    Can you share the source link?

    Also is that net liberated or “liberated x land” but doesn’t account for “lost y land”

    To be clear I support Ukraine and want them to win. Just I find it hard to get a sense of how things are going big picture.

      Not sure, but here are some numbers you might find interesting:

      The net loss of Ukrainian land in all of calendar year 2024 was 0.7 % of Ukraine’s total land area. This number completely ignores the existence of areas that Ukrainian forces held inside the Russia. If those were to be taken into account, the loss would be around 0.4 % or so.

      A few weeks ago it was said that in the preceding 12 months, Ukraine has lost 0.3 % of its total land area.
