< p>Russian troops may have taken control of the village of Novoaleksandrovka in the Donetsk region. This poses a threat to one of the main supply routes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the east. This is stated in the latest report of the British Ministry of Defense, published on the social network H.
"There is information that Russian forces have taken control of the village of Novoaleksandrovka, located about 20 km north of Avdeevka, Donetsk region. The area is the scene of heavy fighting in 2024 and Russia has been gradually advancing since the capture of Avdeyevka in February 2024," the British MoD report said.
It is noted that the capture of Novoaleksandrovka will allow Russian troops to approach the T-05-04 road, which is one of the main supply routes for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the east.
