“The occupiers are trying to put pressure on all areas near Kostiantynivka in order to break through the line of defense held by the Azov soldiers. The Russians are paying a high price for each attack, both in terms of equipment and weapons, as well as personnel losses,” the brigade said.

As reported by Ukrinform, the Russians are trying to capture small settlements on the way to Kostiantynivka.
