Russia occupied more territory than Ukraine liberated in July — DeepState
Russia occupied more Ukrainian territory in July than Ukraine’s Defense Forces recaptured, battlefield monitoring project DeepState reported.
In July, Russian forces expanded their territory in Ukraine by 36 square kilometers, according to battlefield monitoring project DeepState. However, Ukrainian forces had liberated 52 square kilometers during the same period. This means that Russia's net gain was 88 square kilometers. Despite the gains, DeepState cautioned that Ukrainian successes were often delayed due to operational security reasons.
Additionally, DeepState highlighted that Ukraine had made significant advances in other sectors, covering 49 and 83 square kilometers respectively. The analysts noted that these recent successes were smaller than previous ones, but were still notable. They also mentioned that Russia's goal of occupying all of Donetsk Oblast in 2026 was unrealistic and would likely remain so in 2027.
Furthermore, DeepState observed a decline in the role of infantry in the conflict, suggesting that any future Russian attacks would likely differ from past operations.
