Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on Saturday that Russian forces have breached Ukrainian defenses in Konstantinovka, a city in the Donetsk People’s Republic. According to Peskov, Ukrainian forces had previously considered the area an impenetrable fortress. This claim suggests a significant Russian advancement in the region and challenges Kyiv's assessment of the city's defenses. The breakthrough indicates a shift in the dynamics of the conflict in the DPR. Peskov’s statement was made during a briefing with the press, highlighting Moscow’s narrative surrounding ongoing military operations. The news comes as fighting continues intensely in eastern Ukraine. Further details regarding the extent of the Russian advance within Konstantinovka remain limited.
