ISW dismisses Putin's claim of capturing 1,300 sq km of Ukraine

Original: ISW called Putin's claims about the capture of 1,300 sq km of Ukraine "hallucinations," as Russia lost territory

The Institute for the Study of War said Vladimir Putin's claim that Russian forces seized 1,300 square kilometres of Ukrainian territory in 2025 does not match battlefield realities, calling the figures detached from the actual situation on the front lines. According to the think tank, Russia has in fact lost ground in recent fighting even as the Kremlin presents the year as one of gains.

Why now: Contradiction between Putin's official statements and battlefield assessments is drawing attention amid ongoing fighting.
