Ukrainian Special Forces Continue Covert Operations Amid Ongoing Conflict

Despite setbacks and harsh winter conditions, Ukraine's elite unit, Center 73, persists in reclaiming territory seized by Russia.

Ukrainian special forces, known as Center 73, have been conducting covert operations to reclaim territory seized by Russia in the ongoing conflict.
Center 73's mission includes frontline scouting, drone operations, and underwater sabotage, with a focus on quality over quantity due to their smaller numbers.
In June, a dam explosion, allegedly caused by Russia, disrupted the Ukrainian forces' plans to cross the Dnipro River and reclaim the occupied south.
Despite setbacks, Center 73 has had some successes, including the capture of a group of Russian soldiers who surrendered and provided valuable intelligence.
However, as winter sets in, Ukrainian forces face challenges due to freezing temperatures and being vastly underequipped compared to the Russians.
