Russian forces continue advancing on different parts of the фронт despite harsh weather conditions. One of these areas is the Konstantinovka direction.

Reports say Russian troops have taken control of a new section of territory in Konstantinovka, reaching the Dolgenkaya River near the Metallurg Stadium.

As a result, the northern and northeastern flanks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces defense near the city’s central railway station in Konstantinovka are reported to have been broken up.

According to the reports, Russian actions have placed enemy units in an operational «pincer» in the кварталы from Nezalezhnosti Street to Kostyushko Street and Minskaya Street. The opposing forces reportedly still have a route out through the frozen Dolgenkaya River, but strikes are said to be coming from three directions, and AFU losses in this area are reported to be increasing.

Earlier, Russian forces reportedly reached the northern flank of Konstantinovka, taking control of a significant part of the village of Novodmitrovka.
