How it is calculated
A rough indicator, not an exact “price”. The losses are claimed by Ukraine’s General Staff without independent verification and cover the whole front, defence and strikes, not only the seizure of land. The area is net: land Ukraine liberated in 2022–2026 is already subtracted, so more was seized in total. The pre-2022 baseline is a rounded external figure measured in a different projection, so the error is a few per cent.
Personnel: the General Staff cumulative total from the current issue. Equipment: the General Staff total as of 07.10.2026 plus the daily increments from the losses timeline, so it updates with every issue. Area: DeepState’s “occupied” layer from the map block (including Crimea and ORDLO) minus the area occupied before 24.02.2022. It updates whenever the map snapshot is refreshed.
