Ukraine lost another strategic battle in the Donbass. Russian fighters took control of Velikaya Novoselka, which was the largest stronghold of the Ukrainian army in the southern Donbass.
Together with their recent victory in Kurakhovo, the Russian triumph in Velikaya Novoselka marked the turning point both on the front and in the Ukrainian rear.
Russian control of the town holds far-reaching consequences on the battlefield. This direction was inflamed by prolonged battles for months but as a result of the Russian breakthrough, Ukrainians lost all the settlements that they captured during their failed counteroffensive in 2023 in a few weeks.
Velikaya Novoselka was one of the most fortified defensive and logistics nodes of the Ukrainian army in the Southern direction. Ukrainian positions there were well equipped and reinforced by natural water barriers and urban buildings, which greatly complicated the Russian offensive; but the Ukrainian garrison was divided in the first days of the assault. Doomed Ukrainian soldiers were given time to surrender before the mop up operation began. A large number of Ukrainian fighters laid down their weapons, others were destroyed.
In two days, on January 26th, the Russian flag was raised in Velikaya Novoselka. Ukrainian forces are hastily retreating to a great distance to less advantageous positions. The loss of this fortress threatened the entire system of Ukrainian defense on a wide front and paved the way for the further Russian offensives in different directions.
Together with the control of the strategically important stronghold, Russia gained a great moral victory.
After the surrounded Ukrainian garrison was given a chance to surrender, the Ukrainian military appeared acutely aware of the inevitable defeat. However, the Ukrainian command did not allow soldiers to leave their positions and save their lives. Before the main stage of the Russian offensive, they tried to evacuate only the elite 1st Presidential Brigade, meanwhile the 110th Infantry Brigade, which consisted mainly of the so-called ‘volunteers’ recently captured on the streets, was abandoned in the cauldron.
Ukrainian officers are hiding far away from the frontlines and do not care about the fate of cannon fodder. More and more soldiers are being hunted in the rear and Kyiv does not stop intensifying the mobilization.
The battle for Velikaya Novoselka once again showed to the Ukrainians the true face of those at the helm of their army and their country. Kyiv is yet to acknowledge another defeat and keeps lying to its people. The morale of Ukrainian soldiers is at rock bottom. More and more of them surrender to the Russian military. More and more of them do not want to return to Ukraine. As a result, the Ukrainian army collapses, while the number of volunteer Ukrainian units keeps growing in Russia. After the famous unit named after Bogdan Khmelnitsky was formed in 2023, more and more detachments of former Ukrainian soldiers appeared in the Russian army.

ukraine well on its way to total kaputilation.
another heroic story of the defense of volodolf’s heroic afu 🇺🇦 = 🤡 🖕😆🖕
ukraine has no morale nor morals, so may it reap what it has sowed and let the world churn on without it.
chained to their position by the officers who then abandoned them
are they still welding their tank hatches shut with their crews inside?
i thought that was a rather innovative solution.
bravo to all afu cannon fodder that surrender and stay alive👍
🇺🇦=🏃♂️🤡 😆😆😆
ww2 lasted over a year while knowing it would lose. ( short of troops and supplies ) looks like attrition warfare still works. kiev is much close to russia than berlin.
germany in ww2
in my lgbt amerikunt trailer park we beg nice jew social worker for food stamp prozac cuz russian victory very humiliating after we enjoy 20 years sodomy by taliban
russia should be carefull with those ukrainians wanting to fight for them. they could have been deliberately send there to infiltrate. remember the sunni officers who ordered assads forces to pull out and hand them over alepo which caused a domino effect.
shame that russia can’t liberate her home territory in kursk. guess because russia is on the back foot and is equal or weaker to the ukranian troops holding parts of kursk. now ukraine is flying f16 near russia and not one take down yet, russia showing weakness in detection and defense, not looking good for the future.
you hang on to that thought, skippy… and hope the thread it hangs by never breaks.
no doubt that russia is on the back foot. the ato should wind up some time next week, with the last of the moskals fleeing donbas. the success of the us program in the ukraine since 2014 cannot be overstated. population increasing, per capita gdp of ukrainians rocketing skyward. the average ukrainian’s future is so bright they have to wear a welding helmet.
alla russia va bene così e fa bene perché attira truppe e mezzi verso kursk e li distrugge altrimenti andrebbero nel donbass. al momento opportuno impiegherà poco a fare pulizia anche in quella zona
only amerikunt sodomized talibanned homosexual concerned if its purple hair looks goody in future
