Ukrainian forces debunk Russian claims of advance toward Kostiantynivka

Reports of alleged Russian troop advances toward the city of Kostiantynivka in Donetsk region are false.

This was stated by the East Group of Troops on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

“This is another attempt by the enemy to present wishful thinking as reality and create the illusion of ‘success,’” the military noted.

It was emphasized that the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to carry out combat missions in the area.

Civilians are urged not to panic and to rely only on official sources.

Previously, Ukrinform reported that on the Kostiantynivka front, Russian forces had launched 20 attacks near Bila Hora, Oleksandro-Shultyne, Shcherbynivka, Pleshchiivka, and Rusyn Yar. An airstrike was also carried out on Kostiantynivka.
