Ukrainian forces continue their offensive in the Kostiantynivka-Druzhkivka direction

According to inkorr.com: The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported in its latest update that Ukrainian forces have achieved tactical progress in the areas of Kostiantynivka and Druzhkivka. This information was obtained from reports by Russian military bloggers.

According to these bloggers, on September 26, Russian forces retreated from Pleshchiyivka, which may indicate a possible liberation of this settlement by Ukrainian defenders.

The Institute also recorded statements from Russian sources about the achievements of the occupiers, including the capture of some settlements. However, ISW has no independent confirmation of this information.

Summary of combat actions

According to the data from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in the Toretsk direction over the past day, the occupiers launched 24 attacks on the positions of Ukrainian forces. The most clashes occurred in the areas of the settlements of Shcherbynyvka, Kleban-Bik, Rusyn Yar, Sophiivka, and Poltavka.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that the occupiers attempted to break through in the Добропільському direction, but Ukrainian forces successfully repelled their attacks, inflicting significant losses on the enemy.

Reports from the front about the advance of Ukrainian troops in northern Donbas are also confirmed by Russian sources, indicating possible successes on the Ukrainian front. Meanwhile, the occupiers continue active operations in other areas but face strong resistance from Ukrainian forces.

In the context of the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine, the situation remains tense. The report from the American Institute for the Study of War adds important information about the dynamics of combat actions and the progress of Ukrainian forces. Successes on the front line may significantly impact the further development of the conflict and the morale of both Ukrainian military and civilians.
