In November, Russia has taken control of 725 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory, mainly near the city of Pokrovsk. An area equivalent to the country of Singapore. This is shown by AFP's analysis of data from the think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine is a road and railway hub located in the Donetsk region and accounts for almost 90 percent of the Russian territorial gains in November.

The Ukrainian army now controls less than a third of the region compared to more than 40 percent on January 1 this year.

In recent weeks, Russian troops have claimed to have captured several places south and east of Pokrovsk and are now within five kilometers of the city.
