Russian forces have made significant advances on the front line, capturing 5.5 times more territory in August and September 2024 than they did throughout all of 2023. This data comes from analysts at the UA War Infographics project, who shared their findings on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
According to the report, in the first half of 2024, Russian troops were capturing up to 200 square kilometers per month at most. However, in August, they managed to seize 351 square kilometers, and by September, this number had increased to 468.

Me thinks the Ruskies made a big mistake assuming Ukraine would roll over dead when faced by the mighty ... or not so mighty Russian Army.
Zeepers will claim source is Ruzzia Propaganda.
When will Z-Man’s “Victory Plan” be unleashed?
Still, relatively little.
Still don’t know why Putin needs Ukraine. They’re still the largest country without them. Ok, ego. Nutso. It isn’t doing him any good in the PR dept.
Following the war on gps-based websites, it has been a relentless westward creep by the Russians, with existing trends accelerating in recent months, coinciding with the Ukrainians’ inexplicable diversion of forces into the kursk adventure,
That’s not the mistake the Russians made.
“Still, relatively little.”
So said the Germans in WW2 regarding Russia’s march on Berlin in a war of attrition that went slowly at first and then ‘all of a sudden.’
The Ukraine is fast approaching a collapse of its ability to fight and the Europeans and Americans are starting to slap Little Z Man’s begging bowl out of his tiny hands.
Russia will never give that land back. Ukraine running out of soldiers and “war-welfare” from NATO. It’s all over except for the admission of defeat.
Imagine if Texas had been the route through which the Swedish, French, Germans invaded the USA multiple times over the last 250 years. And 80 years ago, the invaders almost made it to Washington DC. Oh, and now China has installed a new government in Texas, and Texas wants to become a member of a Mexican/Chinese military alliance with the world's most advanced weapons.
Maybe that analogy helps.
so Ukraine wants more money now before Trump shows up ?
Putin doesn’t need Ukraine—But just the parts where Russians live—that just so happens to have all the Natural Resources like coal mines etc... He wants his statue next to Catherine the Great—as the restorer of Greater Russia-to the Black sea.
Good analogy.
That NATo crap was the last straw.
They have history enough to be paranoid about borders.
“ Following the war on gps-based websites, it has been a relentless westward creep by the Russians, with existing trends accelerating in recent months, coinciding with the Ukrainians’ inexplicable diversion of forces into the kursk adventure,”
*********************************************************************
The Kursk resource diversion may have had something to do with it but the general degradation of Ukrainian military forces is the major cause. Deaths and maiming have been the major factors but desertions (up to 100,000 according to some sources) have become an increasing concern.
Many in the “for the duration” Ukrainian military don’t want to be the last to die or be maimed “for Zelensky”.
Probably the same reason Bush and successive Presidents after him thought the US needed Afghanistan and Iraq.
It’s the same reason China is circling Taiwan practicing cutting them off with a blockade.
Same reason North and South Korea are talking like war could break out at any moment.
Same reason Israel the Islamic Terrorists are fighting each other street to street.
Same reason Iran is firing ballistic missiles at Israel.
Same reason the goat herders in Yemen have cut off the red sea.
It’s the nature of man to be at war, peace over the years has been the exception, war is the norm.
“When will Z-Man’s “Victory Plan” be unleashed?”
The “Victory Plan” is joining NATO and invoking Article 5 to get the USA to fight Russia.
Searching the site reveals only one article addressing Nazis in Ukraine, and it is a long winded denial that the Azov Battalion ever were Nazis.
According to The New Voice of Ukraine search function, no other Nazi elements ever existed in Ukraine.
There is no possibility that The New Voice of Ukraine is Russian propaganda.
I believe that is correct.
I believe you are correct.
Still don’t know why Putin needs Ukraine.
Putin doesn’t want missiles on his border, that’s why. And some of the areas he’s taken voted to rejoin Russia but were denied by Ukraine.
Worrying about why the rattlesnake wants to bite you is irrelevant. It’s going to bite because it feels threatened, whether it’s right or wrong about it.
