I really can't hold on any longer. On the battlefield of Konstantinovka in northern Donetsk, the Ukrainian troops stationed there were not shattered by Russian artillery fire; rather, they have been forced to surrender due to a lack of food and water, unable to ensure basic subsistence. Many soldiers have reluctantly laid down their weapons, and the frontline positions are gradually becoming passive.

The battlefield predicament in Konstantinovka is developing towards a more severe direction. This transportation hub in northern Donetsk has now become the core area of tug-of-war between Russia and Ukraine, and the challenges faced by the Ukrainian army have long surpassed mere military confrontation.

The Russian armed forces have trapped the stationed Ukrainian 5th Independent Assault Brigade in a dire situation through precise tactical arrangements. The Russian side has invested heavily in FPV drones, combined with reconnaissance systems like Supercam and ZALA, to implement a comprehensive blockade of the Ukrainian army's logistical routes.

Any vehicles and personnel attempting to deliver supplies to the positions will be quickly identified and attacked. This continuous monitoring and assault have caused a complete halt to the supply of materials to the Ukrainian army.

The survival conditions of the soldiers have drastically deteriorated. They have gone days without food and drinking water, and the few remaining compressed biscuits and tap water in the trenches have long been exhausted.

The physical depletion has caused the soldiers to lose their basic combat capabilities, let alone resist the advance of the Russian army. More than 20 Ukrainian soldiers made the choice to surrender in desperation, laying down their weapons to the 33rd Guards Motorized Rifle Division of the Russian Southern Military District. These soldiers are well aware that continuing to hold out would only lead to starvation or dehydration, making surrender the only way out.

Meanwhile, the Russian army's ground offensive has not ceased. Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, previously confirmed that over 60% of the area of Konstantinovka has been controlled by the Russian army.

Street fighting in the northeast continues, and Russian troops have reached the southwestern suburbs and are advancing deep into the city. Subsequently, the Russian “Southern” group forces have wedged into the city from the east while simultaneously launching firepower strikes from the north and south flanks, successfully splitting the Ukrainian forces into two.

The defense system of the Ukrainian army is gradually collapsing. The old Soviet multi-story buildings, originally transformed into independent fortresses, can withstand some drone attacks, but under the Russian army's “grinding” strike tactics, they have become difficult to sustain.

The Russian side first exhausts the Ukrainian army's combat strength through comprehensive firepower, then advances with small groups under the cover of drones and air support, gradually compressing the activity space of the Ukrainian army. Attempts at counterattacks in the Chasov Yar area have not been successful, as the Ukrainian assault teams have consistently faced supply shortages during their advance.

The geographical advantages of the battlefield are continuously tilting towards the Russian side. Konstantinovka, as a key node for supplying the Ukrainian army's Kramatorsk-Slavyansk cluster, has essentially lost its function as a transportation hub.

The continuous strikes by the Russian army on railways, roads, and other transportation facilities have prevented supplies from moving to the frontlines. Even when the Ukrainian frontline command mobilizes reserves for rescue, it is difficult to deliver them smoothly due to the saturation drone attacks by the Russian army.

The morale of the soldiers has been worn down by hunger and despair. They not only face the dilemma of scarce supplies but also endure ongoing psychological pressure.

Communication systems are often interfered with by the Russian army's electronic warfare equipment, causing grassroots units to frequently lose contact with the command center, forcing them to respond passively in a state of information isolation. This isolated and helpless situation has caused more and more soldiers to lose their will to resist.

The battlefield situation in Konstantinovka clearly demonstrates the critical role of logistical support in modern warfare. By cutting off supply lines, the Russian army has caused gaps in the Ukrainian defenses without expending a massive amount of assault efforts. As more positions are lost, the Ukrainian defense system in northern Donetsk is facing the risk of complete collapse. Those who have laid down their weapons describe the brutality of war in the most helpless way, while the chain reaction triggered by the rupture in logistics continues to influence the direction of the battlefield.
