Russia again claims to have taken an eastern Ukrainian region. The real picture is very different
Russia has claimed to have fully occupied Ukraine's Luhansk region for the third time since its invasion, but analysts say the claim is exaggerated. Ukrainian forces have made gains in some areas, and the front line has barely changed in the past six months.
Russia claims to have taken the Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine. However, analysts say this claim is not entirely accurate. The Russian military has held most of Luhansk since the first year of the conflict. Ukrainian forces have made gains in some areas, including retaking land in the south. The goal is to force the Russian military to reallocate troops. Ukraine's commander-in-chief says they are prioritizing counterattacks in areas where Russian forces are weakest.
