Russian troops are trying to advance in small groups in the Kostiantynivka area of the Donetsk region. Still, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are exterminating the enemies during search and strike operations.

Major Hryhorii Shapoval, the spokesman for the Operation Task Force East, reported this in a comment to Ukrinform.

“Yes, the enemy is trying to infiltrate in small groups. [The invaders] are coming in, trying to occupy inter-positional lines, but our Defense Forces are conducting search and strike operations, and the enemies are being exterminated as much as possible,” Shapoval said.

According to him, the Russians are operating in small groups, trying to advance and gain a foothold between Ukrainian positions. At the same time, Defense Forces units are quickly detecting such attempts and inflicting damage.
