From January through August of this year, our warriors of the Airborne Assault Forces and other units carried out an effective offensive operation in the Oleksandrivskyi sector. Thanks to the active operations of our troops, significant losses were inflicted on the occupation contingent. Russian losses amounted to at least 9,550 killed and more than 6,600 wounded. Ukraine’s “exchange fund” was also replenished.

Over the course of the operation, 745 square kilometers of territory were liberated. Twenty-six villages in the Dnipro, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions were returned to Ukrainian control. This offensive operation of ours was carried out with precision – exactly as planned.

Today, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi, Chief of the General Staff Ihor Skybiuk, and Commander of the Airborne Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleh Apostol reported on the results of these active operations and the next steps. I am proud of the courage of Ukrainian warriors! Glory to Ukraine!
