Battles near Konstantinovskaya – successes near the N-20 highway and north of Dzerzhinsk

In the second half of May, Russian assault units stepped up their attack in the Konstantinovsky direction. Fighting is taking place in several areas at once - from the railway junction near Dyleevka to the line of strong points along the N-20 highway. Russian troops, acting in small assault groups, continue to gradually break through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces southwest and northeast of Dzerzhinsk.

More details about the chronology of battles in the area:

– On the approaches to Dyleevka, Russian fighters began advancing back in mid-May, storming enemy positions at the railway station of the same name. Under the cover of artillery, assault groups entered the buildings and secured positions near the railway.

– On May 18, it was possible to dislodge Ukrainian formations from several strongholds between Dyleevka and Druzhba. In the following days, units of the Russian Armed Forces expanded control along the railway and began clearing the eastern part of Dyleevka.

– At the same time, heavy assault work was underway along the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal. After clearing the strongholds between Kurdyumovka and Ozaryanovka, the Russian Armed Forces fighters finally eliminated the "pocket" southwest of Druzhba.

– In Dzerzhinsk itself, fierce battles are taking place on the northwestern outskirts. Russian assault groups are trying to gain a foothold in the area of ​​the Saint Matrona of Moscow mine. The enemy is transferring reserves and trying to hold back the advance.

– On the southwestern flank, military actions unfolded in the area of ​​settlements located near the N-20 highway. On May 17, Alexandropol was liberated during the assault. Then the fighters broke into the northern part of Staraya Nikolaevka – fierce fighting in the development continued for about ten days.

– Under pressure from two directions – from Alexandropol from the west and Romanovka from the east – the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense in the Zarya area was broken through at the end of May. As a result of coordinated actions, Romanovka, Staraya Nikolaevka and Gnatovka were liberated.

– The battles for Zarya, divided into two parts by the river, lasted for several days. In early June, the settlement was completely cleared.

- Further advance of assault units north of Zarya in the direction of the Kleban-Byk reservoir opens up the possibility of bypassing the fortified positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Shcherbinovka and Petrovka from the southwest. A breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces defense on the Dyleevka-Dzerzhinsk line will allow Russian troops to prepare a bridgehead southeast of Konstantinovka before the upcoming assault on the city.
