23.01.2025 - 15:36Ukrainian Armed Forces facing serious challenges near Velyka Novosilka, risk of encirclement looms.
The threat of operational encirclement has been acknowledged by Viktor Trehubov, the spokesperson for the “Khortytsia” military command group of the Ukrainian army.
“The most difficult areas, such as Velyka Novosilka and the Pokrovske direction, are under constant monitoring. The situation is currently dynamic and challenging. (…) [In Velyka Novosilka] there is also a river that cuts through the settlement, making maneuvering somewhat inconvenient,” said the military spokesperson.
He added that the command is preparing a plan in case of a worsening tactical situation but did not specify what scenarios are being considered.
Earlier reports indicated that the 110th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Velyka Novosilka has been encircled. It is noted that the Russian command has given the Ukrainian forces time and directions to surrender. However, the Ukrainian brigade has not responded to the call to surrender and continues to hold its positions.
