In August, Russia expanded its control in Ukraine by approximately 350 km², marking the largest monthly gain for Russia since August 2022.
However, Ukraine crossed into Russia, seizing control of approximately 770 km²— 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 🇺🇦 advances in Kursk, 🇷🇺 advances across the line have continued within 🇺🇦.
🇷🇺 advances along the rail line between Avdiivka and Pokrovsk have continued for another week.
🇷🇺 has also gained ground within, as well as south of, Kostyantynivka. Most of the highway to Vuhledar is now contested space.
🇷🇺 has advanced beyond, and therefore also captured, the settlement of Novoselivs’ke in Luhansk Oblast. Clashes for this settlement have been ongoing for over a year.
After the initially rapid advance by 🇷🇺 forces north of Kharkiv, progress in this area has slowed significantly.
🇷🇺 has continued to make progress inside Vovchansk on the north bank of the river.
West of Bakhmut, 🇷🇺 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, 🇷🇺 forces have taken control of Netailove and secured more territory around Umans'ke.
