    Russia's July Territorial Gains in Ukraine Outpace Retakes, Unlikely to Control Donetsk Region by 2026

    Russia occupied 36 km² more territory in Ukraine than Ukrainian forces reclaimed in July, according to DeepState. Despite this, analysts believe Russia will not capture the entire Donetsk region by the end of 2026 or 2027 due to the current pace of advances. The front has been relatively static for three months, with Russian gains offset by Ukrainian successes. The situation remains volatile, with potential Russian mobilization in the fall and ongoing developments in drone technology.

    Ukraine's Donetsk Region at Risk of Russian Advancement

    Ukraine may lose control over key cities in the Donetsk region in the coming months, with Konstantinovka potentially falling by the end of winter. The risk extends to Lyman and Dobropillya by the end of 2026. Russian troops could approach Slovyansk and Kramatorsk as early as late winter. Despite ambitious plans to reach the Donetsk region's administrative border by year-end, Ukrainian sources doubt Russia's capability to achieve this even by 2027.

    Russia Captures More Territory Than Ukraine Liberates in July

    According to Deep State, Russia captured more territory than Ukraine liberated in July. The net increase in occupied territory was 36 sq. km, but after adjusting for delayed Ukrainian successes, Russia's actual advance was estimated to be around 88 sq. km. The most complex situations remain near Rodynske, Kostyantynivka, along the state border, and in the directions of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Analysts believe Russia will not occupy the entire Donetsk region by 2026 or 2027 at the current pace.
