Latest update from the Ukrainian battlefield, Russian forces are approaching the southeast suburbs of Kostyantynivka
According to the website "Military Affairs," Russian forces are advancing along multiple fronts in Donbas. After intense fighting, they have captured new positions near Uglivka, Red Army City, and Kostyantynivka.
"Military Affairs" released an update on October 23: In the direction of Uglivka, Russian forces advanced along the Yanchur River towards Prikhorye and Vishnyevoye, expanded the wedge around Novoplovka. In the direction of Red Army City, Russian forces have controlled two settlements, and they have entered the cities of Red Army City and Myrnohirsk, where fierce street battles are currently taking place between the two sides. In the region of Hrybivka, Russian forces are advancing along the railway, and have now cut off the road to Drobitske. A settlement in the west of Hrybivka has been surrounded. In the direction of Kupiansk, urban and surrounding battles continue, and currently the Ukrainian forces are trying to counterattack in the Moskovka area.
In the direction of Kostyantynivka, fierce fighting broke out in the area between Ivanivka, Aleksandrovka-Shurtyno, and Predtechnoye. It is reported that Russian forces are continuously approaching the southeast suburbs of Kostyantynivka, where the Ukrainian defense pressure is very high.
Kostyantynivka is a key stronghold on the "fortress belt" of Donetsk. After capturing Chasiv Yar, Russian forces have been gradually approaching this town. At the same time, Russian forces in the Toretsk direction are also active, approaching this key town from another direction. However, according to the current battlefield situation, it seems that the Russians may not be able to focus on attacking Kostyantynivka before capturing Red Army City.
