Russia retook control of the remaining 358km² of Kursk, while Ukraine has captured 11.88km² of Belgorod. This results in a total combined net Russian gain for the month of 618.84km², the third highest in the past year. This chart shows monthly net changes in control over the past year.

These 4 charts show how control has changed in the 4 most active oblasts. Other occupied oblasts have had minimal or no changes to control.
