Ukraine's Operation Vivaldi retakes 16 settlements, 277 sq km in Lyman sector

Ukrainian forces reclaimed 277 square kilometers and 16 settlements in the Lyman sector of Donetsk as part of Operation Vivaldi, a counteroffensive that leveraged infiltration behind Russian lines, extensive drone use, and attacks on supply routes. The advance marks a notable territorial gain in a drone- and mine-dominated front, though the sustainability of the gains and Russian response remain uncertain. This is a continuation of Ukraine's counteroffensive efforts, but the scale of territorial recovery in a single operation is significant.
