Intense fighting continues in the south of Donetsk region. Russian troops continue to put pressure on the flanks in the area of Velika Novosilka, trying to capture strategically important positions. According to Ukrainian military sources, the enemy is gradually pushing through the defenses and may soon reach the operational encirclement of the city.
This is reported by the Ukrainian military and soldiers.
Thus, a lieutenant of the ZSU with the call sign "Alex" writes that there is a battle in Novoy Komar north of Velika Novosilka, and south of it - in the Blagodatny area - the Russians are "advancing".
"The whole trouble is that the enemy may soon take full control of the flanks around the city, and then everything will be as standard as we have seen before, not a very comforting prospect," he commented.
Military officer Miroshnikov reports similar information.
"Somehow, everything happens very quickly in Velika Novosilka... Not that it was unexpected. But the enemy very quickly breaks through the key points on the flanks. "Unfortunately, the lack of people, shells and drones has a big impact," he wrote.
