"Mapping the Frontlines: Ukraine's Conflict Continues into 2024"

As 2024 begins, the war in Ukraine persists with no significant changes in the front lines despite ongoing battles. Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his New Year address, avoided direct reference to the conflict but expressed support for Russian troops. Ukraine's 2023 counteroffensive has not achieved a breakthrough, and the country is preparing for a difficult winter. The Institute for the Study of War maps indicate heavy losses for Russian forces, particularly the elite VDV units, and fighting continues in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions. Despite setbacks, Ukrainian forces have made small gains, maintaining footholds across the Dnieper River.
