[Korrespondent] In more than a thousand days of war against Ukraine, the Russians have occupied less than 1% of Ukrainian territory.
 That doesn’t seem right…
Over the last 1010 days of the war, Russian troops have occupied less than 1% of Ukraine's territory, the analytical project DeepState reported on Sunday, August 17.
"Starting from November 12, 2022 (occupied as of date - 108,651 sq. km) to today (114,493 sq. km), the enemy has occupied 5,842 sq. km of Ukrainian territory. This is 0.96781% of the entire area of the Ukrainian state within internationally recognized borders," the statement says.
Analysts explained that the Russians had great success in the first days of the full-scale invasion. But thanks to the offensive operations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the north of the country, in the Kharkiv and Kherson regions, it was possible to recapture most of it.
"After November 12, 2022, the enemy continued active offensive actions, which, with minor interruptions, continue to this day," the statement said.
Recall that the US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff said that Russia had made concessions on its demand for a "territory swap" with Ukraine. He declined to provide specific details, but suggested that the Kremlin is now considering a "territory swap" on the current front lines , rather than on the administrative borders of at least some of the five regions.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said that negotiations with Russia to end the war should take place along the current line of contact and is ready to discuss territorial issues only with Russian leader Vladimir Putin during a trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia meeting.
