The corps confirmed the operation in a <a href=\"https:\/\/unn.ua\/en\/news\/third-army-corps-claims-control-over-occupiers-logistics-in-luhansk-region\">statement<\/a> carried by UNN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">&#8220;In response to the enemy&#8217;s claims of the alleged total capture of the Luhansk region, we are announcing an operation to control logistical routes in the Luhansk region and Eastern Slobozhanshchyna. Luhansk, Starobilsk, Alchevsk, Brianka, Kadiivka \u2013 from now on, all of this is under the close supervision and control of the UAVs of the Third Army Corps,&#8221; stated corps commander Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The deep raid was planned and executed by the &#8220;Z Kaifom&#8221; strike wing platoon, a battalion of unmanned systems belonging to the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Third Army Corps. During the operation, fighters destroyed and damaged armoured vehicles and trucks carrying ammunition on the enemy&#8217;s critically important logistical routes. The operation was developed and led by strike UAV platoon commander Hero of Ukraine Oleksandr &#8220;Skhid&#8221; Ivantsov, who in 2022 parachuted into besieged Mariupol and, following the completion of its defence, made his way back to Ukrainian controlled territory on his own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">&#8220;Luhansk, Starobilsk, Brianka, Alchevsk \u2013 these are our native cities. From now on, they will not be a safe rear for the enemy. We, the fighters of the unmanned systems battalion of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, officially declare: there are no more safe places for the occupiers in the Luhansk region. We will find and destroy you everywhere \u2013 even at the Izvaryne checkpoint and other sections of the border,&#8221; Ivantsov emphasised.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The entire crew that carried out the strikes at the border consists exclusively of natives of the Luhansk region, as does a significant portion of the unit. They are currently liberating their home region using modern technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">Russian Logistics Adjustments on the Novorossiya Highway<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The Russian command has introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/unn.ua\/en\/news\/russians-change-logistics-on-the-novorossiya-highway-due-to-losses-from-ukrainian-drones-atesh\">new rules<\/a> for transporting military cargo on the R-280 Novorossiya highway following significant losses from Ukrainian drone strikes, according to the ATESH partisan movement, which cited its agent within one of the units of the Russian Dnipro grouping of forces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Under the new orders, convoys must move primarily at night or during unfavourable weather conditions, maintain a speed of at least 120 kilometres per hour, and include a third serviceman equipped with a UAV detector in every vehicle. Additionally, the occupiers have begun to use civilian trucks more actively to disguise military transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">ATESH reported that observers with drone detectors for escorting convoys are being recruited directly from frontline positions. Scarce electronic warfare systems are also being redeployed there, weakening the protection of units on the front line against Ukrainian drones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">According to the movement&#8217;s agent, the Russian military themselves criticise such decisions, as most Ukrainian drones utilise Starlink satellite communications, which are resistant to the mobile electronic warfare systems available to the Russian Federation. ATESH stated that all collected information has already been handed over to the Defence Forces of Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1496-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/unn.ua\/video\/2026\/05\/31\/1780230783-3868.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/unn.ua\/video\/2026\/05\/31\/1780230783-3868.mp4\">https:\/\/unn.ua\/video\/2026\/05\/31\/1780230783-3868.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(KYIV, UKRAINE) \u2013 Ukrainian medium range strike operations against Russian ground lines of communication are disrupting enemy logistics across the entire theatre of operations, from occupied Luhansk region to Crimea, according to a new assessment by the Institute for the Study of War.
