Footage shows the evacuation efforts of the NGO Prolinska in the town, where the attacks have caused major damage to residential buildings.

According to official sources, Kostiantynivka is still home to around 5,000 residents, while the NGO PROLINSKA estimates that between 5,500 and 6,000 people remain in one of eastern Ukraine’s most dangerous frontlines.

Moscow has repeatedly asserted territorial gains in the past months, particularly in Donetsk, where fighting has intensified around Pokrovsk.

Russia started its "special military operation" on Feb. 24, 2022 and claimed that it is aimed at protecting people in the eastern region of Ukraine.

Since then, millions have been displaced, thousands have lost their homes, and hundreds of medical and educational institutions have been destroyed.
