Ukrainian soldiers hold the ruined cities of Donbas, without infrastructure, under constant fire, refusing to yield even a few hundred meters. Yet the fiery ring tightens, Armiia TV reports.

On the Kramatorsk axis, Russian troops relentlessly assault the positions of Ukraine’s 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade in Chasiv Yar, which continues to prove that the aggressor cannot destroy peaceful settlements with impunity, while also methodically devastating Kostiantynivka.

Amid the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, Moscow’s forces have continued to focus on capturing the entire Donetsk Oblast for many months, so Pokrovsk, Toretsk, Chasiv Yar, and Kostiantynivka remain the most intense areas on the front line.

The Russian offensive on Kostiantynivka depends on another battle for Ukraine’s Pokrovsk, which has proven catastrophic for Kyiv’s troops in recent weeks.

“Without Pokrovsk, they can’t reach Kramatorsk. First Pokrovsk, then Kostiantynivka, only then Sloviansk and Kramatorsk,” says Ukrainian military expert Ivan Stupak.

Ivan Stupak explains that if Pokrovsk falls, Russian forces would have a direct path to Mezhova in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

However, according to Stupak, losing Pokrovsk would not critically weaken Donetsk’s defense. Ukrainian forces successfully slowed the Russian offensive for 13 months, gaining vital time for Ukraine and European defense.

“For 13 months, Russia circled Pokrovsk. What they lost most of all wasn’t personnel — they lost time. Only after sending reinforcements from Sumy Oblast did any progress appear,” Stupak said. Stupak predicts Russia will next press toward Kostiantynivka, then Kramatorsk and Sloviansk — the agglomeration whose capture would signal control over all of Donetsk Oblast.

“Without Pokrovsk, they can’t reach Kramatorsk. First Pokrovsk, then Kostiantynivka, only then Sloviansk and Kramatorsk,” he concluded.

Oleh Petrasiuk, press officer of the 24th King Danylo Brigade, says that Russian assaults on the Kramatorsk axis are constant, with the occupiers regularly deploying armored vehicles.

“But all that equipment was destroyed — it never made it. They didn’t even manage to deploy their troops, didn’t even reach the center of Chasiv Yar,” he said.

According to him, fierce clashes continue between the city center and the canal, where Ukrainian defenders maintain the line under relentless fire.

Chasiv Yar, a town divided by a canal and with a pre-war population of over 12,000, is located in Donetsk Oblast and has been a focal point of Russian military efforts since March 2024.

While Chasiv Yar holds the front, Kostiantynivka suffers from constant air and artillery strikes. The Russians are systematically razing the city, leaving no chance for civilians.

“Many civilians still remain in the city. A lot of them refuse to evacuate… It’s quite dangerous there. There’s no infrastructure left — and, frankly, life there looks more like death,” said Petrasiuk.
