Russia's territorial gains in eastern Ukraine have surged, with the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reporting almost six times more territory gained in 2024 compared to 2023. Russian forces have advanced towards key Ukrainian hubs, including Kupiansk and Kurakhove, while Ukraine's efforts in the Kursk region are faltering.
