The fourth season of Operation "Vivaldi": Biletskyi announced the capture of another 101 km²
"The Third Army Corps and attached units liberated another three settlements—Zelena Dolyna, Lypove, and Kolodiazi—Brigadier General Andrii Biletskyi said in his address. During the fourth stage of "Vivaldi," the enemy lost approximately 3,000 soldiers, while Ukraine regained 101 km² of territory."
As reported by the corps, "the operation, which began with the elimination of Russian infiltration, developed into a rapid and large-scale offensive. The disoriented occupiers began losing control over their units, where genuine chaos broke out."
"We did not allow the enemy to outflank the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration and trap it in a pincer, and we also protected the Kharkiv–Sloviansk highway. The enemy was unable to cut the key logistical artery of our grouping in Donbas. We disrupted the offensive of the ‘West’ grouping and forced it to redeploy part of the units of the 1st Tank Army, which eased the pressure on Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi," Andrii Biletskyi said.
Over the entire course of the operation, we returned 16 settlements to Ukraine's full control and liberated 277 km². The enemy's losses amount to 8,000 Russian soldiers
"The four seasons of "Vivaldi" are complete. But the music continues," the Third Army Corps emphasized.
