Recently, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have advanced on several fronts at once. However, despite the intense pressure and the enemy’s superiority in manpower, the Ukrainian military is disrupting the preparations for offensive actions by the occupiers, so the Russians have not achieved new tactical successes.

This is reported by analysts of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). In particular, the Ukrainian military achieved success in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area, located in the Donetsk region.

Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters have advanced in the southern part of Kostyantynivka. At the same time, the Defense Forces are countering Russian artillery training in the Kostyantynivka direction.

In addition, Ukrainian units held positions or advanced in the Novopavlivka direction. Referring to geolocation footage, ISW experts note that Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters are present in the central part of Novopavlivka, in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

As a reminder, over the last two weeks of February 2026, Ukrainian defenders liberated more territory than they lost. This happened for the first time since the summer counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2023.

OBOZ.UA also reported that Ukrainian servicemen carried out two separate offensives in the Dnipropetrovsk region and advanced 10–12 kilometers deep into enemy positions. Thus, since the end of January 2026, more than 400 square kilometers of territory have been liberated as a result of these actions. Moreover, the military operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this region is still ongoing.
