Russian forces are pushing deeper into Konstantinovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic, relying heavily on infantry, according to the Ukrainian-linked analytical platform Deep State (DS).

The group reports that the most intense activity is concentrated in the private housing sector on the city’s southeastern outskirts. This area is becoming increasingly volatile as Russian units continue to build up their presence and fortify positions, creating conditions for further advances into the city-something DS says is already underway.

At the same time, Russian troops are moving along the eastern edge near the village of Novodmitrovka and have begun entering the settlement.

Pressure is also mounting on the southwestern approaches to Konstantinovka, particularly around Berestok and Ilyinovka, where Russian forces continue their advance.
