“This week alone, our soldiers liberated 776 square kilometers of territory in the east and 29 communities, six of them in the Luhansk region. In total, 2,434 square kilometers of our territory and 96 communities have already been liberated since the start of this operation,” Zelensky said in his daily message.
The Ukrainian army has recaptured nearly 2,500 square kilometers of territory controlled by Russian forces in the latest counteroffensive launched at the end of September, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced tonight.
“This week alone, our soldiers liberated 776 square kilometers of territory in the east and 29 communities, six of them in the Luhansk region. In total, 2,434 square kilometers of our territory and 96 communities have already been liberated since the start of this operation,” Zelensky said in his daily message.
In recent days, the Ukrainian army has achieved significant victories in the Kharkiv region, in the northeast, but also in the south, near Kherson, a city controlled by the Russians. In mid-September Zelensky reported that the army had recaptured about 6,000 square kilometers in its first counteroffensive in early September.
The Ukrainian armed forces announced in early September that they were launching a counteroffensive in the south and then in the Kharkiv region bordering Russia, forcing Russian soldiers to retreat to other positions. Today, Russian forces claimed victory in eastern Ukraine after back-to-back, painful defeats on several fronts, but Kyiv called on Russian soldiers to choose to surrender.
