Russia was only able to increase its territorial control in Ukraine by 0.39% in February
Russia only managed to expand its territorial control over Ukraine by 0.39% last month of February, which saw the bloodiest fighting between the two sides, which suffered significant human casualties. The data was released this Wednesday by American media insiders, who obtained it from mapping done by the Institute for War (ISW, for its English acronym) Expert Group on Ukraine.
According to this group of experts, it is the Russian army during its offensive on March 31. It is a fact that during this period “there were the most brutal battles that cost him [a Rusia] Thousands of soldiers and vital equipment,” notes the ISW.
According to insiders, this increase in captured territory is similar to that of another conflict monitoring group, War Mapper, which stressed that Russia managed to increase its control by 0.01% in February, equivalent to about 85 square kilometers. As the ISW explained to Insider, the difference between “both numbers is very small” and could be due to a small attribution error, but ultimately accurately represents the “limited state of Russia’s territorial gains.”
Moscow also made no significant progress in its offensive against Ukraine in March. His army has fought along the eastern front line, approaching the city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region in one of the bloodiest and protracted battles of the war, considered one of the bloodiest and longest-lasting battles, but without having achieved its objectives. And their losses were huge, Insider points out. (Ephesians)
