After 1,010 days of fighting, Russian troops have captured less than one percent of Ukraine's territory, according to DeepState, a monitoring project that tracks changes in the front line.
According to analysts, since November 12, 2022, when the occupied area was 108,651 square kilometers, it has increased to 114,493 square kilometers. This represents a territorial increase of 5,842 square kilometers, equivalent to 0.96% of Ukraine's total area within its internationally recognized borders.
The project noted that the Russian army achieved its greatest successes in the first months of the full-scale conflict, but thanks to counteroffensive operations in the north of the country, as well as in the Kharkiv and Kherson regions, Kyiv managed to recapture significant territories.
Since November 2022, the Russian army has continued its offensive with minor interruptions. The most intense fighting was recorded in the Bakhmut area, analysts reported.
"We hope these figures will be taken into account by Ukraine's American partners, as their perceptions of the scale of hostilities and territorial changes do not always correspond to reality," DeepState stated.
Media outlets previously reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump discussed possible parameters for a peace agreement at a meeting in the US on August 15. According to sources, the Russian side proposed an end to the war in exchange for recognition of Moscow's control over some territories in eastern Ukraine.
