Ukraine recaptured 201 square kilometres (78 square miles) from Russia between Wednesday and Sunday last week, taking advantage of a Starlink shutdown for Russian forces, according to an AFP analysis of data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

The recaptured area is almost equivalent to the Russian gains for the entire month of December and is the most land retaken by Kyiv’s forces in such a short period since a June 2023 counter-offensive.

    Oh, I know he’s okay with it, but those soldier’s families aren’t okay with it, I can guarantee you that. I doubt any of them think it’s worth it to trade their son’s or husband’s life for…Ukraine? How does that improve the life of the average Russian?
