Russian troops are accelerating their offensive in eastern Ukraine, occupying an area of almost 235 square kilometers over the past week. This was a record for the speed of advance of the Russian army in one week in 2024, writes Reuters, reports UNN.
Reuters, citing the independent Russian news agency group, writes that the Russian army has set new weekly and monthly records for the size of the occupied territory in Ukraine. over the past week, the Russian army allegedly captured almost 235 square kilometers in Ukraine, which is a weekly record for 2024, the report says.
In November, Russian troops occupied 600 square kilometers, the publication adds, referring to data from the deepstate service, which studies combat footage and provides maps of the front line.
Finnish analyst Pasi Parainen of the Black Bird Group also reports that Russian troops took control of approximately 667 square kilometers this month, citing data that he believes may cover some delayed October events.
As noted by Reuters, the war, according to some Western and Russian officials, is entering the "most dangerous" phase. Russia uses North Korean troops in Ukraine, and Kiev - missiles supplied by the West, to launch retaliatory strikes on the territory of Russia.
Moscow, which, like North Korea, has neither confirmed nor denied the presence of North Korean troops, used a medium-range hypersonic missile to strike Ukraine last week, and on Tuesday night launched the largest Russian drone attack on Ukraine.
