The Armed Forces in 5 weeks released as many territories as the Russian Federation seized in six months - ISW

According to analysts, there are three directions on the front: Bakhmut, Melitopol and Berdyansk. All Ukrainian defenders are successful. In 5 weeks of offensive actions, the Ukrainian military managed to release as many territories as the Russian Federation has taken over the last six months. This is stated in the report of the American Institute of War Study (ISW) of July 10. Currently, the counter -offensive occurs in the three main directions of the front, as noted earlier in the defense forces.

It is about Bakhmut, Berdyansk and Melitopol. ISW analysts also decided to calculate the terrain data and calculated about 253 square kilometers of the territory from the beginning of the Ukrainian counter -offensive, which again came under Ukrainian control. This report is somewhat different from the official reports of the General Staff, and in ISW ​​states that this is due to the fact that Ukraine "has differently calculated its initial control over the territory.

" According to experts, in their calculations, they took as a basis the principle of "apples to apples" and compared the achievements of the Armed Forces and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. "The Russian forces have captured only 282 square kilometers throughout the theater of hostilities from January 1 (2023 - ed. ) It is reported in the report of the Institute of War Study.
