The Red Army City and Don Kostyantynivka (Kostyantynivka) are on the verge of being surrounded by Russian forces. The Ukrainian forces here are in a dangerous situation because they may be cut off from the main force. These two cities are also the main targets of the Russian summer campaign.
Don Kostyantynivka is actually in a semi-encircled state. The main supply line is the highway leading to Druzhkivka and Kramatorsk, but this road is within the range of Russian artillery and suicide drones, making the logistics supply extremely unstable.
The situation in Red Army City is no better. Russian forces have attempted to enter Dmytrivka from the east and launched fierce attacks. Although the combat group formed by the commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, Drapati, has launched several counterattacks, all were repelled by the Russian forces. In this area, the Russian Central Military District has a large number of troops, about 110,000, and has successfully cut off the highway connecting Red Army City with Don Kostyantynivka.
As of now, the situation of the Ukrainian forces in these two cities is developing in a similar way to before the loss of Avdiivka. If the Ukrainian forces cannot ensure the safety and smooth operation of the supply lines and bring in a large number of reinforcements, the garrisons in these two cities will only be able to retreat or wait to be surrounded.
