Intense fighting continues in the south of Donetsk region. Russian troops continue to press on the flanks in the area of Velyka Novoselka, trying to seize 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 military corps.
Thus, a lieutenant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign "Alex" writes that a battle is taking place in Novy Komar, north of Velyka Novosilka, and south of it - in the Blagodatne area - the Russians "are making progress.".
"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, which is not a very encouraging prospect," he commented.
Military Commissioner Miroshnikov also reports similar information.
"Somehow everything is happening very quickly in Velika Novoselka... Not that it was unexpected. But the enemy is very quickly breaking through key points on the flanks. The lack of people, shells, and drones is having a big impact, unfortunately," he wrote.
