Since January 2024, Russian forces seized roughly 5,000 square kilometers of additional Ukrainian territory, under one percent of the country. In areas such as Kharkiv, Russian advances average about 50 meters per day. Those incremental territorial gains have occurred alongside very high losses. During April 1 to June 30, 2025, Russian casualties likely surpassed one million, including approximately 250,000 killed and 750,000 wounded, missing, or captured.

The conflict remains dominated by artillery and unmanned aircraft strikes, with Russia increasing artillery and UAV expenditure.
