Ukraine Launches Offensive Push in North of Donetsk Region, Senior Commander Says
The counteroffensive reportedly killed about 1,500 Russian personnel and destroyed more than 12,000 drones, Biletskyi said.
- On Tuesday, September 15, Third Army Corps Commander Andrii Biletskyi announced a Ukrainian counteroffensive in northern Donetsk, clearing 75 square kilometers and regaining control of several settlements.
- The Ukrainian military named this effort Operation Vivaldi, referencing Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, as the operation follows recent Ukrainian advances across multiple frontline sectors.
- Ukrainian troops cleared the settlements of Novoselivka, Oleksandrivka, Yarova, and Serednie, alongside the outskirts of Korovyi Yar, while conducting operations under strict information silence.
- Russian forces lost around 1,500 personnel and more than 12,000 drones during the operation, as Biletskyi said it dealt a "heavy blow" to the 20th and 25th Combined Arms Armies.
- The operation aims to reach the banks of the Chornyi Zherebets River, following an ISW assessment on September 12 that Ukrainian forces reversed much of Russia's territorial gains made since March 2026.
