MTV Oy – Russia’s Expanding Control in Ukraine, a Map Analysis

A studio broadcast setting shows two presenters standing beside a large map of Ukraine, marked with territorial control areas. The map highlights Ukrainian cities including Kyiv, Odessa, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Kherson. Russia’s occupied territories are shaded in three colors: red for areas under Russian control at present, yellow for territories held in March 2022, and striped red for Crimea, annexed in 2014. The map extends into neighboring countries Moldova and Russia (Venäjä in Finnish). A legend in the lower-right corner explains the color coding, with sources listed as ISW, BBC, and CNN. The presenters frame the map, discussing developments in the war.
