Ukraine Says It Frees More Territory in Donetsk Region Counteroffensive

The counteroffensive has also disrupted Russian plans to threaten Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, while forcing Moscow to redeploy units, Biletskyi said.

  • On Wednesday, Ukraine said it liberated 16 villages in the Donetsk region, according to senior commander Gen. Andrii Biletskyi, marking a significant frontline pushback amid increased Russian air attacks.
  • Kyiv's Third Army Corps launched operation 'Vivaldi' last month to dislodge Russian troops from the strategic 'fortress belt' north of Sloviansk, aiming to seize ground initiative from Russia.
  • Recent assaults liberated three additional villages, bringing total freed territory to 277 square kilometers located 30 km north of Sloviansk.
  • In a video address, Biletskyi stated the Kremlin's plan to seize Donetsk and Luhansk will not be implemented in the foreseeable future, directly challenging Russian territorial ambitions.
  • Russia has demanded Ukraine cede 20 percent of Donetsk region it controls before ending conflict, though Russian battlefield gains have slowed this year amid Ukrainian tactical advances.
