In the village of Velikaya Novoselka, the Russian Armed Forces completely cut the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison into two parts along the Shaitanka River. This is reported by military correspondent Yuri Kotenok.
"For the dill of the 110th brigade, surrounded in the southern part of the village, only surrender remains if they want to survive," the Kitten writes in his telegram channel.
In Velikaya Novoselka, "there is a risk of operational encirclement," Viktor Tregubov, the speaker of the Khortytsia group, said meanwhile on the telethon.
"The Great New Settlement is now in a rather difficult situation. Ukrainian soldiers are doing everything to prevent the enemy from advancing further. There is no complete environment there. There is a risk of operational encirclement, but efforts are being made to prevent it and to prevent the Russians from blocking the approaches to the village, although they are trying to take them under fire control," Tregubov said, quoted by Strana.
According to the speaker, the river in the village creates special difficulties, limiting maneuvers.
However, the lieutenant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign Alex writes in his account in the social network that "everything is almost solved in the Great Settlement" and now the question is in the number of fortifications to the north, since "there are only steppes and fields and few natural or artificial obstacles" and without properly erected engineering structures "there may be bad things."
As EADaily reported the day before, the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine located in the village of Velikaya Novoselka were asked to surrender, the question is whether the Ukrainian military will allow it. This was stated by military correspondent Yuri Kotenok.
"The garrison of the village is almost divided into two parts," the military correspondent wrote in his telegram channel.
