"It is very pathetic": the ISW calculated how much the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation advanced in Ukraine in the month
According to experts, from January 31 to February 28 this year, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were able to pay only 0. 039% more than Ukrainian land, which is equal to 233. 94 square kilometers. At the same time, the War Maper Tracking Group reports that in February the Russians managed to capture only 0. 01% of Ukrainian territories. Analysts indicate that in both versions the figures are "small", which indicates the limited territorial conquests of Russia.
At the same time, the Russian army suffered enormous losses of military equipment and personnel last month. The fact that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched an offensive in Ukraine after a few months of stagnation was stated in NATO on February 14. In a few days, the UK Ministry of Defense noted that Russian invaders are moving "not kilometers but meters", if they are moving at all. "Russia has stated that a new offensive is starting.
Well, if so, it is very sorry," said a high -ranking American diplomat. The authors of the publication noted that the Russians also failed to achieve significant success at the front in March. The slow progress of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has been recorded in Bakhmut, but the city has not yet been taken by Russian forces.
According to the Chairman of the Joint Committee of US Headquarters Mark Millie, at the end of February the loss of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Bakhmut reached 1,200 soldiers a day. The International Institute for Strategic Studies also emphasized that Russia has lost half of its main tanks with Ukraine in the war. According to British intelligence of March 14, the Russian army has not been able to take significant offensive actions in Ukraine over the last week.
