The Third Army Corps of Ukraine, under the command of Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky, is not only holding the line against Russia but is beginning to push back Kremlin forces by 12.5% of the front it controls. The British newspaper Independent devoted an article to the corps. The publication notes that the corps’ success in defending Lyman is of strategic importance for the most important fortress cities of the Donetsk region – Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. In March 2026, Russian forces attempted to break through to Liman, but the Third Corps turned the assault into a failure within four hours. The Third Assault Brigade, which is part of the corps along with the other four brigades, operates along the 150-kilometer front line in the areas of eastern Ukraine that "Putin wants most." The Independent calls Andriy Biletsky one of Ukraine’s most ambitious and successful military commanders. In March 2026, the SBU foiled a Russian assassination attempt on the general, who would have been a "special prize" for Putin. In 2014, he founded and became the first commander of Azov, with which he liberated Mariupol and other cities in the Donetsk region. "Azov has thrived thanks to its battlefield successes in containing Vladimir Putin’s army’s initial incursions into Ukraine, when Kyiv’s forces were sclerotic, riddled with Russian sympathizers, and poorly led," the article states. In 2022, Biletsky formed a new unit, which became the Third Assault Brigade—the most effective and largest in the Armed Forces. It currently has approximately 10,000 service members, twice as many as a regular brigade. Of these, 90% are volunteers. Biletsky called ground-based drones the key to the future of warfare. He believes that 40% of frontline battles will soon be fought by remotely controlled combat vehicles equipped with machine guns and anti-tank weapons. Russian forces are trying to capture the Donetsk region, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine are disrupting enemy plans and conducting successful counterattacks, Deputy Head of Presidential Office, General Pavlo Palisa, said. "Russians have repeatedly publicly stated their demands to Ukraine regarding various concessions, while combining all this with threats, some timelines, deadlines, and so on," Palisa said. According to him, historically, Russians always resort to such negotiating tactics at a moment when they themselves feel that not everything is going well. "If we take purely military component, then in the near future they will not be able to reach the administrative borders of the Donetsk region. For example, if we take statistics across the entire front line over the past year, this is on average about 120 killed and wounded enemy per occupied square kilometer of our territory," the Deputy Head of the Presidential Office added. He stressed that the main strike direction – last year it was Pokrovsk direction – they had about 160 killed and wounded per square kilometer of captured territory. It is also worth separately highlighting statistics for the first quarter of 2026 within the Donetsk region – starting partly from the Lyman direction and to the south – up to Oleksandrivsk direction. As of now, per one occupied square kilometer in the Donetsk region, they have 316 killed and wounded. That is, comparing the main strike directions last year and today, there is an increase of almost two times. And their average losses along the line of contact in Donbas have increased almost three times.
"So you can draw your own conclusions about what kind of success they have in the Donetsk direction and at what cost. Their advance is minimal. Tactical successes in several areas are very symbolic. There are no operational ones at all. So they are actually detached from reality," Palisa concluded. At the same time, he noted that, of course, the situation at the front is currently difficult, and all listed results are, first of all, the merit of Ukrainian soldiers.
