Control over Ukraine
(lemmy.world)
The chart below shows how control of the country has developed over the course of the war.
Prior to the invasion on 24th February 2022, Russia occupied approximately 7.04% of Ukraine.
Subsequently, Russia has expanded its occupation to an additional 10.46% of Ukraine.
The majority of July was advancements measured in meters on foot, carefully looking for landmines with artillery support to counter the Russian artillery.
The Russian minefields, combined with huge amounts of defensive artillery seems to have effectively stalled the Ukrainians, for now at least. I saw some rumors of big counter-offenses in July, but Ukraine ain't talking about them yet and Russia decided to silence all their milbloggers. So the front-lines are more mysterious / fog-of-war than ever.
I don't know where to look up the July numbers personally. I don't think anyone has good July numbers yet.
For now Ukraine is focused on shaping the battlefield, namely Cutting supply lines and disabling artillery and trucks.
They will push when the times has come.
Make sense. You don’t know what to believe.
Iirc I’ve read a post here which gave me the impression that Ukraine recaptured like 20% of occupied territories in July.
As per the chart, 20% of occupied territory would translate to 1-2%.
