Ukraine's Operation Vivaldi Liberates 3 More Settlements, Inflicts 2,000 Russian Losses, 3rd Army Corps Announces
The corps said Russian forces lost about 2,000 troops and more than 250 were captured during the offensive.
- On September 28, the Third Army Corps liberated five settlements including Nove, Ridkodub, and Katerynivka while regaining control of Karpivka and Novomykhailivka, reclaiming 51 square kilometers and bringing total Operation Vivaldi gains to 176 square kilometers.
- Third Army Corps Commander Brigadier General Andrii Biletskyi explained that Russians incorrectly anticipated attacks near Shandryholove-Zelena Dolyna, causing them to squander reserves while the actual strike successfully targeted Nove.
- To penetrate Russian defenses, the Third Army Corps deployed modified Soviet-era BTR-60 armored personnel carriers as robotic kamikaze systems. The Third Assault Brigade also deployed NC13 strike UGVs, known as "Gryphons," more than 10 kilometers behind enemy lines.
- During the operation, Russian occupiers lost 2,000 troops, with over 250 soldiers taken prisoner. The Third Army Corps reported entire Russian units, including officers, drone pilots, and artillery personnel, surrendered in groups.
- Ukrainian forces designated this phase as a turning point in Operation Vivaldi, following the clearing of 75 square kilometers during the first phase and establishing significant momentum on the bridgehead.
