The war in Ukraine began over four years ago.
- The Russia continues its numerous bombings.
- But for the first time, and for several reasons, the Russian army did not gain any territory in March and sometimes even retreated.
It has been 1,500 days, four years, since the war broke out in Ukraine. From the early hours, scenes of devastation have been seen. Moscow continues its bombings, especially in the east of the country and in Kiev. Even on Friday to Saturday night, a large attack by Russian drones hit Ukraine, causing five deaths and 19 injuries in a market in the city of Nikopol, according to local authorities.
However, according to data from the Institute for the Study of War, the front line of over 1,000 km has not significantly changed in a month. Russia did not gain any territory in Ukraine in March 2026. The Russian army even sometimes retreated. This hasn’t happened since 2023 in certain sectors.
The Ukrainian counter-offensives are becoming more effective, Russia is unable to use the Starlink terminals, these ultra-fast satellites, and access to the encrypted messaging app Telegram is also restricted, even though it is widely used on the front by Russian soldiers. But Moscow still occupies approximately 19% of Ukrainian territory, most of which was acquired in the early weeks of the conflict.
