Ukraine has made its fastest battlefield gains against Russian forces in two and a half years, according to a new analysis published ahead of a fresh round of U.S.-brokered peace talks.
Kyiv retook 201 square kilometers of territory back from Russian troops between February 11 and February 15, the Agence-France Presse news agency reported, citing figures from the U.S.-based think tank Institute for the Study of War. The ISW tracks daily changes to the hundreds of miles of front line snaking through eastern, northern and southern Ukraine.
This is Ukraine’s most rapid advance in this time frame since mid-2023.
