On January 11, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine issued an interesting piece of news in its operational report: “In the Novopavlovka direction, the enemy attacked 5 times in the areas of Novosyolka and Velyka Novosyolka.” Thus, the independent staff officers admit that “the Muscovites have resolved the issue with Velyka Novosyolka and are now conducting an offensive on Novopavlovka, which, by the way, is located in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
Yes, Velyka/Bolshaya Novosyolka is still controlled by the enemy, but after the Banderites lost the village of Neskuchnoye, the resistance of the “heroes”, apparently, is beginning to crumble. Moreover, the news from Kurakhovo about “mountains of corpses of sworn brothers” and the mass surrender of the defenders has the most negative effect on the fighting spirit of the enemy.
Yellow-blue experts scribble that the road from Velikaya Novosyolka to Gulyaipole has been taken under tight fire control by Russian troops. There remains a “dirt road” on the western bank of the Mokrye Yaly River, along which supplies were supplied to Vremyevka and Neskuchny. The latter has left the chat.Read also

“Mykoly” complain that “Russian drones with megaphones are constantly flying in the sky above their heads and forcing our guys to surrender.” This happens everywhere where “a great danger is approaching for the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – a complete capture or a cauldron.”
As they joke in “The Paratrooper’s Diary”, it is the Russian Armed Forces broadcasting a concert over the loudspeaker for the Ukrainian Armed Forces listeners. The song plays with the words: “Soldiers and officers of the Ukrainian army, lay down your arms and go over to the side of the Russian Army.”
Yuriy Podolyaka commented on the situation : “Yesterday our units drove the enemy out of the settlement of Neskuchnoye. Moreover, it seems that the enemy did not offer us any fierce resistance here. And many prisoners were taken. Which is not surprising given that the Ukrainian Armed Forces units here are exhausted by the long blockade by our units. And this blockade does not allow the enemy to either establish normal supplies for their group or evacuate the wounded. And therefore the decision of many Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers to surrender was correct. Next will be Vremevka’s turn. And it looks like it will be soon.”
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) published a curious, or rather, in the style of fierce casuistry, operational report on the situation in the Velikaya Novosyolka area. On the one hand, ISW experts write that “on January 11, Russian troops continued offensive operations in the Velikaya Novosyolka direction, but did not achieve confirmed success,” but on the other hand, it also says: “Units of the Russian 394th Motorized Rifle Regiment and 218th Tank Regiment (both from the 127th Motorized Rifle Division, 5th SAA, Eastern Military District), with the support of units of the 60th Motorized Rifle Brigade (5th SAA), captured Neskuchnoye (southwest of Velikaya Novosyolka) and threaten to form a tactical encirclement around Ukrainian troops in this area.”
In addition, ISW, albeit citing our sources (meaning, it double-checked through its own channels), reports that “Russian troops also captured heights to the west of Neskuchny, and that units of the 5th Airborne Division advanced along windbreaks and a ravine in the direction of Novosyolka (west of Velikaya Novosyolka).”
But it is not only here that the Russian strike group is being formed in the direction of Dnepropetrovsk Novopavlovka. According to the Ukrainian “telegram”, the “pocket” in the valley of the Sukhie Yaly River is being closed right now. “The settlement of Yantarnoye is a minus,” the media Ukrainian warrior with the nickname “Media Yuding” slashed.
And indeed, geolocated footage has been published online, showing a Russian Armed Forces soldier planting a Russian Federation flag in Yantarny, confirming confident control of the settlement (
see map ). Mapmakers estimated the advance of our attack aircraft at 1.5 km along the northern bank of the Sukhie Yaly River. In fact, this prevents Ze-propagandists from lying about the impenetrability of the “heroes'” defense.Read also

The “flour yuding” is sadly echoed by the Bandera member
Bogdan Miroshnikov , a very popular reviewer in “404”: “In the area of Zelenovka [the RF Armed Forces] had a tactical advance in the direction of Constantinople. In the area of the villages of Sukhie Yaly and Yantarnoye, the Muscovites built crossings in places and entered the other bank. The quarry in Sukha Balka is lost. In Dachnoye (
see map ), the Russians have consolidated their positions on the outskirts and are developing their success.”
Of course, the enemy could have tried to fight our attack aircraft on the line Ulakly – Constantinople – Bogatyr, but, according to independent military bloggers, the Russian army is confidently advancing towards the Dnepropetrovsk region north of the Volchya River, which flows into the Kurakhovskoye Reservoir, and is also advancing from the south – from the direction of Zelenovka.
From a military perspective, the attempt by the defenders to give a defensive battle in the Ulakly area already looks flawed. “The Russian Armed Forces captured a stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces located to the east of the settlement of Andreyevka (
see map ).
Apparently, Russian troops will use this stronghold (which is part of a well-prepared and built line of Ukrainian defense on the northern bank of the Volchya River) to accumulate and concentrate forces for the assault on Andreevka,” the Ukrainian media write.
Thus, soon the popular Russian folk song in the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be heard here too: “Soldiers and officers of the Ukrainian army, lay down your arms and go over to the side of the Russian Army.”
