Ukrainian Armed Forces are destroying Russian assault groups on the approaches to Kostiantynivka.

According to ТСН: Russian troops are trying to break through to Kostiantynivka, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine are destroying them even on the approaches to the city.

Impact of Weather Conditions on Operations

The commander of the UAV systems of the 28th Brigade, Serhiy Yaryi, stated on the air of RanoK.LIVE that the weather significantly affects the intensity of UAV use from both sides. On favorable days, enemy drones can strike over long distances, but under the same conditions, Ukrainian forces can destroy the enemy from afar, without the need to supply personnel or logistical support.

This slows down the enemy's advance, because their vehicles cannot reach significant distances to their positions. Therefore, they have to walk 15 kilometers, and during these movements, we are already looking for them, detecting and destroying them on the approaches to the city, he noted.

Adaptation of Ukrainian Military Tactics

The commander also reported that the Ukrainian military has adapted their UAV operation tactics to freezing conditions: This allows them to maintain a zone of control on the approaches to Kostiantynivka and prevent enemy groups from entering the city.

Situation on the Front

Data from the analytical resource DeepState indicates that Russian army units have approached Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk region. The enemy continues to exert pressure on the defensive lines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Pleshchiyivka and Predtechyne.

It is known that the most intense battles are taking place around Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, while Russian troops are preparing further offensive actions towards Kostiantynivka, Sloviansk, and Kramatorsk.

The situation on the front remains tense, and military forces on both sides continue to actively fight for strategic positions. Weather and its impact on combat operations, especially under conditions of winter wind and frost, play a significant role in achieving success for both Ukrainian and Russian forces. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, adapting their tactics, hope not only to delay enemy advances but also to inflict significant losses on the enemy.
