In August, Russia expanded its control in Ukraine by approximately 350 kmยฒ, marking the largest monthly gain for Russia since August 2022.
However, Ukraine crossed into Russia, seizing control of approximately 770 kmยฒโ an area equivalent to all Russian advances since the end of April.
As of the end of August, Russia occupies 17.79% (+0.06%) of Ukraine, including Crimea, and the parts of Donetsk and Luhansk occupied before 2022, shown in purple.
This second chart illustrates how Russian control has evolved since the invasion began in February 2022.
Here is a breakdown of how control has shifted on the four most active fronts within Ukraine over the past month.
While attention has been on the unexpected ๐บ๐ฆ advances in Kursk, ๐ท๐บ advances across the line have continued within ๐บ๐ฆ.
๐ท๐บ advances along the rail line between Avdiivka and Pokrovsk have continued for another week.
๐ท๐บ has also gained ground within, as well as south of, Kostyantynivka. Most of the highway to Vuhledar is now contested space.
๐ท๐บ has advanced beyond, and therefore also captured, the settlement of Novoselivsโke in Luhansk Oblast. Clashes for this settlement have been ongoing for over a year.
East of Toretsk, the ๐ท๐บ breakthrough has continued to expand. Most of Zalizne, Pivnichne, and Niu-York are now under ๐ท๐บ control.
๐บ๐ฆ forces in eastern Niu-York will have to withdraw to prevent encirclement. Defences here have held since the start of the war.
West of Bakhmut, ๐ท๐บ has crossed the canal into the main part of the settlement of Chasiv Yar after previously seizing the district west of the canal.
Additional ๐ท๐บ advances also continued west of Avidiivka. It remains to be seen if the new ๐บ๐ฆ defensive line here can contain the advance.
After the initially rapid advance by ๐ท๐บ forces north of Kharkiv, progress in this area has slowed significantly.
๐ท๐บ has continued to make progress inside Vovchansk on the north bank of the river.
West of Bakhmut, ๐ท๐บ has advanced into the eastern outskirts of Chasiv Yar as well as re-entering and taking control of much of the settlement of Klishchiivka.
West of Avdiivka, ๐ท๐บ forces have taken control of Netailove and secured more territory around Umans'ke.
