The situation around Kostiantynivka is escalating. Russian occupiers are already infiltrating the city and trying to expand their zone of control.
This is reported by analysts at DeepState.
The most active actions are unfolding around Kostiantynivka, which the Russians are attempting to occupy.
"You can no longer simply say that they are storming it and fighting on the outskirts, because active infiltration into the city is taking place and our military are forced to carry out constant sweeps to clear the enemy, who is hiding in houses, basements, ruins, etc. After taking Illinivka, which the Russians use to infiltrate the city, the enemy began expanding the zone of control, advancing westward to increase the encirclement around Kostiantynivka," the analysts noted.
DeepState emphasized that Chasiv Yar is currently in the greatest danger, as the enemy is wrapping their surrounding control around it.
"Positions within the city itself are being held, but if the flanks fall, particularly on the sector above, then the group in the settlement of Chasiv Yar will have a very hard time," they added.
Slovyansk
"There are currently two important settlements that are in the enemy’s sights for advancing toward the city — Raihorodok and Mykolaivka. If the first is holding steadily, in the second there are worrying signs in the form of enemy infiltration. These are signs of probing for weak points by the enemy, which they will certainly exploit."
"Ukrainian pilots are successfully locating the enemy and destroying them, but there are problems with tracking because there have been repeated recorded penetrations. Currently the settlement of Kryva Luka and its district are causing concern, where enemy presence has been recorded," the analysts explained.
Important consolidation points for the enemy are the settlements Orihuvatka and Rai-Oleksandrivka.
"The enemy still needs to reach the first, but there is infiltration into the second with successful destruction of the enemy. Rai-Oleksandrivka is being kept under control and the enemy is not being allowed to establish themselves, but doing so is becoming increasingly difficult due to a lack of sufficient personnel. This applies to the entire holding area for the brigades stationed there," they said.
DeepState hopes that the change of leadership of the 11 corps will improve the situation in the area of responsibility.
"The enemy is preparing the groundwork for developing offensive actions toward Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, as we wrote earlier. In particular, cities and the agglomeration are being destroyed by constant shelling. It is now necessary to keep the situation under control so as not to give the Russians opportunities that will become the future foundation for advances toward the last large cities of Donetsk region. Therefore, a great responsibility rests on the new corps command to avoid the mistakes of the previous leadership," they explained.
Control over the situation on the section from Malynivka to Maiske, where the enemy could use the terrain to infiltrate in the direction of Kramatorsk, also remains important.
"Previously, due to unreliable reports, the threat was quite high, but with the change of leadership this has slowly begun to be corrected. We hope it will continue this way.
The battle for Kostiantynivka continues for now...", DeepState summed up.
