Commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ 3rd Army Corps, Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky, reported the liberation of five more settlements in the Lyman direction as part of the third stage of Operation “Vivaldi.”

As Ukraine gradually lifts OPSEC restrictions, information about the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ advance is being officially confirmed — information that, overall, was known three weeks ago.

So the most important news here is that Ukraine captured 250 Russian soldiers, including officers, pilots, and artillerymen.

“The cinematic ‘Russians don’t surrender’ has in practice turned into entire units surrendering in full strength, including officers, pilots, and artillerymen,” Andriy Biletsky.

Yesterday, head of the OPU Kyrylo Budanov said that a major prisoner exchange is being prepared. Ukrainian defenders will return home, including thanks to the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ 3rd Army Corps.
