Fighting for Velyka Novosilka

Recall that heavy fighting is ongoing in the village of Velyka Novosilka in the Donetsk region. The situation has escalated over the past few weeks.

It was previously reported that there is a threat of operational encirclement of troops in Velyka Novosilka. However, the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade noted that despite the fighting in Velyka Novosilka, the enemy's advance may slow down further due to geographical barriers.
