Ukraine is slowing Russia down and clawing back ground in key areas, war experts say. Here's how it's finding fresh win

Ukrainian forces have been substantially slowing Russia's advance and are seeing fresh battlefield gains not achieved in years, warfare experts said.

"The Ukrainians are gaining more ground," George Barros, a conflict analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington DC-based think tank, told Business Insider.

"Notably, in February, the Ukrainians liberated more territory in the theater than the Russians seized," he said.

"The last time we had seen Ukrainian forces make more ground than the Russian forces seized was in 2023" during its large but limited counteroffensive, he said. "This is new."
