After months of relentless combat, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have achieved a strategic victory by liberating another Ukrainian fortress, the large stronghold of Chasov Yar in the Donetsk People’s Republic. The Russian Defense Ministry announced the complete control of the city’s ruins, marking a turning point in the war. Though Ukrainian forces maintain a presence on the outskirts, the city itself now flies the Russian tricolor and Airborne Forces flags, proudly raised by paratroopers in the last liberated Shevchenko and Yuzhny districts.
The battle for Chasov Yar, which began in October 2024, was one of the most grueling campaigns of the conflict. Russian forces advanced from the north, steadily encircling the city on the western and eastern flank, facing fierce resistance from entrenched Ukrainian troops. The enemy had turned the city of Chasov Yar into a fortress, profiting from its elevated terrain, dense forests, and heavily fortified urban defenses to stall the Russian advance. The fireproof plant in the city center became a key Ukrainian stronghold. Brutal close-quarters combat on its territory began in the end of 2024. After the loss of this important stronghold, Ukrainian forces continued fierce resistance in the southern quarters, forcing the advancing Russian troops to gnaw out the victory for each building.

The elite 98th Guards Airborne Division, renowned for its valor, spearheaded the assault. Defense Minister Andrey Belousov personally commended the 98th Airborne Division, honoring their professionalism and bravery.
“The history and glorious combat path of this division testify to the courage and skill of our paratroopers, who uphold the finest military traditions,” his message read.
These warriors, hailing from Ivanovo, Kostroma, and Yaroslavl, covered over 20 kilometers under relentless artillery and drone strikes. Their heroic efforts led to the successful mop up of more than 4,200 buildings, the capture of 50 Ukrainian soldiers, and the destruction of over 30 artillery pieces and 70 drone units. Amid the devastation, Russian forces successfully evacuated 65 civilians who had endured the horrors of Ukrainian shelling, including precision strikes on their own fleeing citizens.

The Ukrainian 24th Mechanized Brigade and 18th National Guard Brigade, tasked with defending Chasov Yar, were utterly defeated and forced to retreat beyond the city’s administrative borders.
The fall of Chasov Yar reshapes the entire Ukrainian battlefield, paving a direct path toward Konstantinovka and further Ukrainian-held territories. Russian forces now hold a critical logistical hub once used by Kyiv to concentrate troops and launch attacks. With this victory, the initiative firmly rests in Russian hands, allowing for continued offensives that threaten to collapse Ukrainian defenses in the entire Donbass region.
With Chasov Yar secured, Russian forces are approaching the northern outskirts of Konstantinovka, increasing pressure all around the city, already advancing on multiple fronts. Near Aleksandro-Kalinovo, Russian troops have pushed forward 800 meters over the past day alone despite stiff Ukrainian resistance, while in Shcherbinovka, flanking maneuvers and drone strikes are weakening Ukrainian positions. Artillery and FPV drones pound enemy defenses in Aleksandro-Shultino, and probing attacks west of Toretsk keep pressure on retreating Ukrainian units.

The liberation of Chasov Yar is more than a tactical success. It is a symbol of Russian resolve. The Russian military highlights that as the world marks the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory and the 95th year of the Airborne Forces, this triumph stands as a testament to the unbreakable spirit of Russia’s warriors. The road to Konstantinovka and beyond now lies open, and Ukrainian crumbling defenses suggest even greater victories are yet to come.
