A military engagement between the Russian Armed Forces and Ukrainian Armed Forces for control over the Ukrainian town of Velyka Novosilka and the nearby area began in November 2024.

Background

[edit]
See also: War in Donbas, Battle of Donbas (2022), and Russian occupation of Donetsk Oblast

On March 12, 2022, after 15 days of fighting, Russian troops captured the nearby city of Volnovakha, located on a highway between Donetsk and Mariupol.[21][22] The Ukrainian troops then retreated to the town of Velyka Novosilka. Two days later, fighting began in the settlement.[citation needed]

Early capture efforts (2022)

[edit]

Between March 14 and 16, Russian forces achieved significant progress in their offensive originating from Volnovakha, breaking through the eastern sector of the Velyka Novosilka line. This advance included capturing several villages such as Volodymyrivka, Blahodatne, Mykilske, Pavlivka, and Vodiane.[23] By March 16, the Ukrainian General Staff confirmed that Russian troops had launched an offensive on Velyka Novosilka, reporting some gains.[24] Throughout April, Russian troops repeatedly shelled residential areas in Velyka Novosilka, intensifying the conflict.[25][26]

Stalemate in the region

[edit]

Following the initial offensive, a prolonged stalemate ensued. By mid-May, the U.S. Department of Defense reported that Russian forces near Velyka Novosilka appeared focused on completing the Siege of Mariupol rather than pressing further assaults on the town.[27] Despite renewed Russian efforts to advance on August 24 and 31, Ukrainian forces successfully repelled these attacks.[28][29] By December, reports of Russian troop buildups south of the town indicated reconnaissance missions rather than a well-prepared offensive, reflecting their limited operational capabilities.[30] Concurrently, attempts to capture the nearby city of Vuhledar resulted in severe Russian losses and limited progress, further contributing to the deadlock.[31][32][33]

Ukrainian counteroffensive (2023)

[edit]
Main article: 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive

Between June and October 2023, Ukrainian forces made significant strides in southern Donetsk Oblast during their counteroffensive against Russian positions. On June 4 they achieved limited gains around Rivnopil and southwest of Velyka Novosilka, sparking speculation about a broader counteroffensive.[34] By June 11, Ukrainian troops had recaptured Neskuchne, Blahodatne, and Makarivka, overcoming entrenched Russian defenses, including fortified positions in schools and near rivers.[35][36][37] The Ukrainian military claimed Russian forces destroyed a dam on the Mokri Yaly river to slow down their advance.[38]

At the late of June, fighting escalated around Rivnopil, which Ukraine claimed had been liberated on June 24,[39] but this was only confirmed on June 26.[40] Operations continued into July, focusing on Staromaiorske, where Ukrainian forces faced extremely difficult conditions, including mine-filled roads and systematic defensive strategies employed by the Russian side. On July 26, Staromaiorske was successfully recaptured, a significant achievement praised by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.[41][42] In August, attention shifted to Urozhaine, considered a "stronghold of Russia." After intense fighting and heavy resistance,[43] Urozhaine was liberated on August 16,[44] with retreating Russian forces suffering heavy losses.[45]

Second Russian offensive (2024)

[edit]

On June 10, 2024, Russian advances north of the village of Staromaiorske reportedly resulted in the capture of the entire settlement.[46][47] Subsequently, on July 13, Russian forces successfully took control of Urozhaine.[48] On July 18, Ukrainian authorities confirmed that their forces had withdrawn from the village, claiming that, despite Russian casualties amounting to over a hundred to several hundred fatalities "each day," their defensive positions had been destroyed, along with the village itself.[49][50]

Battle

[edit]
Further information: Battle of Vuhledar

The capture of Vuhledar by the Russian army on 1 October resulted in a renewed opening of the southeastern Donetsk front. Vuhledar functioned as a Ukrainian stronghold in this section of the frontline for over two years. With the fall of this city Russian forces had the ability of starting advances towards Velyka Novosilka, which is located about 30km to the west.[51] One week later, the Russian Defence Ministry reported that the village of Zolota Nyva was under Russian control.[52]

In early November, the Russian military began assault operations to the west of Velyka Novosilka around the Zaporizhzhia – Donetsk border, retaking the settlement of Rivnopil on November 13.[53][54][55] The following week, Russian forces intensified their assault efforts towards Velyka Novosilka from the east. At the same time, Russian forces also expanded the front to the northeast reaching the outskirts of Rozdolne, threatening to cut off the Velyka Novosilka – Bahatyr – Pokrovsk road.[56][57] With these flanking maneuvers from the east, Russian assault groups attempt to bypass the Ukrainian fortifications, which are mainly built and aimed to stop attacks from the south.[58]

Russian forces entered the warehouses located southeast of Velyka Novosilka on 23 November, bringing the frontline up to the outskirts of the town,[59] and subsequently captured the buildings on 24 November. Meanwhile in the northeast, elements of Russia's 37th Motor Rifle Brigade and 40th Naval Infantry Brigade raised the flag in the center of Rozdolne, confirming that Russian forces had taken full control of the village by November 29.[60][61]

Starting in December, Russian forces launched an assault north of Velyka Novosilka where they entered the village of Novyi Komar, thus cutting the T0518 road towards Bahatyr.[62] Meanwhile in the west, the Russian army also improved their positions seizing the settlement of Novodarivka on December 3.[63][64] A counterattack by the Ukrainian forces a few days later resulted in regaining full control of Novyi Komar.[65][4] At the same time, Russian troops started advances to the south of Velyka Novosilka along the Mokri Yaly river where they captured the village of Blahodatne.[66]

On December 7, Ukrainian forces launched a counteroffensive and successfully recaptured Rozdolne.[13]

Analysis

[edit]

Strategic value

[edit]

Velyka Novosilka is seen as a strategic point in the Donbas due to its location close to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The settlement is, together with Kurakhove, one of the few remaining Ukrainian-controlled strongholds in southern Donetsk Oblast. Therefore, it also functions as a regional logistical hub for the Ukrainian forces.[67]

The Institute for the Study of War assessed on November 24 that the Russian military command is planning to advance from Velyka Novosilka into eastern Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to envelop the Ukrainian forces in the Pokrovsk – Kurakhove area from the west.[68] This will also threaten important Ukrainian ground lines of communication running from Zaporizhzhia into western Donetsk Oblast. [69]

The UK Ministry of Defence has stated that Velyka Novosilka serves as a "linchpin of Ukraine's front line."[70]

Tactics

[edit]

A Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces are utilizing a new "carousel" tactic during their raids on Urozhaine. The milblogger stated that this "carousel" tactic enables Russian tanks to fire continuously on Ukrainian forces, both while stationary and while maneuvering. The milblogger further explained that as one tank is engaged in firing at Ukrainian forces, the crew of a second tank positions itself behind the first tank to reload.[71]
