A year of war in Ukraine, in maps

Visit our Ukraine hub to read the best of our coverage of the war.

RUSSIA’S INVASION of Ukraine is a shameless land grab. At the height of Russia’s success its troops controlled, or were advancing on, around 160,000 square kilometres of Ukrainian territory—about 25% of the country. That was in March. Since then Russia’s president and armed forces have suffered humiliating setbacks. Our maps below show how the areas of control have shifted throughout the past 12 months.
