In urban combat scenarios, defenders can effectively neutralize enemy flanking incursions through systematic search and strike operations, as demonstrated in Kostyantynivka where Ukrainian forces successfully countered Russian attempts to encircle the city by clearing infantry groups from industrial zones and residential areas, with the urban terrain creating a bottleneck effect that prevents effective use of enemy reserves despite their numerical advantage.

UKRAINE’S FIERCE COUNTERATTACK! KREMLIN CRUMBLE DUST AFTER DEVASTATING BLOW! PUTIN FREEZE IN FEAR!Ajouté :
Directly to the line of combat engagement, let's take a look. Today, as last week, we'll start with the sector of the front around Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk region.
Because in my opinion, this is currently, if not the most difficult, then at least one of the most challenging sections of the front.
Because the Muscovites spare nothing.
Neither forces, nor resources, nor in fact the lives of their own soldiers and fighters are spared here in order to finally capture all of Kostiantynivka and apparently to create some initial basic prerequisites for the possible start of a massive offensive campaign against the entire Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, at least from the south, at the very least.
As before, the Russians are attacking both around the city roughly in a semicircle from the city and directly within the settlement itself.
But about 2/3 of all attacks, if not mathematically, are happening precisely on the flanks, meaning these are flanking assaults. In particular, on the stretch from Rusyn Yar all the way to Berestok, more than half a dozen Russian motorized rifle and tank regiments, mainly from the 20th motorized rifle division of the 8th Combined Arms Army, are trying to expand the area of penetration north of the N-32 highway.
This is the road that leads from Bakhmut through Kostiantynivka all the way to Pokrovsk.
In particular, the Russians are trying to break through via Stepanivka along the lowlands in the direction of the village of Dovha Balka and to gain a foothold there. This is where they want to establish themselves.
They are also attacking from Ilynivka to the northwest, to the north, and to the northeast. Moreover, I suspect that the main goal of this incursion, and it's a broad one, is to create a large and enveloping front on the western flank all the way to Kostiantynivka itself, if not the city itself, and the creation of additional problems for Ukrainian logistics, moreover, already north of Kostiantynivka and further into the rear.
Similarly, on the eastern flank, where the main forces of the Rashid sixth motorized rifle division of the third Army Corps are attacking, here the Russians attacking through almost along the H32 highway both there and further north towards Novodmytrivka and Malocharka, they are also trying to expand the area of control north of the highway. And I suspect that they are doing roughly the same thing here as on the western flank, only with slightly smaller forces and a narrower penetration. One way or another, it seems that it is here that the Muscovites managed to break into the private residential area on the eastern outskirts of Kostyantynivka.
It seems that they even managed to gain a foothold at least in Malocharka.
Another third of enemy attacks are coming from the south where the Rushist mixed gang is operating.
The eighth combined arms army and the second and third Army Corps are trying to push along the highway T-05-16.
This is a local road that leads from Toretsk to Kostyantynivka.
Along the road that goes from Oleksandr Shultin to the railway station in Kostyantynivka, and I'll say have the Muscovites managed to achieve anything here?
At the very least, as of today, they have managed to gain a foothold at the intersection point of these two roads where they converge with the overpass above the street Oleksa Tykhoho.
But what seems most threatening to me is the events that are already taking place directly in Kostyantynivka. Although reports of urban combat started appearing as early as around the beginning or middle of April, but since then, the situation has escalated rapidly. And even compared to last week when we analyzed the situation in Kostyantynivka, it seems that on both flanks from the mirrored incursions of the Russians, particularly on the eastern flank along Yar street, it appears that the Russians managed to cross both Ukrainska and Bakhmutska streets. And even here, there There likely movement toward the central local market.
And on the western flank, along Stepan Bandera Street and through the Yuvelenny Park, the Russians, since last week, have apparently managed to push through Svobody Avenue toward the railway branch and likely even to the territory of the former local chemical plant.
The most pessimistic sources indicate that the distance between the edges of these enemy wedges currently does not exceed 2 km. But at the same time, it should be noted that there is no verified information from the Ukrainian General Staff about a stable There has not yet been a confirmed presence of the Muscovites on all these routes. On the other hand, the fact that such attempts definitely took place is evidenced, at least by the fact that both Ukrainian artillery and Ukrainian aviation struck these routes. The question that concerns us the most is taking all circumstances into account, considering that these are small infantry groups, there is definitely no enemy armor. I doubt that tanks or armored personnel carriers are heading toward Kostiantynivka.
In your opinion, do we have the capability, even among the ruins, ruins, but still dense urban development, to push them out and so to speak, to scan, to cancel these flanking incursions, these incursions by the Russians? Because I don't want to use the word encirclement, but but the map actually shows just such a result.
Is there a chance to turn the situation back?
>> There is such a chance, but it always depends on the availability of reserves.
And exactly where these reserves will be deployed is usually a secret, which obviously is not made public because it's precisely the direction of deployment. In other words, whoever makes their move first is the one who actually holds the initiative, just like we did, for example, in the Novoaleksandrivka direction.
So, regarding Kostiantynivka, indeed, the Russians are not trying to storm it head-on.
They have already encountered numerous cases of resistance here, quite worthy resistance.
