Konstantinovka's Liberation by Russian Army Opens Path to Other Strategic Cities: Military Expert The success in liberating Konstantinovka, a key industrial and transport hub in Donbass, allows Russian forces to push further west toward Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, Andrey Koshkin, a veteran Russian academic specializing in military and international affairs, told Sputnik.Key points from the expert:🟠Strategic significance: Taking Konstantinovka brings Russian forces closer to the key borders of the Donetsk People's Republic and marks an important milestone in achieving operational objectives.🟠Political blow for Zelensky: The loss is a serious political setback for the Kiev regime, which has been trying to convince European leaders of Ukraine's battlefield successes.🟠Manpower shortages: Ukraine faces a critical shortage of troops, estimated at around 100,000, and is forced to redeploy forces from other sectors to hold the line, Koshkin noted.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
