Ukrainian troops in the Novopavlovsk direction are under threat of encirclement. About this reported Viktor Tregubov, spokesman for the Khortytsia Operational-Strategic Group of Forces, on the air of the national telethon.
“Velika Novosilka is currently in a rather difficult situation. Ukrainian soldiers are doing everything to prevent the enemy from advancing further. There is no complete encirclement there. There is a risk of operational encirclement, but efforts are being made to prevent it and to prevent the Russians from blocking the approaches to the village. although they are trying to bring them under fire control.” Tregubov noted.
He noted that the river flowing through Velika Novosilka creates significant obstacles for the maneuvering of our troops, complicating the defense of the settlement. However, the Armed Forces are actively developing strategies to overcome these natural limitations.
The officer emphasized that the main problem in this direction is the significant numerical advantage of the enemy:
“They constantly, in one way or another, carry out rotations, “replenish” personnel, replenish the forces that are already stationed there, they still have this resource. It is not as much in excess as it was before, they somehow started to save it or not for the first time during the war, especially in the Pokrovsky direction, but this does not mean that they are now in trouble in this regard. It simply means that they are not, so to speak, “bathing” in redundant resource”.
