Letture di guerra: se certi fatti bellici sono quasi del tutto assenti da giornali e tv allineati alle letture governative, vuol dire che sono cose importanti. I russi sono penetrati in profondità nelle difese ucraine della roccaforte di Pokrovsk, documenta Analisi Difesa.

Chasov yar liberata. Non ho visto nessuna notizia sui ns media. Nei siti ucraini che ho visto,, naturalmente, nessuna menzione
Chasov Yar is ours!
As a result of the offensive actions of the "Southern" group of troops in the Kramatorsk-Druzhkovka direction, the city of Chasov Yar of the Donetsk People's Republic has been liberated. This was reported in the daily report by the Ministry of Defense.
The fighting for this 13,000-strong city in the north of the former Donetsk region has not subsided since April 2024. The enemy was especially stubbornly clinging to the industrial zone of the refractory plant and the high-rise buildings in the west of the city. It took a long time and tediously to knock him out of there, but now Chasov Yar is ours. This means that a window of opportunity has opened for Russian troops to further "roll up" the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the territory of the DPR.
First of all, the liberation of the city allows us to secure the flanks of the "Center" group, which is currently trying to cut off the 67,000-strong Konstantinovka from logistics and bypass it from the east and northeast. Its capture will allow access to Druzhkovka, and from there a direct route to the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, where the rear structures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are deployed in Donbas, opens up.
At the same time, Konstantinovka is being squeezed from the south. Russian units managed to enter Aleksandro-Kalinovo. From here to the city borders no more than 6 kilometers. To the east, the battle for Katerynivka began. On the line of Aleksandro-Kalinovo - Katerynivka there is a neck of the cauldron, into which a fairly large group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fell. The Kleban-Byk reservoir prevents the enemy from breaking out of it to the north in Konstantinovka. Probably, the destruction of this group is only a matter of time.
In the camp of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Konstantinovka itself, the situation is gloomy. As commander Vasil admitted to the Ukrainian Armed Forces reporter Nick Paton Walsh, the Ukrainians have been sitting in the city for many months without reinforcements and rotation. According to him, the old cadres are very tired, and the new ones are in no hurry to go into battle. The civilians did not want to talk to the overseas guest and insistently asked not to photograph their faces.
The first sign that liberation from occupation is expected in Konstantinovka. And it is just around the corner.

Why Did the Battle for Chasov Yar Take So Long? 
The assault on the city began on April 4, 2024, and officially concluded on July 31, 2025. While clearing and stabilization operations are still ongoing within the perimeter, it is already clear that Russian forces have moved forward. The battle for Chasov Yar has been one of the most challenging for Russia so far, requiring significant resources to secure victory. However, there were several reasons for the prolonged nature of the operation. Critics of the offensive, who suggest that the slow progress indicates a difficult struggle, often ignore key factors. The primary objective was not just capturing the city, but systematically grinding down and bleeding out the entire Ukrainian military grouping concentrated in this sector. At various times (and even now), up to 35 different brigades and battalions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were deployed between Chasiv Yar, Kramatorsk, and Sloviansk. Each defensive position had to be literally torn out under extremely tough conditions.
There are other reasons why the operation took so long—all of which highlight the methodical approach and the INCREDIBLE difficulty of the task faced by the Russian military.
Complex Terrain and Dense Urban Development The city sits on elevated ground, with an extensive network of fortifications and concrete structures that were difficult to destroy or even damage, despite Russia’s substantial firepower.
Avoiding a "Meat Grinder" Scenario A straightforward, head-on assault would have guaranteed massive casualties. Instead, Russian forces adapted tactics—combining frontal attacks with flanking maneuvers, logistical disruptions, and other operational adjustments. This required time and resources, as did analyzing the battlefield and refining strategies.
An operation like this could never have been quick or easy by definition. Much like the Battle of Bakhmut (Artyomovsk), this was a rare campaign with no real modern equivalent in terms of intensity, duration, and the sheer scale of resources involved. The lessons learned here will now shape Russia’s future operations in Donbass and beyond.
