Russia Media: Ukraine has lost around 3600 square kilometers by 2024
According to media reports from Kiev, Russia has conquered almost 3,600 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory in the past year - an area almost 1.5 times the size of Saarland. The military blog "Militarnyi" reported that Ukraine suffered the greatest territorial losses in November with 610 square kilometers, when the Russians occupied around 20 square kilometers a day, citing maps from "Deepstate", another military blog. The losses in 2024 are a multiple of the previous year.

There is no official confirmation of the figures. In mid-December, the Ukrainian telegram channel UA War Infographics estimated that Russian troops had captured a good 2,800 square kilometers since the beginning of the year. However, Ukraine still lost 510 square kilometers in December. It is striking that Kiev's territorial losses have increased significantly following its own summer offensive and the conquests in the Kursk region of western Russia.
Russian troops are continuing to advance even after the turn of the year. In the last 24 hours, they are said to have made territorial gains at Kurakhove, near the strategically important city of Pokrovsk, as well as in the contested city of Torezk.
