Konstantinovka Isolation Nears Completion, Pushilin Says
Denis Pushilin says Russian forces are isolating Konstantinovka as Ukrainian units face supply problems and limited chances for organized withdrawal.
Russian forces are gradually completing the isolation of Konstantinovka, DPR head Denis Pushilin said.
According to him, round-the-clock Russian reconnaissance is preventing Ukrainian units from organizing a withdrawal from the city or attempting a breakthrough. Pushilin said Ukrainian forces now have almost no chance to break out or leave Konstantinovka in an organized manner.
He also noted that, at this stage, almost no Ukrainian breakthrough attempts are being recorded. Russian assault units are currently clearing the southwestern part of the city, where scattered enemy groups remain.
Military channels report that Ukrainian units inside Konstantinovka are facing serious supply problems. Attempts by Ukrainian forces to withdraw from Alekseyevo-Druzhkovka have also been recorded. At the same time, Ukrainian troops continue to actively use large numbers of drones.
On the eastern flank, Russian forces are expanding their zone of control toward the lakes. On the western section, they are advancing toward Osykovo. Clearing operations are also underway in the forest belts between the Khrushchev Lakes and the Krivoy Torets River.
