FLOSSI AGREES NATO UMBRELLA FOR UKRAINE

As of November 29, 2024, Russia occupies approximately 18% of Ukraine's territory, encompassing parts of the following regions:

• Crimea: Annexed by Russia in 2014, the Crimean Peninsula remains under Russian control.

• Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts: Collectively known as the Donbas region, these areas have experienced significant conflict since 2014. Russia declared the annexation of these territories in September 2022, but does not fully control them.

• Kherson and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts: In 2022, Russian forces occupied portions of these southern regions. Despite declaring annexation, Russia does not have complete control over these areas.

The front lines remain dynamic, with ongoing military operations leading to changes in territorial control. Recent reports indicate that Russian forces have made rapid advances in eastern Ukraine, capturing significant territory in regions such as Donetsk and Luhansk.

It's important to note that the international community, including the United Nations, does not recognize Russia's annexation of these Ukrainian territories.
