Map shows territorial shifts in Ukraine since war began one year ago
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has covered a large part of the country's territory since it began one year ago. This animation from The Associated Press shows the areas occupied each day by Russian forces and the areas recaptured in Ukrainian counteroffensives. Ukraine is readying another military push to roll back Russian forces with the help of weaponry that has poured in from the West. A year on, casualty figures are horrific on both sides, although Moscow and Kyiv keep precise numbers under wraps. Western estimates suggest hundreds of thousands of killed and wounded.
