This was the situation after 1 month (and really mostly like the first 3 days):
Since then Ukraine retook the entire north (rolled the Russians back 100%), much of east-north (the Kharkiv axis, where they almost got to the border but not quite, lifted the siege anyway), and some of east-south (advancing slowly to the Dnepr along the coast).
While Russia finally took Mariupol, and made local advances in east-center (northern section) towards Kramatorsk. Still didn't even take Avdiivka just west of Donetsk city, a small "Verdun" where the Ukrainians have digged down already years ago.
In almost 4 months.
