Kiev lost his “last trench” in southern Donbass
The Moscow Defense Ministry reported that Russian forces seized the city of Volika Nawoselka in Donetsk. The city, previously regarded as the “last fortress” in the south of Donbass, was one of the main components of the Ukrainian defensive line in the area and served as the main logistics center for Ukrainian soldiers.
According to RCO News Agency, Volika Nawosleka, one of the axes of Vermuka Loj, was a string of villages in the western Donetsk that the Ukrainian army had made them a major defensive position. The area saw a conflict during the unsuccessful counterattack in Ukraine in the summer of Ukraine, when several local settlements were occupied by Kiev.
On November 7, Russian forces launched a major attack in the area and eventually succeeded in besieging Nawoselka in January, after which was dominated by several smaller settlements in the southwest and the village of New Kumar in the north. .
Earlier this week, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the Russian forces began attacking the trench by infiltrating the Ukrainian defense position in the city. The ministry also released a video showing that Russian forces, with the support of drones and artillery, are attacked by Valikaya Noosleka and raised the Russian flag over a building in downtown.
Later on Sunday, the Russian army released another video of what was said to have been the result of the battle for Valika Nawoselka. This clip shows Russian soldiers walking in the city and standing on top of the buildings as they raise the flags.
Russian forces have been in the phase of the attack since the capture of the strategic city of Avadiuka in February. According to Russian Chief of Staff General Valerie Grassimov, they are constantly advancing and pushed Ukrainian forces back from almost five settlements last year.
Valika Nawosleka was one of the few large cities left in Donetsk under the control of Kiev. Other cases include Pokarovsk, located 2 kilometers northeast, Slaviansk and Kramatorsk. Pokarovsk was once the main center of logistics for Ukraine’s front line, but part of the front line itself is the front line and the Russian forces continue to advance to the west.
