Russia's battlefield gains in Ukraine have nearly vanished this year, with significant losses reported by independent observers and the Ukrainian military. The territory captured by Russian forces has drastically decreased compared to previous years, with only 117.38 square kilometers gained in 2026. In contrast, 2025 saw over 5,300 square kilometers captured. Russian casualties have also surged, with estimates of over 381,300 personnel killed or injured this year. Ukraine has intensified attacks on Russian oil refineries to undermine Russia's energy revenues, targeting multiple facilities in recent weeks. Despite attempts to sell diesel to the U.S., Russia struggles to find buyers due to legal repercussions from U.S. sanctions.
