Ukrainian forces conducted a successful mini-counteroffensive in the southern Zaporizhzhia sector, liberating approximately 400 square kilometers of territory. The operation involved small teams of highly trained assault infantry who encircled and captured or destroyed isolated Russian units.

A successful Ukrainian mini-counteroffensive still in progress in the southern sector took advantage of Russian troop demoralization in February, liberating about 400 square kilometers (154 square miles) of lost ground.

Ukrainian command concentrated forces including airborne brigades and assault regiments and launched a counterstrike at the junction between Russia's 29th and 36th armies.
