According to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), in 2024, the Russian army occupied about 752 square kilometres of Ukrainian territory.
Russia continues to seize Ukrainian lands
The ISW team notes that the Russian invaders occupied about 516 square kilometers between January 1, 2024 and April 29, 2024.
According to Western experts, despite the fact that the Russian army was able to achieve tactical success in the north of the Kharkiv region at the beginning of May, the head of the Russian Ministry of Defence, Andrei Belousov, greatly overestimated the advance of Russian troops in Ukraine from the beginning of 2024.
What is important to understand is that on May 31, Putin's henchman cynically lied that the Russian invaders had already managed to capture 880 square kilometers during the first months of this year.
