January 24, 2025In the southwest of the Donetsk region, in Velyka Novosilka, the southern section of the Ukrainian defense has been cut off from the northern part.
This was reported by a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) with the callsign “Muchnoy” on his Telegram channel, where he shared a map of the ongoing combat operations.
According to him, the enemy is currently advancing toward the center of the settlement, maintaining control over most of the right bank. The remaining AFU defensive positions are being “heavily shelled with Grad rockets” by Russian forces.
“There are losses on our side, and they are very significant. There is video evidence of this from enemy cameras. Soon the settlement will be in dire straits, and how many will make it out alive is known only to the gods,” Muchnoy wrote.
Earlier, Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the “Khortytsia” group, stated that reinforcements would be sent to the Pokrovske direction, as there is “a risk of operational encirclement” in Velyka Novosilka.
