Ukraine’s Third Army Corps is conducting a counteroffensive in northern Donetsk region, liberating 10 square kilometers and clearing 75 square kilometers of territory, according to a video address by corps commander Brigadier General Andrii Biletskyi. The operation, codenamed “Vivaldi,” has targeted Russian forces along the Lyman axis, including the communities of Novoselivka, Oleksandrivka, Yarova, and Korovyi Yar, as well as the town of Serednie. Biletskyi claimed Ukrainian forces had “dealt a devastating blow” to Russia’s 20th and 25th armies, with Russian losses including about 1,500 soldiers and over 12,000 drones, though the figures were not independently verified .
Meanwhile, Russia launched a mass drone and missile strike overnight, damaging an education facility in Kyiv and triggering air raid alerts across the country. Explosions rocked the capital at around 12:30 a.m. and again at 2:13 a.m., with ballistic missiles hitting the city center. A fire at a four-story higher education building in Kyiv’s Holosiivskyi district was extinguished, while additional strikes damaged warehouses and infrastructure in Kyiv Oblast’s Brovary and Fastivskyi districts .
A warehouse in Kyiv storing humanitarian aid for the Olena Zelenska Foundation was also destroyed in the strikes, burning generators, laptops, and medical equipment .

Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights: Oleshky has become a deadly trap, as Russia has once again ignored IHL norms and basic humanity. Due to a complete blockade and mining by Russian forces, a humanitarian catastrophe and outright starvation continue in the city. According to him, Ukraine had agreements with the Russian side, a list of people for evacuation, and clear protocols in place. Meanwhile, after the negotiations, the Russian side has long failed to confirm its readiness to carry out a humanitarian evacuation mission. Civilians face the threat of shelling and drone attacks daily, leaving them without food, drinking water, medicine, and other essential aid.
