Corrected re-post: In places where I used
the word 'land', I changed those to the
word 'territory' as that word describes
both the land & water areas of Ukraine.

Also, for comparison purposes, I've added
information on the United States (total
territory = 3,797,000 square miles) and
what the U.S. would've lost if 16.82% of
the U.S. (which = 638,655 square miles)
had been taken over by Russia which is
the Ukraine area that Russia has taken
over as of the end of September.

That would be like Russia taking over
every U.S. Atlantic coast & Gulf coast
state from Maine to Louisiana + the Dis-
trict of Columbia (Washington, D.C.) +
Vermont, Pennsylvania, & West Virginia
and also taking over Hawaii, a total of
638,471 square miles.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I
DESPISE THE METRIC SYSTEM, I DON'T
LIVE IN EUROPE, I LOVE MILES, SQUARE
MILES, and every last ounce & pound &
feet & mile of American measurements.

Call me an anti-metric American, but as
I've said before, I gag on the prevalence
of the metric system in most of the you-
tube realm (videos) & articles that pre-
tend that just because Europe is on the
metric system that everyone should act
as if America is too.

Give me a square mile over a square kilo-
meter any day of the week. The article
linked to above uses square kilometers
11 times in the text & countless times in
their graphics.

Ukraine has 233,090 square miles.

Crimea has 10,425 square miles, Russia
invaded & took it from Ukraine in 2014.

A month-by-month report on what Russia
has taken over & lost back to Ukraine since
their invasion in late February 2022:
https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2022/09/europe/russia-territory-control-ukraine-shift-dg/media/images/2-Russian_control_gain_loss_930px.png

February ... Russia took over 29,943 square miles from Ukraine
March ....... Russia took over 15,057 square miles from Ukraine
April .......... Ukraine took back 13,899 square miles from Russia
May ........... Russia took over 540 square miles from Ukraine
June .......... Russia took over 347 square miles from Ukraine
July ............ Russia took over 193 square miles from Ukraine
August ....... Russia took over 77 square miles from Ukraine
September . Ukraine took back 3,474 square miles from Russia

Total territory taken in Russia invasions:
10,425 + 29,943 + 15,047 + 540 + 347 + 193 + 77 = 56,572 square miles

Total territory taken back by Ukraine:
13,899 + 3,474 = 17,373 square miles

So, Russia has taken 56,573/233,090 = 24.27% of Ukrainian territory
Ukraine has taken back 17,373/56,573 = 30.7% of the territory that
Russia took from Ukraine

Russia now has 39,200/233,090 = 16.82% of Ukrainian territory.

Put another way, Ukraine has 83.18% of the territory they had
before Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 & before Russia invaded
the rest of Ukraine late in February 2022.

Follow-up 2:

24 dead after attack by retreating
Russian troops on civilian convoy
in the Kharkiv region on Sept 25th
https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20221001-ukraine-says-24-dead-after-attack-on-civilian-convoy

.... a convoy of seven cars that had been shot,
death toll at 24 including a pregnant woman &
13 children: "Russians fired on the civilians at
close range."

The article appears to have misspelled the actual
name of the village near Kupyansk, which from the
following map is Kurylivka, not Kyrylivka which is
a coastal town in southern Ukraine.
