07 Feb: Ukrainian Strikes WIPE OUT MASSIVE RUSSIAN COLUMNS | War in Ukraine Explained

Here, a massive Russian offensive was set into motion, aiming to consolidate control over the town and break through the Ukrainian defenses. However, the unfolding fight would soon take an unexpected turn, as Ukrainian forces, positioned strategically on higher ground, hunted down the Russian assaults from their positions on the high ground with deadly precision.

The goal of the Ukrainian forces in this area is to target and eliminate Russian forces trying to enter and consolidate control of Velyka Novosilka. The Russians are trying to exploit their control over the town's large infrastructure to achieve numerical superiority by accumulating large forces for an offensive effort to the north. Consolidating their control of the town would also allow them to establish stable logistics by using the infrastructure to set up ammo depots, tank repair workshops, and field hospitals for wounded soldiers, further supporting their offensive.
