Far from truth. Overall, a bland, uninspiring pro-Ukrainian propaganda piece you posted there, but the fragment I just highlighted deserves special attention.

Russian forces never stopped capturing new territories in Donbass since the onset of Avdeevka battle in October 2023. November and December 2024 were Ukraine’s worst months since September 2022, and January 2025 pretty close. All in all, Russian advances in Ukraine grew seven-fold in 2024.

Speaking about much-hyped Kursk incursion area, Russians managed to recapture a good half of it since August. The rest may be traded back during peace talks.
