Since the counter-offensive started, the armed forces of Ukraine have liberated 130 square kilometers from Russian occupiers in the south.

According to Malia, the situation has remained rather unchanged in the southern direction over the past week. Ukraine's defense forces continue the counter-offensive operation in the Melitopol and Burdiansk sectors. Over the past week, following the improvement in the operational tactical position and the aligning of the front line, the deoccupied area has expanded by 17 square kilometers. In general, since the counter-offensive started, the liberated territory in the south has reached 130 square kilometers, Malia noted. In the Tabrya direction, the enemy attacked Ukrainian positions 148 times last week. A total of 3,861 strikes were recorded. Ukraine's missile and artillery units completed 8,783 fire missions in the Tabrya direction last week. According to Malia, Russian invaders are putting up strong resistance but suffering significant personnel and military equipment losses. Over the past week, the enemy's losses have been 8 times higher than ours. Malia stressed. Last week, Ukraine's air force missile and artillery units launched more than 110 strikes on Russian personnel clusters, destroyed 17 enemy air defense missile systems, hit 11 command posts and 7 ammunition depots. Additionally, the Ukrainian military destroyed hundreds of enemy military equipment units including two Ka-52 attack helicopters, one Mi-24 helicopter and 48 out of 51 Iranian produced Shahad 131-136 drones.
