A unique map of Ukrainian Strategic and Tactical Groupings of Ukrainian Forces is available on our site.
In cooperation with our contributor and Discord user Cossack, we are releasing a new interactive map. The map visualizes currently active Ukrainian Strategic and Tactical Groups.
Strategic or tactical group is a military formation of Ukrainian Army, which unites Ukrainian units deployed to a certain area under a common command. Strategic Grouping of Ukrainian Troops Khortezya, for example, is in charge of units located between Kurdyumivka and Kupyansk, and is led by Col. Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi.
Composition of each grouping is variable and depends on which units are currently deployed to the specific area. The map is based on publicly available resources.
Stop panicking. If the Russians don’t have data way more detailed and up to date than what Ukraine publicly posts, I’ll eat a hat of your choice.
If they don’t, it’s still data publicly posted.
Personally, I wouldn’t do it.
I feel it is risky for the AFU to pass over this information to the russians.
Jerome, please, think about.
Visualizing publicly available data, there is nothing wrong with this.
This idea is questionable to me too – if its a nice overview for pro-ukraine readers, its even nicer for pro-russia readers.
Interesting map and gives a good picture of the situation. But you forget that the Russians see these maps too. Providing detailed data can be very dangerous for Ukraine. Be careful what you post.
Exactly. I would be willing to see less, of this stuff, if it helps the Ukrainian war effort.
Soviet (Russian) intelligence is watching these too, for free of charge data and conclusions. It helps them too.
Being careful is good, but these maps are based on publicly available info, and they don’t even receive real-time updates. I doubt that they’ll tell the Russians anything they don’t know already.

Do not underestimate Russian ignorance ! 🙂
JK, I think the information given here is fine. It is dismissed as “western propaganda” anyway.
Military normaly have way more detailed maps. It’s assumed to be fine since it’s based on public info which also often is delayed and should already be known. But considering how bad the intel sometimes is, it would not be surprised if some military had to resort to using maps found on the Internet.
why? russia already knows all that info and waaaaaay more than what can be posted on here.
they have more detailed and more accurate maps than these themselves.
also have you thought about that if a militaryblogger can get this infomation, then so can russia?
Do not overestimate Russian intelligence too ! 🙂
There is plenty of open-source information they do not process. Maybe because an accurate depiction of this war doesn’t look good for Russia.
Let them have fun with their shiny-as-new T-55.
All the data are publicly available, mostly through official channels. We just visualize them on the map, nothing else.
Great work.
Ad 1. It wouldn’t – it’s not a game.
Wikipedia has information that the Sumy group includes 116 TerDef Brigade (Poltava)
Great Idea. Thank you for all your work. Why not make this a normal feature of the Deployment Map? One map instead of two.
It’ll be part of the Deployment map eventually, but not turned on by default. Sector map has it turned on.
