Ukraine's Defence Forces have liberated three more settlements in the Donetsk region from Russian forces as part of the fourth phase of Operation Vivaldi, reclaiming an additional 101 square kilometres of territory.
The Third Army Corps has become the first Ukrainian military unit to deploy unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for mine clearance and support of assault operations as part of the offensive Operation Vivaldi.
Commander of the Third Army Corps, Brigadier General Andrii Biletskyi, said the main goal of Operation Vivaldi in the northern Donetsk region is to move Ukrainian forces to favorable defensive positions.
