Russia says Kostiantynivka has fallen. Kyiv claims it still holds the city. Both are wrong.

In recent days, alongside reports of drone and missile strikes on cities, factories, and gas stations, the state of the front lines has suddenly become a major topic of discussion — apparently because Donald Trump has returned as a mediator in the negotiations. Vladimir Putin told him about the fighting in the ruins of Kostiantynivka, in Ukraine’s Donetsk region — a key city the Russian president claims his army now holds. Ukraine’s General Staff responded that Kostiantynivka remains under the control of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. To back up their claims, both sides released videos of their troops inside the city, some recorded by opposing troops on nearby streets. In reality, neither Moscow nor Kyiv is right: Russian forces haven’t captured Kostiantynivka outright, but Ukraine doesn’t control the city either, though its troops still hold positions there, including in the city center. And while the Kremlin jumped the gun with its announcement, the situation in Kostiantynivka and elsewhere in the Donbas continues to deteriorate slowly for Ukraine’s military.

'Putin cannot rely on his own military’: Russian veteran jailed after threatening armed revolt

Sky News Defence Analyst Peter Jennings says Russian President Vladimir Putin “can’t rely” on his own military amid growing unrest throughout the nation. ​“I think the most telling statistic here is that the Russians are losing between 30,000 and 35,000 people killed in battle every month,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. ​“What this Russian individual, Alexander Lunin, has done has just pointed to the unsustainability of Russian military tactics. ​“That video was three years to the day from the Wagner Group’s brief revolution against the Russian government. ​“Lunin’s future itself is probably pretty bleak… but I think the message that Putin will be taking from it is that he can’t rely on his own military.”
