A military observer called Konstantinovka a difficult target to storm

Konstantinovka is a "complex object" that opens the way to the Kramatorsk–Slavyansk agglomeration. This was reported to Izvestia on July 4 by military observer Daniil Bezsonov.

"This is a very complex city with serious buildings. <...> There are many multi—storey buildings, there is also a factory area," he said.

According to Bezsonov, the Russian military personnel who liberated the settlement on July 3 carried out tasks in extremely difficult conditions.

The expert stressed that the significance of the incident should not be underestimated, and expressed gratitude to all the servicemen who participated in the operation, calling it extremely difficult.
