Urozhaine is about five miles south of Velkyka Novosilka, and is on the path to the coastal city of Berdiansk on the Sea of Azov.Ĭapturing the port town back from Russian occupation would effectively drive a wedge between Moscow’s forces in the south and east of Ukraine. “The enemy’s plan in this case is obviously: the armed forces of Ukraine intend to pincer the Russian Federation armed forces,” Rybar, an authoritative Russian military blogger, said.Īlexander Khodakovsky, commander of the Russian Vostok battalion, wrote on Telegram: “Ukraine went on the offensive climbing to the outskirts of Staromaiorske and gradually pressing us back, at the same time creating a flank threat to positions on Urozhaine.” His armed forces are now believed to be attempting to attack Urozhaine the west and north of the settlement. President Volodymyr Zelensky celebrated the capture of Staromaiorske, which sits on the Velkyka Novosilka axis of Kyiv’s counter-offensive. Pro-Kremlin sources said the settlement of Urozhaine would be virtually impossible for Moscow’s forces to cling onto after they were forced to surrender in nearby Staromaiorske. Russians fear being caught in a pincer movement as Ukrainian forces advance on a village in the Donetsk region.
