DeepState analysts calculated the area of Ukraine occupied by Russia in January.

According to the analytical project DeepState, in January 2025, Russian occupiers seized 325 square kilometers of Ukrainian land. In addition, they continue active offensive actions, but thanks to the enemy's mistakes, their pace is managed to be slowed down.

«The enemy continues to conduct active offensive actions on many fronts, but almost everywhere it is possible to slow down the pace of the offensive. Mainly significant advances by the enemy occur due to our mistakes, which are constantly repeated», - the message states.

According to DeepState, in December 2024, Russian troops captured 394 km², in November - 730 km², and in October - 503 km².

Heavy defensive battles are ongoing in Velyka Novosilka in Donetsk region, during which Ukrainian defenders are inflicting significant losses on the enemy.

In 2024, Russian invaders aimed to recruit 10.4 thousand residents from temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine into their army. Nearly 10 thousand residents joined the RF army. Russian occupiers attract potential contractors with payments.

«From the beginning of January to the beginning of November 2024, 9.6 thousand residents of the occupied regions of Ukraine signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the RF for military service, which is about 93% of the established target indicator of Russian occupiers for 2024» - stated in the report of the National Resistance Center.

The pace of recruiting Ukrainians into the Russian army is high.
