The Ukrainian Armed Forces Have Regained Control Of More Than 800 Square Kilometers Of Ukrainian Territory

This result was achieved during two offensive operations.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces, based on

following two offensive operations, have regained control of a total of more than 800 square kilometers of territory. This was reported by the commander of Ukraine’s Airborne Assault Forces Oleg Apostol, who noted that the methodology for calculating the results of one of the operations had been revised. The major general did not disclose exactly which areas were covered by these offensive operations, according to OBOZ.UA.

Apostol made this statement during a meeting with journalists while answering a question from a representative of the DeepState analytical project regarding the accuracy of data on liberated territories. The commander explained that the initial figures were higher, but after refining the methodology for accounting for territories, the results of one of the operations were recalculated.

According to Oleg Apostol, the refinement concerned the methodology for determining the area of territories over which the Ukrainian military had regained control. Specifically, the approach to accounting for areas where combat operations were ongoing and the presence of Russian troops was confirmed was changed.

During the discussion, journalists noted that it is important to distinguish between territories under the enemy’s sustained control and areas where the enemy infiltrates in small groups. This distinction is important for objectively determining the results of combat operations and the area of territory actually liberated.

The commander of the Airborne Forces confirmed that the initial figures for one of the operations were later revised. At the same time, he estimated the total area of territory regained during the two offensive operations at more than 800 square kilometers.

Separately, Apostol emphasized that the successful advance of Ukrainian troops and the restoration of control over the territory do not yet mean that it will be possible to hold onto it in the future. To do so, it is necessary to organize defenses in advance, ensure coordination between units, and ensure the proper transfer of responsibility for the captured lines.

According to him, the effectiveness of an offensive operation is determined not only by how far the troops have advanced or how much territory they have liberated. It is also important that units, which transition to a defensive posture after the conclusion of offensive operations, be provided with prepared positions, the necessary supplies, and clearly defined tasks.
