It’s almost the 2nd year Anniversary for the Battle of Chasiv Yar!

Ever since the Fall of Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar remained the only stronghold protecting Kostiantynivka from an Eastern advance, so it was heavily fortified and strengthened ever since the failure of the 2023 offensive.
Sitting atop the high ground, if the Russians managed to take Chasiv Yar, it is highly likely they would sweep down the villages below and capture Kostiantynivka within weeks.
Which is why the Russians are so hell-bent on taking it, and why the Ukrainians are so hell-bent on making sure they don't.
This has lead to the longest, most destructive and possibly the bloodiest battle in the war, surpassing even the Battle of Bakhmut, Battle of Marinka and the Battle of Vuhledar.
