There is currently no threat of encirclement of Velyka Novosilka, - OSTG "Khortytsia"

As long as the operational encirclement of Velyka Novosilka does not pose a threat, the defenders can leave this settlement.

This was reported on air by the spokesperson of the operational-strategic grouping of forces "Khortytsia," Major Viktor Trehubov, on "Suspilne".

He emphasized that fierce battles are currently ongoing in this area, and the situation can develop "in any direction." 

"The distance and coverage there are not sufficient yet," — Trehubov added in response to a thesis about the risk of an operational encirclement.

The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine controls the situation at this location and is considering various options for actions in this direction, as it is critically important.

On the interactive map of DeepState, the so-called "pincers" already can be seen around this village, indicating a semi-encirclement of the settlement. However, the analysts of the project did not make any official statements about this. Such a conclusion can be drawn based on the map.

At this time, the military is also sharing information on their social media pages about the extremely difficult situation there.
