Ukraine stands to gain as Russia's offensive falters. Coverage from the Institute for the Study of War indicates that Russia lost ground in September. The Kyiv Post and UNITED24 Media report that Ukraine has regained nearly 300 square kilometers since March.

This recovery is attributed to Ukraine's counteroffensive efforts. english.nv.ua also notes that Russian advances dropped to negative rates in September, indicating a significant reversal of fortunes for Russia. Coverage of the exact locations of Russian advances and withdrawals remains thin. The EUobserver provides an overview of the front, comparing where Russian maps place the occupiers to where they actually are.

However, the extent of Russian losses and the implications for the conflict remain unclear.
