 Ukraine's army liberates as much territory in five weeks as Russians captured in six months. Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War ISW estimated that the Ukraine's armed forces liberated as much territory in five weeks of their counter-offensive as the Russians captured in half a year. According to the report, Russian ground communication lines and Bakhmut are under the fire control of the Ukrainian forces. Sources have recently claimed that Ukraine is advancing on the Bakhmut front and on its southwestern flanks, citing certain geographical factors that could provide Ukrainian soldiers with a firepower advantage. In addition, analysts report that Ukrainian soldiers engaged in counter-offensive actions on the 10th of July in at least three different areas of the front line. Based on its own array of geographical data, the ISW has determined that since the start of the Ukrainian counter-offensive on the 4th of June, Ukrainian forces have reclaimed about 253 square kilometers of land. The review clarifies that Ukrainian data differs from ISW data due to different approaches to calculations. In comparison, since the 1st of January of this year, Russian troops have captured a total of 282 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory. In five weeks, Ukrainian forces liberated almost as much territory as Russian troops captured in six months.
