According to the Presidentโs Office, Ukrainian units initially cleared around 75 square kilometers of territory of Russian infiltration during the operation. Through subsequent joint efforts by Ukraineโs Defense Forces, more than 125 square kilometers were brought back under Ukrainian control. The brigade also took part in retaking Korovyi Yar.
Speaking to the troops, Zelensky highlighted the importance of the Kharkiv and Izium sectors and thanked them for helping restore Ukrainian control over territory.
โPlease, take care of yourselves,โ Zelensky told the soldiers.
