Cambios de territorio durante la guerra en Ucrania

By Phil Bainbridge

August 24, 2024 - Ucrania marca su Día de la Independencia ldespués de dos años y medio de guerra, con casi 20% del país bajo control de Rusia y manteniéndose, según se cree, en más de 1.250km² de territorio ruso

Two and a half years have passed since Russia’s unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, but the military stalemate between Ukraine and Russia appears to be continuing without any end in sight.

Russia has been making small gains in eastern Ukraine in recent months but the Ukrainian plan to shift the momentum by launching a counter-offensive into Russian territory has left the Kremlin unsure how to proceed. 200,000 Russians were evacuated from border regions as the Ukrainian forces took control of what they claim is over 1,200 sq km of the Russian region of Kursk.

Prior to the February 2022, Russia and its proxies in Donbas occupied around 7% of Ukrainian territory, having also annexed Crimea in 2014. In the first few weeks of the war, as Russian troops advanced to the edge of Kyiv and swept through the south and east of the country, this increased to around 27%

However, the first Ukrainian counter-offensive, from April to November 2022 saw them push the Russians back from Kyiv and Chernihiv and reclaim swathes of Kharkiv and Kherson provinces.

Since then, the battle for eastern Ukraine has claimed thousands of lives, Russian and Ukrainian, military and civilian, for marginal territorial gains.
