Ukraine retakes 50 sq km of territory in March, army chief says

Syrskyi said Ukrainian strikes hit 76 Russian military and oil-refining targets in March as forces pressed active defense across the front.

  • On Wednesday, Ukrainian Armed Forces Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi announced that Ukraine regained control of nearly 50 sq km of territory from Russia in March, building on gains since the start of the year.
  • Moscow has intensified offensive operations along the almost 1,200-km front line as weather conditions shifted, though Syrskyi said, "The Russian aggressor is suffering significant losses but is not abandoning its plans to seize Ukraine."
  • Deep Strike assets hit 76 targets in March, including 15 oil-refining facilities, while Russian army losses exceeded 35,000 personnel during the month.
  • Syrskyi identified Oleksandrivka, Kostiantynivka, and Lyman as "the hottest" spots during March, while fighting remained intense around Pokrovsk as Ukrainian counterattacks disrupted Russian efforts.
  • Ukraine has reclaimed 480 sq km since late January, with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy describing the frontline situation as the best since last year; "We must seize the strategic initiative, we are conducting active defense," Syrskyi stressed.
