    As of yesterday, it's been 2 months since the beginning of Ukraine's offensive. Since then, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been able to capture an area of around 360.49KM^2, or around 0.02% of Russian controlled area. This came at a cost of extreme losses. Ukraine lost around 20% of the weaponry Ukraine sent to the battlefield, according to U.S. and European officials in just the first two weeks. While western media doesn't report personnel losses, it's pretty clear they must be in many thousands given stunning loss of equipment Ukraine has suffered.

    Pentagon, and NATO, have put a deadline on the Armed Forces of Ukraine for September-November time-range for them to achieve significant results in terms of territorial gains. The west has already threatened to reduce support when they fail.

    It seems like we are slowly but surely approaching the end of the narrative here.

      Can you get me sources for the amount of area recaptured? I got a lib saying Ukraine has recovered over 1/3 of territory lost.

        here's BBC talking about it, a perfect source for libs https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66383377

        In two months Ukrainian troops have advanced, at most, about 10 miles (16km) in two areas along the region's 100-mile (160km) front, according to independent analysis.
