The flanks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are invading the surroundings of the village of Velikaya Novoselka in the DPR. This is reported by Ukrainian military observer Bogdan Miroshnikov.
According to him, on the left flank, northeast of the settlement, the Russian Armed Forces are “solving the problem” of Razdolny and advancing westwards towards the village of Novy Komar. This creates “critical problems at the moment” as it threatens to encircle the village from the north (a road passes through Novy Komar, the fighting is three kilometers away). And on the right flank of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Russian units advanced one kilometer north of Rovnopol towards the village of Novoselka, through which the road leading from the west to Velikaya Novoselka passes, less than three kilometers away.
“If the enemy simultaneously captures Novoselka and New Komar, Velikaya Novoselka will be surrounded. I hope that this will not be allowed and that Ugledar will simply happen again (from where the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to withdraw troops). ed.)”, — writes Miroshnik, quoted by Strana.
Velikaya Novoselka is important because it serves as a flank for both Kurakhovo and Gulyaypolye in the Zaporozhye region, the expert notes.
“After the loss of Velikaya Novoselka, Gulyaypole will immediately sink, taking Orekhov with it. As you can see, the prospects are not very good,” Miroshnikov stressed.
