This is what the current military situation looks according to the Ukrainians.



The design of the Wikipedia map has changed to the better, showing now extent of the urban areas. I tried before to come up with a rough guess of the populations in occupied and liberated areas but this gives a pretty good overview of it at a glance. It may be sometimes a bit misleading, for example Horlivka is of course less densly populated then Donesk, but overall a great way to present the situation.




It also shows that dense urban areas are the cornerstones of the Pro(Russians) defence. The fighting seems to especially fierce in the are of the three cities Shaktarsk, Torez, Shizne along the H21 where Ukrainian forces threaten to cut the (Pro)Russian area in two. Much of the debris of MH17 is found not far north-east of them.
