Russian occupying forces are actively storming Velyka Novosilka and Rozdolne in the Volnovakha district of Donetsk Oblast, according to the DeepState monitoring project.

Russian forces have intensified their assaults on these areas, viewing the capture of Velyka Novosilka as crucial for advancing their military objectives in the region. Control over these settlements would facilitate better access to supply routes and enhance operational capabilities against Ukrainian defenses.

The situation around Velyka Novosilka is extremely dire and continues to deteriorate. The city is the last stronghold in the southern part of Donbas.
