Russian forces reportedly lost control of almost 300 square kilometers of territory between March and September 2026, a stretch that includes Ukraine's Operation Vivaldi, said to have liberated at least 147 square kilometers over several months.

Why now: The reported territorial losses challenge the prevailing narrative that Russia holds the battlefield initiative, prompting debate about the front line's trajectory.
