Russian advance in eastern Ukraine slowed in January — British intelligence
Russian troops' advance in Ukraine slowed in January, with about 320 square kilometers occupied, British intelligence reported on Feb. 7 .
Russia has taken control of the Velyka Novosilka stronghold, though progress along most of the front line has been relatively slow, according to a British intelligence report.
The report also highlighted that Russia's advance accelerated throughout 2024, with over 700 square kilometers captured by November, marking one of the fastest rates of territorial gain since the conflict began.
Additionally, in Kursk Oblast, Russia made minor advances in January 2025, while North Korean troops temporarily withdrew from the front line.
The report speculates that this pullback was likely due to heavy losses suffered during attacks on Ukrainian positions, with the North Korean units expected to rest and re-equip before redeployment.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
