During the last 12 months the Russia has “advnced” so much that it controls about 0.3 % more of Ukraine’s territory than it did those 12 monrhs ago. That’s less than one third of a percent.
During the whole calendar year 2024 the Russia managed to conquer 0.7 % of Ukraine’s total area.
0.7 % is not “advancing”. The Russia is not advancing and hasn’t advanced since spring 2022.
Why do reporters keep writing that the Russia is advancing when it factually doesn’t?
where’s that trigger number that makes you think they are advancing? 10%? 25%? and what will you say then? it’s too late, let’s forget about them, they are lost to russia? 0.7% is 0.7% to many. 0.7% of the land contains people’s homes. imagine your home on the territory that becomes occupied and the narrative goes “there’s no advance”. do you even exist then? are you even being protected by your country?

You are correct to point this out, it has to be purposeful spin. Russia is condemning a terrible number of soldiers to death for little to nothing, the ground lost by Ukraine is irrelevant at this rate.
Even worse for Russia, there is no armored blitz they can make to suddenly make rapid progress, since they don’t even have enough unarmored vehicles let alone armored personnel carriers.
