There is a big community of open source intelligence folks on Twitter. They accurately and verifiably geo locate all the photos and videos from any given day.

From that info you can get an idea of where the fighting is currently taking place, where Ukraine positions are and where Russians positions are. So you can see who is advancing, where, and by how much.

That’s the most accurate way I’ve found to be in the know about who’s currently doing better and who is currently doing worse.
