Russian forces currently occupy around 20 percent of Ukraine, leaving the remaining 80 percent of the country under Ukraine’s sovereign control.
At the current rate of advance, it would take Russian forces over 83 years to capture the remaining 80 percent of Ukraine, assuming that they can sustain massive personnel losses indefinitely.
Russia’s rate of advance on the frontline has slowed significantly over the past three months.[1]
Russian forces are making small territorial gains at the cost of massive personnel losses.[2]
Russian forces advanced at an average rate of 27.94 square kilometers per day in November 2024, 18.1 square kilometers per day in December 2024, and 16.1 square kilometers per day in January 2025.[3]

After the Russians wipe out the AFU [coming soon to a theater near you!], it’ll be a walkover.
