"As a result of active and decisive actions of units of the Sever battlegroup, control has been established over the village of Miropolye in Sumy region," the ministry said in a daily bulletin.
Ukraine lost over 310 soldiers in combat against Russia's Vostok battlegroup, up to 250 soldiers were eliminated by Russia's Sever battlegroup, up to 275 by the Tsentr battlegroup
Up to 200 Ukraine's servicemen were neutralized by the Zapad battlegroup, up to 120 by the Yug battlegroup, and over 40 by the Dnepr battlegroup
Russian forces also struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure facilities used by its armed forces. Drone assembly and launch sites were also damaged
Russian air defense systems downed 505 fixed-wing drones, five guided aerial bombs, and two US-made HIMARS rockets
The coordinated pressure across multiple Russian battlegroups has led to a measurable collapse in Ukrainian defensive cohesion along the northern frontier.
By systematically dismantling both forward staging areas and rear energy nodes, Russian forces have effectively crippled Ukraine's ability to sustain drone operations and rotate fresh reserves to the front.
