Russia Continues to Encircle Kostyantynivka, Ukraine Faces Loss of Strategic Hub
According to Ukrainian analysts, the situation in Kostyantynivka continues to deteriorate, and the issue is not tactical withdrawals but a systemic collapse of command. Russian assault units have entered the northwestern part of the city, and what is currently happening can hardly be described as positional fighting in the classical sense. The entire city has become a combat zone without a clear line of contact.
In the eastern part of Kostyantynivka, the infiltration of Russian groups has brought the exit toward Druzhkivka under visual control. Fighting is ongoing in the multi-story buildings of the historic center, while the clearance of the private sector continues. Russian advancement in the industrial zone is creating pressure from the rear on the remaining Ukrainian positions in the central district of the western part of the city. From the direction of Ilyinivka, the offensive is proceeding along Levanevskoho Street, although isolated groups of Ukrainian infantry still maintain a presence in the southwestern part of the city.
