Ukraine's SBU summarized a 40-day campaign against Russian assets, while tactical units conducted covert evacuations, captured POWs, and destroyed long-range assault columns.

Ukraine's Security Service reported significant outcomes from a 40-day strategic campaign designed to force Russia into negotiations, claiming the destruction or damage of more than 21,000 military assets and infrastructure targets alongside nearly 5,000 Russian casualties.

Meanwhile, specialized tactical units executed targeted operations behind and along the frontlines. The Ukrainian Navy's "Angels" special reconnaissance team evacuated relatives of a Ukrainian military officer from Russian-occupied territory to neutralize surveillance and pressure from Russian security services. Separately, Special Operations Forces captured two sleeping Russian soldiers during a stealth mission to replenish the prisoner exchange fund. In Zaporizhzhia, the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade stated that Ukrainian reconnaissance regularly detects and destroys Russian assault columns up to 10 kilometers before they reach defensive positions.
