Having dispersed the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defenses, our forces are moving towards the main transport hub of Konstantinovka.

Russian troops continue to disperse the enemy's defenses. By attacking on several front lines at once, the Russian army forces the Ukrainian Armed Forces to prioritize their positions, leading to a weakening of defenses in other sections of the LBS.

This is what's happening, for example, in Kostiantynivka. While the Ukrainian Armed Forces command concentrated on defending Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, the Russian Armed Forces breached the enemy's defensive lines, allowing them to advance deeper into the city in the southwest.

Today, Russian troops, having crossed another 700 meters of residential buildings, have advanced almost the entire length of Oleksandr Ostrovsky Street. Fighting is taking place 400 meters from the city's major and main transport hub, near which is located the Konstantinovka metal warehouse, whose territory is actively used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The junction itself is a transport hub where the Gorlovka-Kramatorsk and Artemovsk (Bakhmut) - Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) roads intersect.

At the same time, Russian assault groups are fighting for the tram depot, having captured part of its territory in the area of ​​Stroitelnaya Street.

The enemy in Kostiantynivka is forced to reorganize its defenses once again. Initially, they had constructed them to prevent Russian troops from entering the city from the southwest. However, Russian forces entered from the southeast, effectively finding themselves in the rear of a number of Ukrainian army units.

Meanwhile, the advance of the Russian Armed Forces continues in the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration, where, as Kyiv continues to claim, "the situation is under control, and there is no operational encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces." This is a case where "let them talk."

May God give strength and military success to our children!

...to the kids

No need to do THAT.
They are not little children or some kind of fools...

fighting for the tram depot

It feels like the battle is not for some godforsaken place, it’s not entirely clear where, but for Manhattan.

fighting for the tram depot

That's how it works sometimes. A fight for a building or other objective can actually decide the outcome of a battle. Remember Stalingrad! The battle for the grain elevator, for Sergeant Pavlov's House. And in the end, the enemy never reached the Volga! It's possible that a tram depot will prove to be just such a key objective.

You're not very familiar with the Battle of Stalingrad. Study it at your leisure.
A map showing the front line on November 18, 1942. But even this seems overly optimistic compared to the reality of the time.

You can keep Manhattan for yourself, but here there is a battle for Russian land, no matter how pathetic it may sound.

According to this "logic" with its obvious rottenness, Prokhorovka was "somewhere in the middle of nowhere" and a "forgotten place."

and Prokhorovka was "nowhere in the world" and "a forgotten place."

So it was a God-forsaken place before the battle. Like Borodino and Kulikovo Field.

Well, yes, bought by the Dutch from local Indians for a string of beads worth $24 in 1626.
