Ukraine may have turned tide of Russian territorial gains, says think tank

Russia's military push into Ukraine appears to be losing momentum, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a leading think tank tracking the conflict. The ISW's assessment comes as Ukraine claims a significant blow to Moscow's army, with estimates suggesting over 35,000 Russian casualties in April alone. This staggering number, if confirmed, would mark a major setback for Vladimir Putin's military campaign, which has been plagued by logistical issues and stiff resistance from Ukrainian forces. As the war enters its second year, the slowdown in Russia's advance could be a crucial turning point in the conflict, with implications for the international community and the fate of Ukraine's sovereignty.
