Russia claims it captured the strategic key Ukrainian city of Kostiantynivka

Russian forces have claimed capture of Kostiantynivka in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region after roughly a nine-month battle. The city sits within Ukraine's "fortress belt," a defensive network of cities forming Donbas's main defensive line. Ukrainian officials denied the city fell.

— Russian Ministry of Defence Daily Briefing — July 7, 2025 The Sever Group of Forces took Petro-Ivanovka under control. Russian assault units continue advancing in Konstantinovka despite ongoing Ukrainian drone threats, according to servicemen on the ground. Geran-4 Seeker UAV teams destroyed heavy trucks transporting Ukrainian drones and struck railway locomotives. The Black Sea Fleet eliminated six Ukrainian uncrewed surface vessels. The commander of the 37th Motorised Rifle Regiment's assault detachment (Zapad Group of Forces) detailed combat operations in the Krasny Liman area. Vostok Group servicemen provided details on the liberation of Kopani in the Zaporozhye region. Russian unmanned systems forces struck Ukrainian vehicles and positions across the special military operation zone.

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.

Ukraine says Konstantinovka remains under control

Ukraine's General Staff on Saturday rejected Russia's statement that Russian forces had taken control of Konstantinovka in the Donetsk region, saying the city remains under Ukrainian control, reported Xinhua. Andriy Kovaliov, spokesman for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said information claiming that Russian troops had captured Konstantinovka does not correspond to reality. Based on data from Ukraine's operational monitoring systems, Konstantinovka remains under the control of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, he said, adding that Ukrainian units continue defensive operations in the city and on its outskirts. He said Russian forces are continuing their attempts to seize the city, with small infantry groups infiltrating deep into Ukrainian defensive positions. Ukrainian forces are conducting counter-sabotage operations in the city to detect and eliminate the infiltrating units. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Russian forces had taken control of Konstantinovka, describing its capture as a key step toward the liberation of the Donetsk region.
