reference news reported on september 3according to a report on the german news tv channel website on september 2, in its military operations against ukraine, the russian army achieved the largest advancement area in august this year since october 2022. according to data from the us think tank institute for the study of war, the russian army controlled an additional 477 square kilometers of ukrainian territory in august.
the report said this was the largest increase in controlled area in russia since october 2022, equivalent to more than 15 square kilometers added every day in august.
data shows that the ukrainian armed forces quickly advanced to the kursk region on the russian border in early august. within two weeks, they occupied 1,100 square kilometers. however, the pace of advancement has slowed down in recent weeks. it is calculated that the area of the kursk region occupied by the ukrainian army is between 1,150 square kilometers and 1,300 square kilometers.
