The Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing positions on the Kostyantynivka direction: "Shcherbynivka is almost completely lost"

Shcherbynivka on the way to Kostyantynivka is almost completely lost, reports a serviceman with the call sign «Muchnyi».

According to his information, the Russians have entrenched themselves in most of the village, with only the northernmost houses remaining under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

«The situation looks like we won’t be able to hold this line for long,» – the serviceman added.

Also, «Muchnyi» reports that in Katerynivka, the Russians have advanced deeper into the settlement and control most of it, while continuing to fortify their positions.

«Our units are still in the northeast, but the positions are unstable, and a tactical withdrawal to the Kleban-Byk line is expected, where it is possible to organize a new defense line. In the area of Oleksandro-Shultyno, the situation is also tense – a significant part of the village is under enemy fire control. The western part remains with us, where positional battles continue,» – he noted.

The serviceman reports that, overall, the Russian army is gradually tightening the encirclement around Ukrainian positions, occupying key strongholds, and fortifying in the captured settlements.
