A single striking photograph showing captured Russian troops huddled together in defeat has exposed the stark reality of the deepening crisis facing Russian president Vladimir Putin.
The latest operational update from Ukrainian commanders confirms that troops under the 3rd Army Corps have liberated five key settlements in the northern Donetsk region as part of a major push, codenamed Operation Vivaldi.
The rapid advance retook 20 square miles of territory in its latest phase alone, bringing total reclaimed land to roughly 68 square miles. The surge eliminated a major dangerous bulge in the front lines that Kremlin forces had spent months trying to build up to surround Ukrainian defenders.
