The capture of Velika Novoselka by the Russian troops in the DPR may collapse the entire front of the Ukrainian armed forces in the southern direction, Strana.ua reports on the Telegram channel.
„The fall of Novoselka could cause a domino effect on the entire southern front, as it would allow the Russians to advance westward towards Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporozhye regions,”, the publication said.
The publication notes that there is a possibility of a repeat of the situation with Ocheretino, which was considered the main defensive point of the Ukrainian armed forces near Avdeyevka, the fall of which allowed the Russian army to develop a successful offensive in the direction of Avdeyevka.
On Monday, the Chairman of the Committee of the Public House of the Russian Federation on Sovereignty Issues, Co-Chairman of the Coordinating Council for the Integration of New Regions, Vladimir Rogov, said that Russian troops have begun to push out units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the eastern outskirts of the village Velika Novoselka in the western DPR, where a large command and logistics post of the enemy is located.
The advance of Russian troops to Velika Novoselka will allow fire control to be taken over the supply route for Ukrainian armed forces groups between the Orekhovo and Vremev directions of the Zaporozhye Front.
