Recent battlefield evaluations utilizing ISW data indicate that Russian troops may be losing traction in Ukraine, having experienced a net reduction of 91 square miles of land in the last month. The analysis reveals that Russia has forfeited nearly double the territory compared to the prior month, with a notable loss of 10 square miles just in the latest week. Although a different Ukrainian OSINT group notes minor territorial adjustments, both sets of data reflect a deceleration in Russian progress. These insights emerge as US-supported diplomatic initiatives gain momentum, while casualties continue to rise for both parties involved in the conflict.
