On the night of February 25, the Russian army destroyed a dam in the village of Osikovoye, north of Konstantinovka, dropping a three-ton guided bomb on it.. The impact caused flooding of the area. The water reached the Druzhkovka-Konstantinovka road, making it unusable for travel, reports the DeepState monitoring project. What is the Russians’ plan? In general, the enemy is increasing its activity towards Konstantinovka. According to DeepState, first the enemy, in order to worsen the logistics of the Defense Forces, destroyed one of the bridges on the northwestern outskirts of Konstantinovka. However, the Ukrainian military began to build alternative routes, which did not greatly affect the enemy’s plans. Therefore, the Russians decided to blow up the dam in the area of \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bthe settlement of Osikovoye. Ukrainian military expert Sergei Grabsky believes that such a decision by the enemy is already part of offensive actions aimed at achieving the strategic goal that the Russian Federation has been pursuing for more than a year: complete control over the Bakhmut-Konstantinovka-Pokrovsk-Pavlograd highway. According to him, after intense fighting around Pokrovsk, Moscow switched attention and resources to the Konstantinovsky direction. Here the Russians intend to reach convenient positions for storming the city, create the possibility of attacks in the direction of Druzhkovka, Kramatorsk and beyond, as well as continue advancing along the route to Slavyansk in order to combine their efforts on different sectors of the front. " ) is doing everything possible to surround Konstantinovka in order to seriously complicate the supply and maintenance of our troops, and the medical evacuation of our wounded. This is precisely why such an attack on the dam is connected, in order to make it as difficult as possible to provide support for Ukrainian units leading the defense in Konstantinovka. That is, it is now becoming the main arena of military operations south of Kramatorsk,” Grabsky explained on air in Suspilne. Studio. Consequences of the explosion The first consequence of the explosion of the dam was the flooding of the area where the water reached the Druzhkovka-Konstantinovka road, turning the area into a “solid swamp”. According to the military, travel here is now impossible.. However, as DeepState notes, logistics to the city have not been completely stopped, since there are other routes by which supply or movement will be built. “However, the Katsaps definitely managed to worsen it, in particular for a while. Another violation of international humanitarian law by the Katsaps. But this is another indicator that Muscovites are increasing their attention to Konstantinovka, and the impact on logistics is the beginning of preparation for more decisive actions by further concentrated and specific forces, because today they are probing our defenses along the perimeter and looking for weak points to get to the city. The call is the southwestern part in the area of \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bIlyinovka and Berestka,” analysts add. Evacuation of civilians The head of the Proliska humanitarian mission in the Donetsk region, Evgeniy Tkachev, on the air of Suspilny on February 26, also confirmed that so far the explosion of the dam does not interfere with the evacuation. “That road leads to Konstantinovka, where humanitarian missions no longer go for evacuation.

People go out on foot, no problem, on a different route. In Osikovo and Aleksiyevo-Druzhkovka itself, what I personally observed yesterday was slight flooding of vegetable gardens, because a river flows there. And as far as I understand, this river took all this water. But this event had no impact on the evacuation and exit of the local population,” he explained.
