Russian forces have successfully captured the town of Velyka Novosilka, intensifying their control over the Donetsk region amid ongoing conflict. Ukraine's military acknowledged the withdrawal from much of the town but retained a foothold at the northern outskirts. This operation highlights Russia's effective tactic of leveraging numerical superiority to slowly encircle and compel Ukrainian retreat. Major Ivan Sekach of Ukraine's military noted the strategic challenges faced by their forces, exacerbated by the need for logistical support in difficult terrain, indicating a complex battlefield dynamic.
Major Sekach explained that Ukrainian troops were effectively fighting under challenging conditions with a river at their back, complicating logistic operations for supplies and reinforcements.
The recent seizure of Velyka Novosilka, although modest compared to other gains, reflects Russia's relentless strategy of using personnel advantage to trap Ukrainian forces.
