public reporting, so treat it as accurate to about 30 km. It changes, and we update it by hand. For the detailed picture, see these sources:
- Institute for the Study of War (ISW), daily assessments.
- Kyiv Post, which republishes ISW's key findings.
- DeepStateMap, a detailed Ukrainian map of the front.
- Wikipedia on the 2026 Ukrainian counteroffensive.
