UKRAINIAN TROOPS STRUGGLE TO HOLD THE LINE ON THE EASTERN FRONT
>Kyiv is defending Kostiantynivka from Russian drone attacks. The embattled city is a gateway to Ukraine’s last major defense in the Donetsk region.
>Ukrainian troops face dire conditions defending Kostiantynivka. The city stands directly in the path of Russia’s summer offensive in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, which has seen Moscow’s troops make some of their biggest monthly territorial gains since 2022.
> That makes Kostiantynivka a prime target. The city is the southern gateway to a chain of cities that form Ukraine’s last major defensive belt in Donetsk. Should it fall, nearly all cities farther north would come within range of Russian drones. It would bring Moscow closer to its long-sought goal of seizing all of Donetsk.
> Russian forces have carved out a 10-mile-deep pocket around the Ukrainian troops defending Kostiantynivka, partly surrounding them from the east, south and west. Practically every movement in that pocket is targeted by Russian drones around the clock
>Ukrainian soldiers say Russia’s expanded drone strike capacity gives it an edge it did not have during previous assaults.
> “Before, they could hit targets within two or three kilometers,” or less than two miles, said the commander of the unit operating crewless vehicles in the 93rd Brigade, who asked to be identified by only his first name, Oleksandr, according to military protocol. “Now, they’re striking every 10 to 20 minutes at a consistent range of 15 kilometers from the front line. Everything within that 15-kilometer zone is being destroyed.”
> Ukrainian troops avoid leaving their underground shelters altogether. “We joke that going to the bathroom is practically a heroic act now,” said Mykola
