According to Air Assault Forces commander Oleh Apostol, Ukrainian troops liberated more than 800 square kilometers of territory in two offensive operations. This information was shared during a meeting with journalists on November 12, in response to a question about the reliability of data on liberated territory. Apostol also mentioned that the methodology for counting the results of one of the operations was revised, as the initial figures for a stage of the operation were higher than the current ones.
The adjustment was made due to a change in the approach to accounting for areas where fighting was ongoing and where enemy presence was recorded. During the discussion, journalists emphasized the importance of distinguishing between territory under stable Russian control and areas where Russians had infiltrated in small groups.
