The occupiers are attempting to encircle Kostyantynivka from three sides, - OSTG "Khortytsia"

This was reported by Viktor Trehubov, the spokesperson for the operational-strategic grouping of troops "Khortytsia," during a television marathon.

According to him, the Russians have been trying for a long time to encircle Kostyantynivka from three directions.

"Previously, they tried to approach it either from the Toretsk or Kramatorsk directions, or Chasiv Yar - through the route where they could break through first, but over a year and a half, they have not succeeded in any of these. Currently, they are trying to approach from the Pokrovsk direction, specifically through the Pokrovsk-Kostyantynivka highway and advance further. It is there that intense fighting is ongoing now," Trehubov noted.

The spokesperson indicated that the largest enemy forces were concentrated precisely in the Pokrovsk direction.
