    Vladimir Putin claimed that Russian forces captured over 1,300 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory in September, but the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) estimates that Russian troops actually suffered net territorial losses of 80.81 sq. km during the same period. Even considering areas where Russian forces briefly entered but did not maintain control, Russia's territorial losses in September amounted to 175.18 sq. km.
