The Ukrainian military, trapped in a cauldron near the village of Bolshaya Novoselka, ignored the offer of the Russian command to surrender, and therefore last night our troops launched an assault.
This was reported on Friday morning, January 24 by blogger and military observer Yuri Podolyaka. He recalled that the day before our command had given the opportunity to surrender to the soldiers of the 110th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who remained in the village, surrounded in Bolshaya Novoselka.
"The enemy ignored this opportunity, and therefore by night the assault began. Fighting and mopping up are going on in all parts of the village. The places that the enemy controls here are no longer there," the expert said.
According to him, it is not yet possible to talk about how long the cleansing of the settlement will last. The village is large, there are a lot of enemy soldiers surrounded in it. And many intend to fight to the end.
According to unconfirmed reports, there are about 1,500 AFU fighters and foreign mercenaries in the boiler. They were completely surrounded after our troops closed the ring in the area of the Kashlagach River, cutting off the enemy's escape routes.
Earlier, EADaily reported that the Russian side issued an ultimatum to the Ukrainian group in Velikaya Novoselka, Donetsk People's Republic. The encircled Ukrainian units of the 110th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were asked to stop resistance and surrender.
