Why It Matters
Konstantinovka is an important transportation and industrial center in the Donbas region of Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine have a dispute over control of the place.
A screenshot of a video released by the Russian Ministry of Defense on July 3 this year showed that Russian soldiers showed off the Russian flag in Konstantinovka, a stronghold in eastern Ukraine.
The Kremlin stated on the 13th that as long as appropriate security guarantees can be obtained, Russia is ready to conduct a humanitarian operation to evacuate civilians in the important town of Konstantinovka in eastern Ukraine, following the model of evacuating people from Oreshki, a town in southern Ukraine where a humanitarian crisis broke out last month.
During a call with the media, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also called on the United States to use its influence over Ukraine to prompt the Kiev authorities to agree to carry out the operation.
In July this year, the Russian army claimed to have seized control of Konstantinovka, but this was immediately denied by the Ukrainian side, saying that although the situation there was serious, it was still under the control of the Ukrainian army. Konstantinovka has important strategic significance and is an important transportation and large-scale industrial center in the Udonbas region.
