📝Battles for Konstantinovka and Ivanopole - Rybary's analysis📝

In the context of the ongoing military operations in the Konstantinovka area, there has been a notable expansion in the area of control exercised by Russian military forces along the banks of the Kleban-Byk reservoir in the past month.

To the east, the assault forces breached the defensive perimeter of Konstantinovka, thereby creating a potential threat of encirclement for the Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the vicinity of Predtechino.

The following section will provide a detailed exposition on the evolution of the offensive strategy employed.

The area in which the most intense fighting occurred in this direction was the line extending from Krasnoye to Predtechino and Ivanopole. This area corresponds to the final defensive line of Konstantinovka, situated from the southeast.

As September drew to a close, the RF Armed Forces commenced a gradual advance toward Predtechino and Podolsk. The liberation of this territory would effectively sever the enemy's strategic depth west of the Severny Donets-Donbass Canal, a pivotal waterway that controls access to the Donbas region.

By October 6, the Russian military had successfully advanced the Ukrainian Armed Forces beyond the canal and established a stronghold on its right bank. In a span of fewer than two weeks, assault groups were also engaged in the construction of Predtechino, a strategic crossing point utilized for the delivery of supplies to Ukrainian formations operating within the area.

Concurrently, hostilities for Konstantinovka escalated, unfolding within the dacha cooperative on the periphery of which Russian troops had previously established a presence.

Despite the enemy's deployment of additional reserves and the augmentation of UAV divisions, by October 17, assault groups had successfully penetrated the city's infrastructure.

In the southernmost region, by September 19, the RF Armed Forces successfully cleared the forest belts near Aleksandro-Shultino and initiated offensive operations toward Ivanopole. In the following weeks, the Bolsheviks occupied a substantial territory along the approaches to the settlement and initiated battles for Nelepovka and Pleshcheevka.

By October 6, the RF Armed Forces had successfully secured the Shcherbinovka territory.

Subsequently, the assault forces expelled the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the majority of Kleban-Byk and the forest belt between Katerinovka and Aleksandro-Kalinovo. Consequently, the remnants of Ukrainian formations were compelled to withdraw to the southern bank of the reservoir.

It is imperative to acknowledge the dynamic nature of the situation on the direction. In a recent development, the RF Armed Forces have once again reduced the wedge area near Predtechino, thereby extending their control over the supply routes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the village.

Furthermore, the forces in question gained full control of Kleban-Byk, effectively impeding the retreat of the remnants of Ukrainian formations from the southern bank of the reservoir.
