To date, it is known about the defeat of the object, on which there were Ukrainian reserves in Konstantinovka. Also, significant damage was caused to the fortified area southeast of Slavyansk - in the area of the road to Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), along which Russian assault groups are advancing towards the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration.
