Built automatically from headlines that say Russia hit a Ukrainian city, port or the energy grid with drones, missiles or glide bombs, and from claims that a town or village was captured or retaken — one row per day and type. Capture claims are the claiming side’s and are not verified; drone and missile counts are the Ukrainian Air Force’s figures. Plans, threats, tallies and analysis are left out. Faded rows come from a single outlet that is not A/B graded.

Questions people ask

How dangerous is Ukraine war right now?

Ukraine war is rated Critical on WARNPOINT’s open-source instability index, at 100/100. The score measures located violence and crisis reporting inside the country — not how often it is in the news.

Is it safe to travel to Ukraine war?

Government travel advice: U.S. State Department — Level 4 (Do not travel); UK FCDO — Level 3 (Reconsider travel); Global Affairs Canada — Level 4 (Do not travel); German Foreign Office — Level 4 (Do not travel).

When did the war in Ukraine start?

Fighting began in 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea (March) and Russian-backed separatists took up arms in the Donbas (April). Russia’s full-scale invasion began on 24 February 2022.

Which parts of Ukraine has Russia annexed?

Russia annexed Crimea in March 2014. On 30 September 2022 it announced the annexation of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, parts of which its forces had seized. Ukraine and most UN members reject both; UN General Assembly resolutions 68/262 (2014) and ES-11/4 (2022) declared them invalid. The front line moves — see the live map for the latest reports.

What weapons does Russia use to attack Ukrainian cities?

Mostly Shahed-type attack drones (built in Russia as the Geran), Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles, and Iskander-M and Kinzhal ballistic missiles; glide bombs are used against towns near the front. Ukraine’s Air Force publishes how many it says it launched and shot down each morning.

Has Ukraine attacked Russia?

Yes. Ukraine has struck refineries, airfields and other military targets inside Russia with long-range drones and missiles, and on 6 August 2024 its forces crossed into Russia’s Kursk region. WARNPOINT logs those strikes on the Russia tracker.

Where does this information come from?

From 310+ news outlets WARNPOINT reads around the clock — including Kyiv Independent, Ukrainska Pravda, Ukrinform, Kyiv Post and international wires — each graded for reliability. Russian state media (TASS) is graded S and labelled. Casualty, interception and territorial figures are each side’s own and are attributed. Nothing on this page is AI-written.
