 Over 40,000 square kilometres, Ukrainian soldiers liberated since beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion. More than 40,000 square kilometres of Ukrainian land has been liberated by the Defence Forces since the beginning of the full-scale invasion from Russia, Stratkom Telegram channel said. Over 40,000 square kilometres of Ukrainian land has been liberated by the Defence Forces since February 24, 2022. This is more than the territory of Moldova. Slightly less than two of Israel and about 15 cities like Moscow, the Telegram channel said. In recent weeks, the frontline battlefield in eastern and southern Ukraine remain punishing arenas of trench warfare, drone attacks and artillery battles. Heavily mined and fortified Russian positions are slowing Ukraine's long-anticipated counteroffensive. Russia's military continues to launch missiles into all parts of Ukraine, attacking infrastructure and other targets, while Western countries continue to supply Ukraine with ammunition, equipment and training. Meanwhile, Ukrainian soldiers continue the fight against Russia in their now two-month counteroffensive. Ukrainians are facing deeply dug-in Russian forces who have constructed and fortified hard-to-overcome obstacles, including these so-called dragon's teeth, barricades and hundreds of miles of concentrated land mines, where now even Russian corpses can kill. Ukraine will soon mark the passing of 18 months since Russian forces launched their invasion in February of 2022.
