One Casualty For Every Football-field-sized Patch of Land

THANKS TO THE GOOD HEARTS OF ALL WHO SUPPORT OUR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
Lozova – Between dead and injured, the Russian Federation lost some 418,000 men in Ukraine in 2025. That immense bloodshed produced an advance of only 4,322 square kilometers, i.e., the occupation of just over 0.7% of Ukrainian territory. The Russians left around 97 men dead for every square kilometer of Ukrainian land they captured. That’s roughly one casualty for every football-field-sized patch of land.
Although the pace of the Russian advance had even increased slightly compared to the previous year, it stalled in December, with progress about30% slower than in previous months. Given that impasse, the number of losses actually increased, so much so that President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that, for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Moscow was losing more men than it could recruit. To be precise, the 43,000 expendables it collects each month from 128 countries at best are no longer sufficient today.
This definitively confirms the picture we’ve been painting from the field for months: that the Russians are short of manpower, despite Kremlin propaganda to the contrary.
Capitalizing on a series of laws passed in November that allow reservists to undergo in rapid training to ‘protect Russian critical facilities’, Moscow has been throwing its reserves into the Pokrovsk meat grinder for at least two months, yet still has not captured the area as of early 2026.
There, the Ukrainian Armed Forces recently launched another counteroffensive that derailed Moscow’s plans, freed over 13 square kilometers of territory, and stabilized the flow of its logistics, including in nearby Rivne and Myrnohrad.
Russian attempts to breach those corridors and Ukrainian defenses north of the Pokrovsk railway remain unsuccessful. Moscow’s reservists continue to hide in small pockets there, resorting primarily to demonstrations and propaganda aimed at a domestic audience, consisting of planting a flag and holding out long enough to be filmed by a drone.
«They’re inventing successes» – Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, said, mocking Vladimir Putin’s lies about Myrnohrad, Huliaypole, and Kupiansk.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has hit rock bottom over the past few hours, publishing a false report and map about the alleged Ukrainian drone attack on one of Putin’s residences, which were twice edited to align with the Kremlin’s rhetoric.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has denied these fake news and the spread of other false claims about the Russian army’s alleged successes on the battlefield.
The defense of Huliaypole continues, with the destruction of Russian infantry groups; the Pokrovsk-Rivne-Myrnohrad agglomeration remains supported by Ukrainian logistics; Kupiansk is over 90% under Kyiv control; and Kostiantynivka – which Moscow claims is half under its control – is still held by Ukrainian defenders, who recently also thwarted a Russian assault in the Dobropillia direction, destroying a dozen enemy armored vehicles.
For the first time, the Ukrainian Coordination Center has revealed the number of Russian prisoners held by Kyiv: 10,000 soldiers. A figure made even more significant by the fact that more Russians surrendered in 2025 than in 2022 and 2023 combined.
As all the evidence on the ground demonstrates – and Zelensky has also confirmed – the Russian army has stopped growing in size. On the battlefield, it is not achieving the successes the Kremlin touts and then pursues through diplomacy, confining Russian power politics and expansionism to a bubble of lies.
每占领一片足球场大小的土地就有一个伤亡

洛佐瓦——2025年，俄罗斯联邦在乌克兰的死伤人数达约418,000人。这场巨大的流血代价仅仅换来了4,322平方公里的推进，即占领了稍多于0.7%的乌克兰领土。俄罗斯人每占领一平方公里乌克兰土地，就要损失大约97名士兵，换算下来大约是每个足球场大小的土地就有一个伤亡。

尽管与前一年相比，俄罗斯的推进速度略有提高，但在12月却停滞不前，进度比之前的几个月慢了大约30%。在这一僵局下，损失人数实际上是增加的，甚至总统弗拉基米尔·泽伦斯基宣布，自俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰以来，莫斯科损失的人数首次超过了其能够招募的人数。具体而言，俄方每月从128个国家招募的43,000名补充力量如今已不足以满足其需求。
这明确证实了我们数月来从前线描绘的情景：俄罗斯仍面临人手不足的问题——与克里姆林宫的宣传恰恰相反。

利用11月通过的一系列允许预备役人员进行快速培训以“保护俄罗斯关键设施”的法律，莫斯科在过去至少两个月里不断将后备役部队投放到波克罗夫斯克的绞肉机里，但截至2026年初仍未能占领该地区。
在那里，乌克兰武装部队最近发起了另一波反攻，打乱了莫斯科的计划，解放了超过13平方公里的领土，并稳定了其后勤补给线，包括邻近的里夫涅和米尔诺赫拉德。
俄罗斯试图突破波克罗夫斯克铁路北部走廊和乌克兰防线的努力仍然未能成功。莫斯科的预备役人员仍继续在小区域内继续藏匿，主要采取面向国内受众的展示和宣传手段，包括进行插旗表演，并坚持足够长的时间等待无人机拍摄。
“他们在编造成功”——乌克兰国家安全与防御委员会反虚假信息中心主任安德里·科瓦连科嘲讽弗拉基米尔·普京关于米尔诺赫拉德、霍利亚波尔和库皮扬斯克的谎言。

俄罗斯国防部在过去几小时中跌入低谷，发布了一份关于乌克兰无人机攻击普京某处住所的虚假报告和地图，该报告经过了两次编辑以符合克里姆林宫的说法。
乌克兰武装部队总参谋部对这些虚假新闻以及关于俄罗斯军队在战场上所谓的成功的其他虚假说法进行了否认。

霍利亚波尔的防御仍在继续，俄罗斯步兵小组被摧毁；波克罗夫斯克-里夫涅-米尔诺赫拉德聚集区仍然在乌克兰后勤的支持下；库皮扬斯克超过90%在基辅的控制之下；而俄罗斯声称其控制了一半的科斯蒂扬季夫卡仍由乌克兰防御者把守，他们最近也在多布罗皮利亚方向挫败了俄罗斯的进攻，摧毁了十多辆敌方装甲车。
乌克兰协调中心首次披露了基辅所拘俄罗斯战俘的人数：10,000名士兵。2025年投降的俄军人数超过了2022年和2023年的总和，这一数字更为重要。
正如前线所有证据所示——泽伦斯基也已确认——俄罗斯军队的规模已停止增长。在战场上，未能取得克里姆林宫所吹嘘的、并试图通过外交途径达成的成功，如此将俄罗斯的权力政治和扩张主义局限于谎言的泡沫中。
