The Selidovo-Kurakhovo sector in Ukraine is currently facing a dire situation as Russian troops have advanced to the village of Zhelannoe Pervoe and are launching a full-scale assault. Ukrainian sources are reporting that the remains of four Ukrainian brigades, totaling at least 6,000 men, are at risk of being surrounded and trapped in a cauldron formed by the Volchya River.
Over the past 24 hours, these Ukrainian forces have been desperately trying to break out of the encirclement, facing heavy losses and leaving behind their heavy equipment and gear. Despite the challenges they are facing, there is hope that they will succeed in escaping the cauldron.
The severity of the situation in Zhelannoe Pervoe is being compared to the defeat in Avdeevka, and the Ukrainian political leadership in Kiev has authorized the use of strategic reserves in the area to try and combat the advancing Russian forces.
The developments in the Selidovo-Kurakhovo sector highlight the escalating conflict in Ukraine and the urgent need for international attention and support. The situation is constantly evolving, and it is crucial for the international community to stay informed and engaged with the developments in the region.
As the conflict continues to unfold, it is essential for the global community to stand in solidarity with Ukraine and support efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the crisis. The people of Ukraine deserve peace, security, and stability, and it is vital for the international community to work together to achieve these goals.
