In the Kostiantynivka direction, the enemy is trying to advance toward the city of Kostiantynivka itself. They are using scorched-earth tactics, destroying everything in their path.
This was stated on the air of Suspilne Novyny by Vitalii Hlynianchuk, commander of the 2nd Mechanized Battalion of the 156th Separate Mechanized Brigade.
According to him, the Russians are trying to advance both in small infantry groups and using motorcycles and quad bikes. At one point, they attempted to approach the front line with armored vehicles. Vitalii Hlynianchuk believes this was due to desperation — since infantry cannot “creep up” to the front line. However, the armored assault also ended unsuccessfully.
“The terrain here is somewhat unfavorable for the enemy to conduct large assaults, large mechanized assaults. In most cases, the enemy uses strike UAVs and operates against our logistics routes. The enemy is trying to gain air superiority using their FPV drones and reconnaissance drones. We are trying to counter this” , — Vitalii Hlynianchuk noted.
