Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have denied Russia's claim that it captured Kostiantynivka in Donetsk Oblast yesterday.
The Ukrainian authorities maintain that the area remains under their control and are providing no evidence to support Russia's assertion.
The denial comes as tensions continue to rise in the region, with both sides accusing each other of violating ceasefire agreements and engaging in military operations.

The claim and denial highlight the ongoing conflict and the lack of transparency in the region, with both sides presenting conflicting narratives.
