Quote: "According to our map, the increase in occupied territory in June amounted to 84 sq km. Meanwhile, the [Ukrainian] defence forces' successes can hardly be fully reflected yet, and if we take into account how much our forces liberated last month, the enemy may end up with a negative figure for the second month in a row. Although the difference is small."
