According to Euromaidan Press, Ukrainian forces in Donbas have retaken 277 square kilometers and inflicted losses on 8,000 Russian troops. Ukraine's Third Army Corps said the four "seasons" of its "Vivaldi" operation are complete.

Ukrainian forces in Donbas, where Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine continues, have retaken 277 square kilometers of territory and inflicted losses on 8,000 Russian troops. Euromaidan Press reports that these results prevent Russia from outflanking Ukraine's fortified cities in the region.
Ukraine's Third Army Corps announced that the four seasons of "Vivaldi" are complete. The corps added that "the music continues" and said goodbye with the words "until we meet again." The wording suggests that "Vivaldi" is the name of an operation or of its stages.
The available source text gives no further details on where the territory was retaken, over what period, or how the Russian losses were calculated. Those points therefore cannot be confirmed or clarified here. The figures come from the information in the headline of the publication.
