Ukrainian Forces Advance in Donbas Under Operation Vivaldi Amid Starlink Limits

Ukraine's Operation Vivaldi counter-offensive has liberated 277 square kilometers in the eastern Donbas region, according to Kyiv's military reports.

The campaign has inflicted 8,000 Russian casualties in Vivaldi and nearly 50,000 along the front in September, while successfully blunting a Russian pincer movement.

Ukraine expressed concern after the White House reportedly restricted the military Starshield satellite communications network without warning as the operation concluded.
