[Korrespondent] Ukrainian Armed Forces are holding back Russian offensive in eastern and southern Ukraine.
The enemy continues to conduct active offensive operations in many areas, but almost everywhere it has been possible to slow down the pace of the offensive, analysts say.
Russian occupation forces advanced and occupied 325 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory in January, the lowest level since August 2024, the DeepState analytics project reported on Saturday, February 1.
"The enemy continues to conduct active offensive actions in many areas, but almost everywhere we manage to slow down the pace of the offensive. Basically, significant enemy advances are due to our mistakes, which are constantly repeated," the statement says.
According to published statistics, from August to November 2024 inclusive, Russians occupied larger territories every month - from 363 sq km in August to 730 sq km in November. From January to July, the occupiers occupied smaller areas - from 39 sq km in March to 317 sq km in May.
Let us recall that the losses of the Russian Federation have approached 840 thousand fighters since the beginning of the great war. In just one day on January 31, more than 1,400 Russians were "minus" at the front.
On Saturday, as of 16:00, the Russians carried out 71 attacks on the front. The enemy is attacking most in the Pokrovsky, Kupyansky and Limansky directions.
