Ukrainian counteroffensive operation
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported several weeks ago that Ukrainian forces had launched a counteroffensive on the Dobropillia direction. According to him, Russian troops had attempted to concentrate their main forces for advancement there but failed, allowing Ukrainian defenders to go on the counterattack.
On September 29, Syrskyi stated that the area liberated as a result of the counteroffensive near Dobropillia reached about 175 sq. km.
Earlier, Syrskyi noted that Ukrainian forces had advanced 3 to 7 km into Russian defenses in the Dobropillia direction. During the counteroffensive, Ukrainian troops managed to liberate seven settlements along the front in this area.
