During wartime, it is challenging to receive accurate information and current news. One of the most reliable and popular sources for Ukrainians has become Deep State – an interactive map of military actions. The Deep State map shows every minute movement of the front line. Based on this information, Ukrainian residents follow events unfolding in occupied territories and movements along the contact lines with the Russian army.
Deep State Online – Map of Military Actions in Ukraine
How the Deep State Map Came About
The Deep State Telegram channel began operating in February 2020. The channel posted news about the political life of the country and the world. It featured little-known news and facts about international events. With the start of the Russian military buildup at Ukraine’s borders, Deep State focused more on maps marking the locations of enemy troop concentrations. The channel later added stories about the reactions of international organizations and European countries to events in Ukraine.
With the onset of large-scale actions by the Russian army, company started posting maps on a newly created Google platform. However, by mid-March, this platform was blocked due to complaints. After quickly restoring the project on Google, it was blocked again. The founders decided to create their own site, deepstatemap.live, which launched on March 27, 2022.
From its inception, the site had around 10,000 users. Now, maps are used by more than 15 million people.
What Makes the Deep State Map of Military Actions Special
Understanding the situation on the contact line is only possible with complete and accurate information. The online map of military actions in Ukraine allows you to see the situation as it unfolds and conduct a thorough analysis. The war map shows:
- The positions and movements of both the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the enemy, indicating the tactical capabilities of both sides of the conflict.
- Visualization of the combat zones.
- The direction of attacks and possible deployments of enemy units, providing insight into enemy strategies.
- Real-time changes to track the development of events dynamically.
Deep State maps play a crucial role in analyzing and understanding the conflict. They provide journalists, analysts, and even representatives of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine with verified and current information.
How to Use the Deep State Map
With the map, you can follow the development of military actions and track the dynamics of movements. The war map becomes an essential tool for military analysts. It is used by journalists, military reviewers, and anyone trying to understand the military and political situation.
Legend on the Deep State War Map:

Using the Deep State Map, you can obtain information about the situation in various regions. By clicking on any object depicted on the war map, users get additional information about that object.
The map marks headquarters, unit locations, airfields, and enemy fleets. You can navigate the map not only with the mouse but also with the arrow keys to move left, right, up, and down. To zoom in or out, press “+” or “-“. Using these functions, you can set the map to show unit locations from a few days ago to quickly see changes.
Note: Do not use the Deep State map to plan movements from occupied territories. For this, use the “green corridors” provided by the authorities.
