Am I correct in seeing that Ukraine has not liberated any of the pre-2014 Russian held Donetsk Oblast? With its more numerous towns and cities, Donetsk does look like a trickier province to crack.

The very last part of the video shows the capture of a Russian drone. What is the device used by the Ukrainians and how does it work?

EDMS4 Sky Wiper provided to Ukraine by Lithuania:



Basically, it's a man-portable jammer to disrupt either the control link to the UAV and/or the navigation system (probably disrupting the GPS receiver).
