The Bratstvo unit, part of the Timur Special Detachment of the Defense Intelligence, together with fighters from the russian Volunteer Corps, successfully carried out a combat operation in Donetsk region. The mission aimed to halt russian offensive actions in a sector that posed a threat to Ukrainian forces.
During the assault, Ukrainian fighters inflicted heavy losses on the enemy: more than 90 russian soldiers were eliminated, and five more were taken prisoner. This outcome demonstrates the high effectiveness of the joint effort and the coordination of actions on the battlefield.

A decisive role in the operation was played by operators of FPV and bomber drones. They carried out more than 400 combat sorties, delivering precise strikes on enemy personnel and equipment. Thanks to this, ground units received powerful fire support, expanding the tactical capabilities of Ukrainian forces.
Footage released by the reconnaissance group shows the intense combat work of the unit, highlighting not only the effectiveness of drone strikes but also the high skill level of Ukrainian drone operators. The video serves as further evidence of the shifting balance on the battlefield, where unmanned systems are increasingly determining the outcome of operations.
In addition to inflicting heavy losses on the enemy, the actions of Bratstvo unit stabilized the logistics of Ukrainian forces in their sector of responsibility. This prevented russian troops from advancing rapidly toward Dnipropetrovsk region, where a breakthrough was considered possible.
A notable detail of the operation was the discovery of so-called "flag-bearers", russian servicemen sent to hang russian flag on territory they did not actually control. These staged actions were intended to create propaganda footage and allow Moscow to falsely claim the capture of certain settlements.
According to the Defense Intelligence, all identified "flag-bearers" were either eliminated or taken prisoner. The operation once again confirmed that russian attempts to conduct information-psychological operations are met with firm resistance from Ukrainian reconnaissance fighters and their allies.
