DeepState, a Ukrainian group of military analysts, reported on the night of 2829 January that Russian troops had occupied the settlement of Velyka Novosilka and advanced in several other settlements in Donetsk Oblast.
Source DeepState Quote The enemy has occupied Velyka Novosilka and also advanced near Pishchane, Nadiivka, Andriivka and Baranivka.
Background The Institute for the Study of War ISW assessed that the Russian Ministry of Defence MoD is paying an unusually high amount of attention to the capture of Velyka Novosilka, which may indicate that the Russian Federation wants to shape the Wests perception of the situation on the battlefield and weaken international support for Ukraine.
In addition, the likely capture of Velyka Novosilka and the redeployment of Russian units will indicate the direction of the Russian offensive in the spring and summer.
On the night of 2627 January, DeepState reported that Russian troops had occupied the village of Vremivka and almost captured Velyka Novosilka in Donetsk Oblast.
On 24 January, Russian forces released footage from the central streets of Velyka Novosilka.
DeepState analysts believe the battle for the settlement is nearing its end.
On 23 January, reports indicated that there was a risk of an operational encirclement of Ukrainian troops near Velyka Novosilka on the Novopavlivka front.
