Russian forces are advancing in the Donetsk oblast, according to reports, as maps showed the latest state of play on the front line in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region.

Pro-Ukrainian Telegram channel Politika Strana said on Wednesday that Moscow's troops had made "significant progress" in the Vuhledar, Pokrovsk-Kurakhove and Toretsk directions.

"To the east, near Kamyanske, Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups have become more active," the post said, adding that the to the west Russians had advanced north of Vuhledar, which was captured earlier this month.

The X account Ukraine Control Map, which tracks the war's latest developments, posted on Tuesday a graphic that showed some of Russia's advances.

It said that Russian forces raised the flag just east of Siversk, "indicating large advances that are odd if taken at face value," it said next to the map, adding that, Moscow's troops "raised their flag in Zhelanne Pershe, near Hirnyk" and that there were advances in the Toretsk direction.
