Ukrainian forces stop Russian advance in Donetsk region, eliminate over 90 soldiers

Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate reports.

During the assault, over 90 Russian soldiers were killed, and five more were captured. Additional support was provided by FPV drone and bomber drone operators, who carried out over 400 combat sorties.

“Thanks to the effective actions of the intelligence units, we managed to stabilize the logistics of the Defense Forces in their area of responsibility and prevent the enemy from quickly advancing toward the borders of the Dnipropetrovsk region,” the Main Intelligence Directorate noted.

The military also neutralized several groups of so-called flag bearers — Russian fighters tasked with planting tricolors for propaganda claims of “territory capture.” Some were killed, and the rest surrendered.

• Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate conducted a special operation in the Black Sea, through which it eliminated five elite Russian divers in Novorossiysk Bay.
