The Russian Chief of General Staff provided incorrect information, exaggerating Russian victories this year.
Chief of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov significantly exaggerated the data on the territory of Ukraine occupied by the Russian army in 2024. This is stated in a report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW)
“The Chief of the Russian General Staff, Army General Valery Gerasimov, significantly inflated the alleged statistical data on Russian territorial achievements in 2024,” the analysts said.
In particular, on December 18, Gerasimov said that Russian troops had captured approximately 4,500 square kilometers in 2024. However, ISW found confirmation of the capture of only 3,306 square kilometers.
