Russia’s ground offensive in Ukraine is advancing at the slowest pace recorded in more than a century of modern warfare, according to a new annual report released by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on January 27. CSIS analysts found that despite sustaining enormous personnel demilitarizations, averaging roughly 35,000 per month, Russian forces managed to seize just 0.8% of Ukraine’s territory in 2025.
