Ukrainian units remain motivated and combat-ready.

Russian Z-blogger Yuri Kotenok acknowledged the effectiveness of the operations carried out by the 3rd Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine under the command of Andriy Biletsky and stated that the occupiers should adopt the Ukrainian approach to combat.

Ukrainian journalist and military officer Yuriy Butusov drew attention to his post .

Kotenok noted that Ukrainian units remain motivated and combat-ready, are well-trained, have reliable communications, and coordinate their actions effectively. According to him, this was confirmed by the offensive operations of Ukrainian forces in the Lyman direction as part of Operation “Vivaldi.”

Among the 3rd Corps’ key professional strengths, the propagandist highlighted the coordination between drones, assault, and mechanized units, the skillful use of reserves, and the mobility of small assault groups. He also noted the support provided to ground units by heavy drones such as the “Baba Yaga” and FPV drones, which swiftly strike enemy positions.

Kotenok described these tactics as a combination of classical military science and modern technology and stated that the Russian army should not disregard the Ukrainian experience. Butusov, meanwhile, added that this assessment contrasts with Vladimir Putin’s public statements about the “successes” of Russian troops on all fronts.
