Russian Troops Take Molocharka Near Konstantinovka

Russian troops took positions in Molocharka near Konstantinovka as reports point to a wider push toward operational encirclement and supply-route control.

Russian units advancing near Konstantinovka have established positions in the settlement of Molocharka, military correspondent Timofey Ermakov reported on his Telegram channel.

According to Ermakov, the advance is taking place northeast of Konstantinovka. He said the movement is supported not only by operational reports, but also by objective monitoring data from the opposing side.

Sources say Russian troops have taken positions inside residential areas of Molocharka. The advance east of Konstantinovka is reported to have exceeded two kilometers.

Ermakov assessed the consolidation in Molocharka as a sign that Russian forces are expanding their envelopment of Konstantinovka. In his view, this could become a step toward the city’s effective operational encirclement, with control over its sole supply route emerging as the key objective.

Earlier reports said Russian fighters had managed to disrupt the supply of Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the northeastern part of Konstantinovka.
