Russian forces have cut off the movement of Ukrainian troops in Konstantinovka, placing the city under full fire control.

According to the press service of the «Southern» group, artillery units and FPV drones of the 3rd Army Corps are striking both pre-identified targets and operating in a «free hunt» mode, hitting Ukrainian positions as opportunities arise.

The Russian military is disrupting the rotation of Ukrainian units and severing their supply routes for ammunition, food, and medical aid. The press service emphasized that, in effect, Konstantinovka has been pushed into a state of blockade.

Strikes are being carried out from multiple directions, including from the area of Novodmitrovka, pointing to further advances of Russian troops in the sector.

Drone operators are also exerting psychological pressure: the constant buzz of FPV drones over the city has been forcing Ukrainian soldiers to abandon their positions.