And at the moment they are employing a flanking encirclement indeed and from Chasiv Yar where >> Our dedicated troops continue to remain and >> along Chasiv Yar street where there is the largest, the most sensitive presence along these streets because this is already directly in Kostiantynivka itself.
Of course, along Stepan Bandera street as well. The fact of their presence, the fact that these Russians are there, it already creates the impression that supposedly the enemy is in the city.
But let's recall the experience of Kupiansk where they entered in small groups in exactly the same way and tried to gain a foothold.
Including at the chemical plant where there is a very extensive system.
>> In general, the industrial zone along the railway line >> is enormous. Yes, and along the railway line it also serves as a kind of natural barrier.
Through which even heavy equipment cannot pass. It can't get through and for infantry who climb up there, it immediately makes them quite an easy target.
So, that's why the fighting for Kostiantynivka is far from over because in fact the presence of even a large number of small infantry groups hiding in basements, in industrial zones, trying to regroup, in other words, looking for supply routes does not automatically mean encirclement.
And our search and strike operations by units conducted here, as far as I know, are always successful. That is as soon as the location of such an infantry group is discovered and our forces prepare for a sweep, in 100% of cases the sweep is carried out and the territories are liberated.
Yes, they are very difficult because there are a large number of industrial facilities and we have to work in this mode.
Room by room.
And these are such complex purely combat operations for which special forces are intended and of course they require more thorough planning.
For the enemy, there are no problems here. He sends in one group after another, and even in conditions where electronic warfare is active, meaning these groups cannot communicate with each other, they are uncoordinated, and therefore we cannot say that they have actually managed to encircle anything.
They are there, they are present there.
And in order to drive them out, we prepare our operation, push them out, and then our group needs to return.
Obviously, we cannot operate the way the Russians do when they send people in and tell them to wait. Either you'll be killed or reinforcements will arrive for you.
And so in this mode, the fighting continues for now.
But the enemy's goal to encircle Kostyantynivka and the fact that Kostyantynivka it really is in an awkward position because it lies in the lowland while the enemy is advancing from the high ground.
Right here are those very heights, and why is it so important to hold the outskirts of Chasiv Yar?
Precisely to prevent the enemy from gaining control over these heights from which they could simply shell and destroy Kostyantynivka.
So, the situation is evolving, and we will see a somewhat clearer picture in a few weeks. But for now, Kostyantynivka and these battles are fulfilling their main function. They are drawing in the enemy's reserves. They are tying down large enemy forces, enemy forces.
Moreover, urban combat is characterized by this narrow bottleneck.
Even though there are supposedly huge reserves, the enemy cannot use them effectively in urban combat conditions.
And in this regard, uh our defense is extremely effective.
>> Another section of the front that needs to be discussed today. Specifically, this is the sector of the front around the junction of three regions, Dnipro, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions.
The Oleksandrivka and partly the Novopavlivka directions.
From the south, mainly along the eastern bank of the Solona river, through Filia and in the section from Dakne to Kutliarivka, the Russian grouping, mainly with the forces of its 90th Tank Division and 41st Combined Arms Army, does not stop its efforts for a single day to finally push Ukrainians out of the borders of Donetsk region, let's put it this way, to the west and obviously with a short-term goal to gain a foothold and consolidate in Novopavlivka.
At the same time, at the end of last week, at the end of the final week of May, it became known that the Ukrainian strike group, in particular the 20th Army Corps, together with a tactical group of Ukrainian Airborne Assault Troops, excuse me, significantly pushed back the enemy in the area south of Ivanivka and up to the H15 highway, in particular.
The Ukrainians are now attacking through Zelenyi Hai, here as well as the branch and directly along the M15 highway.
But I repeat, this does not mean that this is an easy walk for the Muscovites.
They are attacking there and it is definitely not a sign of the enemy's willingness to yield.
At the same time, it seems that the same is happening in the Oleksandrivka sector of the front. This period, let's say, of counterattacks of Ukrainian counteroffensive actions, it is ongoing.
It began back at the start the beginning of February and continues to this day. In particular, all this is happening along a stretch with a total length of about 50 km if you count from Dobropillia in Zaporizhzhia, which is located on the R85 highway, to Pidubne near Myrne.
In particular, around the middle of last week, Ukrainian soldiers managed to liberate about 10 square kilometers in the section between Dobropillia and Danylovka.
the Ukrainians, here on the stretch from that same Danylovka to Pryvillia, it continues generally in the direction of the Yanchul river.
Similarly, the Ukrainians also liberated about 10 square kilometers in the triangle formed by Novaselivka, Vorone, and Sosnivka.
And here as well, Ukrainian pressure continues along the Vorona River through the village of the same name and from Novaselivka towards Yanvarske.
Similarly, the Ukrainians continue their attacks in the gap between Vishneve and Verbove and in the direction of Kalynivske, Novo Mykolaivka, Kalynivske, Novo Yehorivka. At the very least, as of now, this is the information available.
The Muscovites here, the headquarters of the enemy Vostok group of forces, are constantly regrouping here. But it seems that, at least for now, almost the only area where the Russians are currently trying to actively and intensively attack is the section north of Oleksandrivka, where most likely either the Russian 430th regiment of the 29th Combined Arms Army or the 1,461st and the 430th was only moved to this area literally at the end of last week.
Here they are trying to attack in the direction of the forest reserve, Novo Pavlivske forest.
