Ukraine Launches Offensive Push in North of Donetsk Region, Senior Commander Says
The corps said the operation cut Russian supply routes and fuel sites while forcing Moscow’s forces out of several settlements.
- On September 15, Ukraine's 3rd Army Corps, led by Brigadier-General Andrii Biletskyi, launched Operation Vivaldi in northern Donetsk, clearing 75 square kilometers of Russian infiltration positions and recapturing 10 square kilometers including the settlement of Serednie.
- Designed to counter Russian infiltration tactics, the offensive disrupts Moscow's plan to encircle the so-called 'Fortress Belt' of cities including Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, which have anchored Ukraine's defense in Donetsk since 2022.
- The corps pioneered air-dropping ground robotic systems, with heavy bomber drones delivering kamikaze vehicles more than 10 kilometers into Russian rear areas to strike logistics and command nodes while protecting infantry.
- Over two phases, the operation has recovered 125 square kilometers, de-occupying 50 square kilometers, while inflicting more than 3,000 casualties on Russian forces and degrading capabilities of the 20th and 25th Combined Arms Armies.
- Named for Antonio Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons,' the operation will span four planned phases, with Biletskyi indicating the current territorial gains represent only the first two, promising further developments ahead.

The success of the Ukrainian counterattack in the Donbas, where the Russians are currently being driven back at a rapid pace near the city of Lyman, is partly due to a sophisticated Ukrainian intelligence campaign designed to mislead the Russians.
