In their latest report on the situation on the fronts in Ukraine, experts from the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) paid significant attention to the sharp decline in the pace of the russian occupiers' advance.
According to ISW, the invaders' casualties remain at the same high level as during their fastest advance. However, its analysts refer to the data on enemy losses announced by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Instead, ISW estimates the scale of the enemy's advance independently.
