Ukraine Launches Offensive Push in North of Donetsk Region, Senior Commander Says

Ukrainian commanders said drone and ground-robot strikes helped disrupt Russian logistics and neutralize about 20,000 drones during the offensive.

  • On September 15, Brigadier-General Andrii Biletskyi announced Operation Vivaldi, a Ukrainian counteroffensive in northern Donetsk that cleared 75 square kilometers of Russian positions and liberated the settlement of Serednie.
  • Designed to dismantle Russian 'infiltration tactics,' the operation aims to push back forces threatening the 'Fortress Belt' cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, disrupting Moscow's pincer strategy toward the region.
  • The 3rd Army Corps integrated unmanned ground vehicles and automated strike platforms ahead of infantry, while electronic warfare units disrupted more than 20,000 Russian drone missions during the operation.
  • Ukrainian forces liberated Shandryholove, Derylove, and Drobysheve, recovering 125 square kilometers total, while inflicting around 1,500 personnel losses on Russia's 20th and 25th Combined Arms Armies.
  • Biletskyi described the gains as only the first 'season' of a four-phase strategy, signaling sustained pressure through coming winter months as the operation continues in the Donbas.
