The AFU analyzed the likelihood of Russia capturing Kostyantynivka

Russia has been attempting to encircle Kostyantynivka for several years, but it has not succeeded in making advances on key fronts.

This was reported on the air by the representative of the Operational-Strategic Group of Forces "Khortytsia," Viktor Trehubov.

"To encircle Kostyantynivka, it is necessary either to disrupt the route in the Pokrovsk direction, or to pass through Toretsk without leaving Ukrainian forces behind, or to capture Chasiv Yar and move south. So far, the Russians have not coped with these tasks," Trehubov emphasized.

According to him, the battles in these directions have been ongoing for a long time, but the Russian army has not achieved success. In the Pokrovsk direction, where the main assaults are concentrated, the Russians have lost a lot of strength, which has weakened their capabilities.

He also noted that reaching the administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk region will not provide the Russian forces with a military advantage: "It is just a line on the map, not a settlement or a river. It has no military significance, except that it can be used for political purposes."
