Russia’s eastern Ukraine ground offensive
Gone quiet since
Where it stands
The report describes Russia’s eastern Ukraine ground offensive as an attritional grind, with advances measured in meters and heavy losses; it cites an estimate that Russia seized 0.8 percent of Ukrainian land last year. It gives no update on current frontline positions or whether the offensive has stopped, so those remain open as of August 1, 2026.

20-35 Minutes: The Brutal Math of Russia's War in Ukraine
Survival is counted in minutes, advances in square kilometres, and losses in the hundreds of thousands. The numbers point to a war that moves but does not decide.
Still open after this report
- No verified source here for the 0.8% land figure, the 50/70/90-metre daily advances, or the Kramatorsk underground-army claim.
- No confirmed attribution here for a UK intelligence death toll or a May 2026 net territorial loss.
