During this period, the Russian Armed Forces lost approximately 260,000 to 270,000 service members.

In 2026, the Ukrainian Defense Forces liberated 800 square kilometers of occupied territory.

This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

The head of state noted that the occupiers’ total advance amounts to only 90–100 square kilometers, which is significantly less than in previous years, when Russia occupied 3,000–4,000 square kilometers per year. The President of Ukraine emphasized that right now, on the battlefield, “almost everything has come to a standstill” for the Russian army.

He added that in exchange for these minimal territorial gains, the Russian army has lost approximately 260,000–270,000 servicemen since the beginning of the year.

Zelenskyy emphasized that although human losses do not mean defeat for Moscow, the situation for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is by no means successful.

“The situation on the battlefield is unfavorable for Putin. He is not winning, but he is not losing either, because for him, human casualties do not mean defeat,” said the head of state.
