This is a good real-time map of the ongoing war in Ukraine.

For those who don't see what Russia is doing...
Russia is trying to cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea. If they can reach their occupied area of Moldova, they'll have totally cut off Ukraine from all sea ports. But Russia and Belarus in the north, the only friendly border remaining for Ukraine will be Poland. Continued encirclement would be disastrous.
Next up after Mariupol will be Odessa. Ukraine's only hope is that Russia's forces will be stretched thin along a long supply line along the Black Sea, making them vulnerable to attacks on their flank, but another attack from the northern border remains a very real threat.
Russia may call for a cease-fire if they capture Odessa and reach the Moldova border, but that's a peace that cannot be acceptable to Ukraine or the rest of the world.
