Daily combat clashes exceed 240 on the Ukrainian front, according to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Russian forces are primarily targeting the Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka regions. Ukrainian defense forces have successfully repelled most enemy attacks in these areas. Reports indicate Russian troops are concentrating their forces around Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, planning an encirclement.
However, Ukraine's Operation Vivaldi in the Lyman direction has disrupted these plans. Lieutenant General Ihor Romanenko, founder of the charitable foundation Close the Sky Over Ukraine, commented on the operation's success in knocking down Russia's offensive potential northeast of Sloviansk. Ukrainian soldiers described the liberation of the village Shandryholove in the Donetsk region, highlighting how drones cleared enemy shelters and Ukrainian infantry occupied a strongpoint without firing a shot.
Lieutenant General Romanenko also mentioned that the Russian army does not plan a direct offensive on Zaporizhzhia this winter. Instead, they may use small infantry groups in this area, but the Ukrainian Defense Forces already control the enemy's logistics routes and advance paths. The combat contact line is currently about 30 km from Zaporizhzhia, making infiltration difficult for the enemy.
The South troop grouping stated that unmanned systems detect Russian personnel in time, delivering fire damage. In the Zaporizhzhia region, near Huliaipole, Ukrainian defense forces continue to hold back enemy pressure by destroying personnel and equipment. FPV drone operators targeted a munitions warehouse in Huliaipole, causing a 152mm artillery shell detonation.
Yurii Fedorenko, commander of the 429th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade Achilles, emphasized the importance of controlling the enemy's logistics along the entire combat contact line in Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Kharkiv directions. Ukrainian defense forces control the air, striking enemy logistics routes with fuel trucks and military equipment.
