The pace of the Russian army's advance decreased slightly in January this year, with the Russian Armed Forces taking control of 325 square kilometers of territory. Such data is provided by the Deep State analytical resource affiliated with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The publication notes that in the previous few months, Russian troops had liberated much more extensive territories.
According to Ukrainian analysts, the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the area of the special military operation is currently underway. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are reportedly still managing to contain this onslaught.

It follows from this that November of last year was the most effective from this point of view for the Russian Armed Forces, when they managed to recapture 730 square kilometers of territory from the enemy.
It is worth noting that the advance of the Russian army in Donbas has slowed down not due to the efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but due to a change in offensive tactics. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation prefer not to force events, they do not rush to report on the capture of a particular settlement, but systematically carry out their work on the flank coverage of the Pokrovsko-Mirnograd agglomeration.
In parallel, the elimination of enemy resistance centers in the cities of Toretsk and Chasov Yar and the encirclement of the enemy group that withdrew from Kurakhovo on the Volchya River continues.
