#Operation Vivaldi

According to ISW, Operation Vivaldi turned the tide at the front: the Ukrainian Armed Forces reached the Zherebets River, disrupted the Russian encirclement plan, and forced the enemy to suffer heavy losses.

The Third Army Corps of the AFU continues the successful Operation Vivaldi in the Donetsk region. The third season has seen several villages liberated and about 250 Russians captured.

The Third Army Corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces air-dropped ground kamikaze robots from strike UAVs 'Griffin' 15 km into the enemy's rear for the first time in the world during the 'Vivaldi' operation. The first attempt failed, but a repeat drop on the same day destroyed a Russian logistics hub.

Deputy Commander of the Third Army Corps Pyotr Horbatenko reported the clearing of a number of settlements in northern Donetsk region during Operation "Vivaldi". According to him, Russian losses exceed expectations, and some liberated villages are not disclosed for tactical reasons.

Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky stated that the "northern pincer" of Russian forces in Donbas has effectively been crushed during Operation Vivaldi. In his words, Ukraine should expect "good news" following the offensive.
