FAQ
What is Frontlineradar?
Frontlineradar is a free daily radar of the Russia–Ukraine war. It collects headlines from Ukrainian and international outlets, links the latest Institute for the Study of War (ISW) assessment, and charts Russian drone and missile attacks reported by Ukraine's Air Force. It is rebuilt every six hours.
Does Frontlineradar show real-time troop positions?
No. The site never shows live unit locations or troop movements. It only aggregates official statistics and links to published reporting, which is delayed by hours or days.
Where does the drone and missile data come from?
Daily launches and interceptions come from the open dataset 'Massive Missile Attacks on Ukraine' by Petro Ivaniuk, compiled from Ukrainian Air Force reports and licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Frontlineradar only publishes daily and weekly totals.
Who controls which areas of Ukraine?
For current front-line maps, see DeepStateMap and the ISW interactive map, which are linked on the Front-line map page. Frontlineradar will add area statistics per oblast once a data source with reuse permission is in place.
How is the daily brief written?
The daily brief is an automated digest. It groups the latest headlines by keyword into topics such as strikes, front line, energy and diplomacy, and adds the weekly strike numbers. It is not edited by a human and links to the original articles.
How often is the site updated?
Every six hours. Each page shows the time of the latest snapshot in UTC.
