Russia claimed it had captured the city of Kostiantynivka, but the announcement was quickly challenged by Ukraine and contradicted by battlefield reports. Shortly after Vladimir Putin declared victory, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy publicly invited him to visit the supposedly “captured” city, exposing the gap between the Kremlin’s claims and reality. Military analysts also questioned the Russian narrative, noting that there was no evidence Russia had taken full control of Kostiantynivka despite the official announcements.
