YLE – Visualizing Ukraine’s Recaptured Territory Compared to Southern Finland

YLE map compares Ukrainian territory reclaimed from Russian forces with Finland's Uusimaa region, showing the area relative to cities like Helsinki and Espoo. Based on data from the Institute for the Study of War and AEI.

This map from YLE (Yleisradio Oy) shows a yellow-shaded area representing territory Ukraine has recaptured from Russia, overlaid onto a portion of Southern Finland for spatial comparison. The overlay is centered around the capital Helsinki, extending over cities such as Espoo, Kerava, Lohja, Hyvinkää, and Porvoo.

The text box in Finnish reads: “Ukrainan valtamama alue verrattuna Uudenmaan alueeseen,” which translates to “Area recaptured by Ukraine compared to the Uusimaa region.” Circular dashed lines indicate distance scales: 30 km and 50 km from the center of Helsinki. The yellow overlay covers nearly the entirety of the Uusimaa region, suggesting the reclaimed area in Ukraine is roughly comparable in size to this major administrative region in Finland.
