The United Kingdom confirms "rapid advances" by Russia towards Velika Novosilka, axis of Ukrainian defense in the east

MADRID Dec. 1 () –

British Military Intelligence has confirmed that Russian forces are making “rapid advances” towards the town of Velika Novosilka, in eastern Ukraine.

London remembers that the city has been on the front line since 2022 and is a “central axis” of Ukraine’s defensive line, which recovered part of the territory south of the city as part of its 2023 counteroffensive.

The latest assessment by British Intelligence, published this Sunday, indicates that Russian forces are advancing towards the eastern flank of the town, which has been in a “vulnerable situation” since the Russian conquest of the town of Vuhledar, 30 kilometers to the east. in October.

The loss of Vuhledar has meant that Russia has since managed to advance towards less defended areas of the Donetsk region, attacking from the rear Ukrainian defensive lines that were believed to be consolidated and threatening the main logistical routes to the city.
