Fierce fighting continues in Rodynske in the Donetsk region, but reports that Russian troops are in full control of the city are untrue. The same is happening in Kostyantynivka.
Points of attention
- The Armed Forces of Ukraine have denied Russian claims of capturing Kostyantynivka and Rodynske, emphasizing that Ukrainian troops are successfully holding their positions and repelling enemy attacks.
- Fierce fighting continues in Rodynske and Kostyantynivka, with the Ukrainian military actively defending against Russian assaults, including repelling 86 Russian attacks in the past 24 hours.
- The Ukrainian military remains vigilant against Russian disinformation efforts, urging citizens to verify information and not fall prey to enemy propaganda.
Fighting is ongoing in Kostyantynivka and Rodynske
This is reported by the Operational Command "East".
According to the military, the enemy tried to gain a foothold along the railway north of Rodynske, as well as in the western areas of the city, but was unsuccessful. Ukrainian units continue to hold their positions and contain the enemy's advance.
In total, in the area of responsibility of the "East" military unit, the Ukrainian Defense Forces repelled 86 Russian assaults over the past 24 hours. The most active fighting continues in the Pokrovsko-Mirnograd agglomeration area, in particular in the Pokrovsko direction, where 52 enemy attacks were stopped.
Ukrainian military controls the northern part of Pokrovsk, and in the central quarters they are blocking the enemy's advance. In Myrnograd, defensive lines are being held, additional forces and means have been deployed to strengthen the city's defense, while logistics remain complicated.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine also denied the claims of the Russian invaders about alleged control over part of Kostyantynivka, Donetsk region.
This was reported by the 19th Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Kremlin is once again trying to wishful thinking and proclaiming the "successes" of the Russian army on the battlefield. However, none of these theses are supported by facts. The claim of alleged control over part of Konstantinovka is also a myth.
As the military noted, the Ukrainian defenders are confidently holding their defenses and destroying the enemy on the approaches to the city.
Russia is trying to influence the international community with disinformation, especially during the negotiations. But these attempts will have no result — except for increasing casualties among the invaders, the military noted.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine called on citizens to verify information and not be a tool in the hands of enemy propagandists.
