1. Russia has accelerated its gains across the front lines in Ukraine for the fourth consecutive month, new analysis has shown.

   In one month, Vladimir Putin’s [invasion force](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04/30/russian-losses-wont-stop-its-war-machine/?msockid=19829ada623e653c03338ce163de6472) captured 275 square miles of Ukrainian territory, compared to the 30 square miles reclaimed by Kyiv’s troops, the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War said.

   Moscow had made net [gains of 195 square miles](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/03/29/russia-captures-only-195-square-miles-of-ukraine-territory/?msockid=19829ada623e653c03338ce163de6472) last month, 146 square miles in April and 92 square miles in March.

   In recent days, Russia has claimed to have captured the [town of Chasiv Yar](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/07/04/ukraine-russia-war-latest-news10/?msockid=19829ada623e653c03338ce163de6472), in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region. Kyiv disputes the claim.

2. I’d expect that in the dry summer months. Let’s see what happens in autumn.

3. so what does Kofman think the solution for Ukraine is? What are the options for them to turn things around?

5. At this new pace it will only take them another 36 years to capture all the territory in the oblasts they claim 🙄

6. “We’ll give you bombs and artillery to kill Russians, but you can’t use them to kill Russians past this line on the map. That’s out of bounds.”

   The insanity of Western demands set Ukraine up to fail.

7. Accelerates from nothing, to little more than nothing.

8. will france and britian step up?

   The free world is faltering

9. “death of russian soldiers accelerates for fourth month straight” is also a valid title

10. Ah, its the supposed Ukrainian supporter who only posts information that looks positive for Russia.

    Funny that.

11. The real metric here should be the rate of casualties per square kilometer of land gained over time. It doesn’t matter if Russia gains accelerate. What matters is what it costs them.

    I would be more concerned about Russia making gains in casualties per square kilometer over time.

12. The big problem is manpower. You can send all the equipment you want you still need men to use them. Ukraine need to improve its recruitment system
