Russian troops are solidifying their presence in the village of Kalynove in Donetsk Oblast as they prepare for an advance toward Stara Mykolaivka and the road to Kostiantynivka, Ukrainian monitoring group DeepState reported on April 18.<\/p>\n

Russian forces are deploying infantry and establishing logistical routes and communication lines in Kalynove, according to DeepState<\/a>. <\/p>\n

There has been a notable slowdown in Russia\u2019s offensive operations after months of steady territorial gains across eastern Ukraine. According to a DeepState report from April 1, Russian troops captured<\/a> just 133 square kilometers in March \u2013 the lowest monthly total since June 2024.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian soldiers operating in the area reported an overwhelming presence of Russian drones<\/a> in the area of Kalynove, according to DeepState. New Russian drone crews, previously active in battles in Russia\u2019s Kursk<\/a> Oblast, have arrived to the area, the group said.<\/p>\n

Russian forces are attempting to disrupt Ukrainian logistics and are now able to operate drones deep enough to reach Kostiantynivka, the report added.<\/p>\n

Kostiantynivka is a city in Donetsk Oblast with a pre-war population of 67,000 people. The city has been one of the key logistical hubs for the Ukrainian military in Donetsk Oblast since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. It is currently located about 10 kilometers (6 miles) southwest of the front line in Chasiv Yar. <\/p>\n

On April 19, the General Staff of Ukraine\u2019s Armed Forces<\/a> reported that Russian forces launched<\/a> 54 assault operations in the Pokrovsk sector \u2013 about 35 kilometers east of Kalynove \u2013 over the last day.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said<\/a> on April 17 that Russia<\/a> would likely make several attempts to launch offensives in Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. \u201cAnd possibly in the east, because they have not attacked there for a long time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
