[Korrespondent] Ukrainian defenders cleared the villages of Mykhailivka, Zeleny Gai and Volodymyrivka in Donetsk Oblast of Russians.

As of August 24, the Defense Forces counterattacked Russian troops in Donetsk region. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky.

"I work in combat zones. The Pokrovsk direction is where it is most difficult. Where the defense of Ukrainian Independence and the Ukrainian Flag is not just high words, but a daily risk and a daily feat," the commander-in-chief said.

He listened to the reports of the corps and brigade commanders on the operational situation, noting that the situation was indeed difficult, since the enemy had concentrated its main efforts on this section of the front. He also spoke with servicemen of the 25th Airborne, 68th Jaeger, 32nd and 155th Mechanized Brigades.

Syrsky assured that assistance in organizing military operations will be provided. Also, according to him, issues regarding additional ammunition, drones and electronic warfare equipment have been resolved.

"Our troops successfully counterattacked and cleared villages in Donetsk region of the enemy - Mykhailivka, Zelenyi Gai, Vladimirovka," the general reported.

Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukrainian military personnel have achieved positive results in the Donetsk region.

He stated this during a press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The head of state noted that Ukrainian defenders have "very good results" in long-range strikes, and also announced positive news on the results of the work of the Defense Forces in Donetsk region.

"And on Independence Day, I would also like to thank our soldiers. They have very good results in long-range strikes, everyone sees this. Today we have very, very positive results in Donbas. Good surprises for the Russians," Zelensky said.

Let us recall that the Brotherhood unit, together with the RDK, stopped the advance of Russian troops in Donetsk region, destroying more than 90 occupiers.

Let us recall that in Luhansk region, as a result of an explosion, three Russian servicemen who took direct part in committing war crimes in Bucha, Kiev region, were killed.
