The Russians have taken control of Yasna Polyana, located southwest of Kurakhove, reports a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the callsign «Muchnyi».
This was previously mentioned by Russian sources.
He also notes that in the neighboring Novoukrainka, only the northern part of the settlement remains under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In addition, «Muchnyi» reports on the advance of the Russian army west of Bohoyavlenka - in his opinion, this is being done to create a threat of encirclement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine units in Novoukrainka.
Yasna Polyana and Novoukrainka are located on the way to Konstyantynople, which is situated on the highway leading from the west to Kurakhove.
