Fierce battles are currently taking place in Konstantinovka, with the city becoming a "grey zone" that is not fully controlled by either the Ukrainian Armed Forces or the occupiers, according to BBC Ukraine.

According to BBC sources among Ukrainian military personnel, UAV operators, and fighters defending the city, fierce battles continue in Konstantinovka. Russian assault groups are infiltrating the city and amassing forces in new positions. The Ukrainian military characterizes the current situation as a "grey zone", where neither side has full control over the territory. The main problems for the Ukrainian side include a shortage of personnel, difficult logistics, and the growing advantage of Russian drone operators. However, some military personnel believe that the situation can still be stabilized with the necessary reinforcements.

Key points:

🔹 Russian infantry has already been spotted on the northern outskirts of Konstantinovka, in the area of the exit to Druzhkovka.

🔹 The priority target of Russian units is now Ukrainian UAV crews.

🔹 Ukrainian operators are forced to carry out 20–30 sorties per day, often with only 3–4 hours of sleep.

🔹 Due to a lack of resources, Ukrainian UAV units cannot systematically hunt down Russian drone operators.

🔹 Military personnel report a serious shortage of personnel, with replacements being supplied more slowly than the losses the brigade suffers.

🔹 Supplying units has become significantly more difficult: there are practically no ground routes left, and heavy delivery drones are often shot down.

🔹 In some cases, FPV drones are even used to deliver food and necessary supplies to positions.

🔹 Some military personnel claim that individual commanders do not always report the loss of positions in a timely manner due to the risk of receiving an order to immediately retake them.

Here's a comparison of my map of the situation in Kostyantynivka to the Ukrainian source Deepstate and the Russian source Divgen.

Deepstate's map shows less than 1% of Kostyantynivka as under Russian control, 64% under Ukrainian control, and the rest in a grey-zone.

My map shows 40% of Kostyantynivka as under Russian control, 15% as under Ukrainian control, and the rest in a grey-zone.

Divgen's map shows 73% of Kostyantynivka as under Russian control, 10% as under Ukrainian control, and the rest in a grey-zone.

We finished the job in the morning...

Several trucks at a truck stop in the Khortitsky district remained intact after the last night's strike.

We decided to rectify this omission using a "Geran-2" UAV at 8:30 this morning with a second strike on the freight transport parking lot in the industrial zone of the Khortitsky district of the city of Zaporozhye.

As a result, several more trucks were burned down.

According to reports from Ukrainian social media, there were no casualties.

If an individual is not from a region where military operations are directly taking place, they are not entitled to a PESEL UKR status. Such cases of refusal are not isolated.

4 Russian KAB glide-bombs struck the Slovyansk Thermal Power Plant in the city of Mykolaivka, Donetsk Oblast.

This plant doesn't generate any power right now, and only serves as a node to transport electricity from nearby substations to Slovyansk and Kramatorsk.

Ukrainian soldiers of the "Assault Special Poison" unit about the situation in Kostyantynivka. In short:

- The city is already treated as lost.

- The Russians are establishing control over the central, western, and northern parts of the city.

- The area in yellow can only be supported logistically via heavy drones, but such movements are tracked by the Russians, who then strike the area where the supplies were dropped, as it indicates a position.

- The Russians constantly control the entrance routes into Kostyantynivka, and because of this the Ukrainians lack maneuverability.

- The loss of control over the sky and the ignoring of conducting real assessments of the tactical picture led the city to the current situation.

- The Russians move in 2 groups of 2 soldiers at a time, a simple and reasonable tactic.

- The Russians are wiping out Osykove and Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka, focusing on the first buildings of the settlements first.

- The Russians are also heavily pressuring Ukrainian UAV crews.

Serhii Sternenko, who is an Adviser to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence, has accused Maksym Lavrynenko, the owner of largest Telegram channel network in Ukraine "Trukha", of operating as a propagandist in the interests of Russia.

This comes shortly after Maksym Lavrynenko announced that he was tracked down by 5 members of the TCC (territorial recruitment) at the personal orders of defence minister Fedorov, after attempting to investigate high-level corruption in the Ukrainian military.

Sternenko alleges that the videos published on the various "Trukha" channels have been used by Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile crews as objective control footage during large-scale attacks to adjust strikes on their targets, and pointed out instances of Trukha being the first channel to post the aftermath of Russian strikes on Kyiv, including recent attacks on the Artem Defence Plant.

Sternenko speculated that Lavrynenko is being protected by unspecified Ukrainian politicians, and expressed support for him being detained by the SBU. He also accused Lavrynenko of attacking defence minister Fedorov in sync with Pro-Russians.
