Previously, analysts also reported on the advance of Russian forces near Kostyantynivka and in other areas of the Donetsk region.

As a reminder, Russian occupation forces have approached less than 15 km from Sloviansk and Kramatorsk , key cities of Ukrainian defense in the Donetsk region. Against this backdrop, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are strengthening command in the most difficult areas, preparing for a possible escalation of fighting in the fall.

At the same time, the Russian military command is asking to postpone this deadline to March 31, 2027, as it considers the task impossible to complete by the end of the year.
