A few days ago, due to the threat of encirclement, and under complete media silence, Ukrainian forces initiated a full withdrawal from the southwestern and western parts of Kostyantynivka, across the Kryvyi Torets River. Special forces were deployed to the area north of this withdrawal zone to hold key withdrawal roads and repel Russian infiltrations.

Since then, Russian forces have occupied most of the southwestern and western suburbs, which is why we saw that video with dozens of Russian flags going up.

Currently, I can confirm Russian control over more than 40% of Kostyantynivka (not including grey-zones), however, in my opinion, it's likely that Russia now controls more than 50% of the city.

Ukrainian special forces were deployed to the green square to secure Lomonosova Street for withdrawals along the yellow line indicated on the map.

It is unclear if they were already in the city to begin with, or were deployed from another sector of the frontline. Since then, Russian forces have intensified their assault operations, engaging in fierce battles with Ukrainian special forces for Lomonosova Street to secure the remaining western part of Kostyantynivka. This will allow them to begin accumulating for infiltrations into the northwestern suburbs, which, for now, still remain under solid Ukrainian control.

Elsewhere in the city, Russia has significantly stepped up their assault operations, attempting to cut off the Ukrainian garrison in the southeastern suburbs via the so-called historical centre, while simultaneously storming them head-on in the area of the railway station, tram depot, and city cemetery. I doubt Ukraine was able to deploy reinforcements here due to the near-operational-encirclement, so I wouldn't be surprised that Ukrainian forces retreating from the western and southwestern suburbs suffered heavy casualties while trying to cross the Kryvyi Torets River.

The Kiev Subway has explained some rules to be followed during air raid alerts.

Passengers are advised not to bring bulky items, including tents and inflatable mattresses, and to use sleeping bags if possible. It is also recommended that they choose less crowded central stations.

Kiev residents are advised to prepare essential items in advance: warm clothes, water, food, medicines, and hygiene products, as it can be cold at the stations.

The Armed Forces of the Ukraine struck a column of about 50 Russian trucks near Armyansk (?!): trucks with fuel and ammunition were destroyed, — "Perun"

The trucks were trying to cross the bridge near Armyansk in Crimea.

UPD: The screenshot, unfortunately, is from Arma 3. The actual strike on the column was real.

A tale as old as time.

The prospects for defending Kostiantynovka for the Ukrainian Armed Forces look very bleak, according to Ukrainian military expert Konstantin Mashovets.

Russian troops managed to break through into the city center in several areas at once.

The most significant advances were recorded from Illinovka and Berestok, where Russian assault groups advanced through the 7 Vetrov shopping center and Yubileiny Park to Yemelyanova Street, as well as to the Krivoy Torets River northwest of the railway station.

The so-called "Pro-Ukrainian" David D hasn't made a SINGLE post about Kostyantynivka out of his 137,000 posts on Twitter.

Do you need more evidence that these people don't support Ukraine, and only care about how many Russians they get to see in FPV kill cam videos?

The Russian language is no longer protected in the Ukraine — Zelensky has signed a law excluding it from the European Minority Languages Charter.

Meanwhile, the Charter continues to protect all other languages which it has applied to so far, and is extended to Urum [a Turkic language], Rumei [a Greek dialect], Romani [a Gypsy language], Czech [closely related to Slovak and Polish], Crimean Tatar [a Turkic language], Karaim languages [Turkic languages belonging to the Kipchak group, with Hebrew influences, similarly to Yiddish or Judaeo-Spanish] and Yiddish [historically Judeo-German or Jewish German, a West Germanic language historically spoken by Ashkenazi Jews].

Next thing you know, Yiddish will be declared the official language of the Ukraine ☹️

— 🇮🇷/🇦🇪 NEW: The UAE will unlock $10 Billion worth of frozen oil revenues to Iran, of which $3 Billion have already been recently delivered in cash, according to Reuters

Two other informed sources said the amount could be up to $20 Billion, and part of this was agreed in exchange for Iran not attacking the United Arab Emirates during the final weeks of the war.
