Russia seizes 564 sq. km of Ukrainian territory in July – DeepState

The OSINT project DeepState reported the information.

In July, Ukraine's territorial losses by direction were as follows:

• Novopavlivka — 34% of the total area lost (12% of monthly assault operations)
• Pokrovsk — 22% (35% of assaults)
• Lyman — 12% (15% of assaults)
• Kharkiv (including Kupiansk) — 9% (9% of assaults)
• Toretsk — 5% (5% of assaults)
• Siversk — 4% (4% of assaults)
• Zaporizhzhia — 3% (1.3% of assaults)
• Sumy — 0% (11% of assaults)

“No matter how it sounds, in this ratio, the Pokrovsk and Sumy directions are the most effective — the enemy needs to attack more often there to make gains,” DeepState notes.

At the same time, they point out that the Novopavlivka direction is the most concerning: there, Russian forces are losing less personnel, achieving more success.

“In other areas, the ratio is almost 1:1, which even surprises us with how precisely it matches,” the analysts say.

• As of August 1, Russian forces made gains in Donetsk region, advancing in Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, Zelenyi Hay, near Oleksiivka, and Andriyivka-Klevtseve.
