Ukrainian military command is reportedly attempting to evacuate its officer corps from the town of Kostyantynivka, according to information from Russian security sources. The plan, they claim, is to shift to remote command of units currently holding positions within the town.

A spokesperson for the Russian security services told TASS that Ukrainian forces are actively working to remove officers from Kostyantynivka. He noted that it is typical for Ukrainian commanders to continue directing operations in such locations from outside the immediate combat zone.

To facilitate the evacuation, Ukrainian personnel are allegedly using civilian clothing and non-military vehicles as camouflage, the source added.

Kostyantynivka is located in the northern part of the Donetsk People’s Republic, roughly 55 kilometers from the city of Donetsk. The town serves as a significant railway transit hub, making it a strategically important location in the ongoing conflict.
