Ukraine has retaken 745 sq km in 'precision' operation this year, Zelenskyy says
Zelensky said Ukrainian forces also killed at least 9,550 Russian troops and wounded more than 6,600 during the operation.
- On Wednesday, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Ukrainian forces liberated 745 square km and 26 settlements this year, describing the southeastern offensive as "carried out with precision — exactly as planned."
- Ukraine's General Staff released drone footage on Wednesday showing the 93rd Kholodnyi Yar Separate Mechanized Brigade raising flags along the approximately 60 km stretch where Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia meet.
- DeepState reports suggest much of the area remains in a "grey zone," while Reuters noted it could not independently verify Zelensky's control figures.
- To heap pressure on Moscow, Ukrainian forces have counterattacked across the 1,200-km front; analysts say Russian battlefield advances have slowed this year despite efforts to capture key eastern cities.
- Moscow continues demanding that Kyiv cede the remainder of the industrialized Donetsk region, a condition officials there refuse to accept, creating the primary obstacle to any potential ceasefire.
