In recent months, russia has started to actively advance on the front. During August and September 2024, the occupiers seized 5.5 times more territory than in all of 2023. This was reported by analysts from UA War Infographics.
"In the first half of this year, russia managed to capture a maximum of 200 square kilometers per month; in August, it was already 351, and in September, 468 square kilometers", - the report states.
Analysts note that the main reasons for this increase are a shortage of weapons (Western partners are not keeping up with Ukraine's needs and their promises) and changes in russian tactics.
