In a desperate attempt to regain momentum after failing to encircle Kurakhove, Russian forces shifted their offensive westward to Velyka Novosilka. Their goal: to breach Ukrainian defenses and disrupt critical supply lines. However, predictable attack routes, exposed formations, and logistical strain left Russian troops vulnerable to Ukraine’s adaptive defenses and precise countermeasures. Despite repeated attempts, Russian forces have been unable to secure their objectives, highlighting the growing limitations of their operational capacity and the resilience of Ukrainian defenses in this key battleground.
