Ukrainian special forces from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry demonstrated remarkable skill and tactical expertise by halting the advance of Russian troops in the Donetsk region.

This action has become a crucial element in stabilizing the situation on the front line and maintaining strategic positions.

The “Brotherhood” unit, composed of the “Timur Special Unit” and supported by their allies from RDK, carried out a successful combat operation, which they regarded as a significant milestone in regional defense.

According to the GUR official Telegram channel, during this operation, Ukrainian troops managed to eliminate more than 90 Russian invaders and captured five others.

Additionally, utilizing modern drone technology—including FPV and bombers—Ukrainian soldiers launched over 400 combat sorties, providing vital support to ground forces and effectively destroying key enemy targets.

The events showcase that the high efficiency was driven by rapid intelligence gathering and swift reaction, which helped stabilize Ukrainian logistics in the critical sector of the front and prevented the enemy’s swift advancement toward the borders of Dnipropetrovsk region.

During the operation, Ukrainian forces also identified and neutralized Russian “flag-bearers” attempting to publicly display tricolors for propaganda photos.

All these Russian military personnel were either killed or captured, further emphasizing the success of the counteroffensive.

Previously, GUR had reported the use of a Ukrainian sea drone in the Novorossiysk Bay, which destroyed five elite Russian divers, demonstrating the high effectiveness of Ukraine’s reconnaissance assets.
