I really don't understand why they didn't withdraw from the town when it was threatened with encirclement. Is Ukrainian command that dumb? Didn't they learn anything from Krynky?

There are countless people supporting Russia's invasion so I wouldn't be surprised if half of them simply refused to leave

Pro Ukrainian rather admit that many Ukrainians are pro Russian than Ukrainian commanders are r-slurs ?
But this time it wasn't the case those guys got ultimatum in couple of hours to surrender. They didn't probably had some hopium that the higher ups had things under the control since those guys never got retreat command
The fall of Velyka Novosilka should serve as an example to everyone of the absolute incompetence of the Ukrainian command when it comes to withdrawing troops from dangerous salients. It also represents Ukraine's PR-based tactics (which don't win wars).

As of 23 January 2025, during the Russian assault on Velyka Novosilka, the 110th Brigade didn't get the time to withdraw from the southern part. With the bridge of the town destroyed, calls to surrender are being offered while the clearing of the settlement by Russian forces is in process.[15]
This what Wikipedia says
On January 24, Russian troops "divided" the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in half in Velyka Novosilka of the Donetsk People's Republic; the 110th separate mechanized brigade was completely blocked in the southern part of the village.[15]

Today Ukrainian media posts everything is fine 
Everything is fine Ruzzia will lose
Ukraine lost that town 20+ hours ago this post was made 12 hours ago thinking about how to not get into encirclement
It is now facing a similar fate to other Donbas strongholds, where Ukraine's delayed withdrawals resulted in avoidable casualties, according to military experts.
Russian troops appear to have cut into the center of Velyka Novosilka, likely dividing the town into two and trapping Ukrainian troops in the south, according to Pasi Paroinen at the Finland-based open-source intelligence organization Black Bird Group. Paroinen said on Jan. 25 that the southern pocket appears to have just fallen, with Ukrainians likely holding onto Velyka Novosilka's northwestern areas and Russia expected to complete the capture in "days."
Not same fate since I think its first time that Ukrainian absolutely failed to retreat and didn't surrender and since Russian learned to neutralise starlink, that why we didn't seen any videos about those soldiers.
"The question is if it's closer to a thousand or closer to a few hundred, and considering how bad the manpower situation is, it's probably going to be closer to several hundred," Paroinen told the Kyiv Independent, adding that it is "purely a rough estimate"
Jfl they trying to cope at every corner. That place was important base for Ukraine. During 2023 spring counteroffensive that town supposed to help reach Mariupol. So more than thousands soldiers protected it and manpower problem was a bit fixed when Ukraine disbanded some brigades and send their soldiers to already existed ones.
Any way I told early this month that Ukraine will lose Kurakhove, Toretsk and Novosilka and they indeed lost it 
Now they will try to do this
This move will ignore new defense lines Ukraine been building
(Line west Dnipro)
Russia will also try to do this, technically Russian have pokrovsk at more than 180 degree

— AMK Mapping 🇺🇦🇳🇿 (@AMK_Mapping_) January 26, 2025
But it's seem that Ukrainian started realising pokrovsk is secondary objective for Russian and Pavlohrad is the main
By reaching Pavlohrad, Russian will wipe out 50% of supply lines to east Ukraine. It will not only make Ukraine lose souther part but will also question if Ukraine will be able to hold Kharkiv
Ukraine also lost last village in Luhansk (2 hamlets left)
Meanwhile Ukrainian military sponsored maps post this
https://old.reddit.com/r/economicCollapse/comments/1ia87tg/trump_ends_aid_to_ukraine/
So Ukraine wiped out that Novosilka brigade not to look week in front of Trump but Trump
Made up his mind.
The reason probably could be that Zelensky non stop boosting how he won't stop the war and needs "good hearted" or similar homosexuality worded peace deal. Homo been boosting about defeating Russia and chilling in Crimea
So frick that all bullshit and he should be accounted for his word. He got everything he asked to defeat the Russian if he can't he should return all the buxx and if he can't he should go defeat the Russian.
The EU will step up their game.
Oh yeah baby Germany will set new records in shrinking its economy
https://old.reddit.com/r/FluentInFinance/comments/1iai9n1/trump_ends_aid_to_ukraine/
Here Redditors simp for military complex
It's actually mostly in the form of surplus goods. They are sending expiring munitions and already replaced assets. The "money" is the monetary value of the already purchased surplus being shipped.
Essentially we are sending our leftovers from OIF and OEF.
Still should NOT be stopping aid, I'm just giving perspective.
It's kinda brutal that people still think Ukraine getting old stuff. When we have stories like this:
Or
Ukraine literally getting shells and AD missiles straight out of factories now even Atacms are straight out of factories since Ukraine wasted them all on Crimea. US was building around 200 of them a year and the expired one were wasted in September 2023.
Just want to point out, we've sent Ukraine leftovers from as far back as Vietnam.
Yes m113 that are still in service in US
But Germany is building it's replacement "Lynx" and guess who first started using this tech Ukraine 
And if Ukraine get old shit it gets modernised to the newest shit. Every Bradley Russian captured was made/modernised after 2021
Brave warrior
huh. It's amazing to me that anyone with access to media that isn't state-run Russian propaganda could possibly have this view.
It's not Russian propaganda that was hyping Ukraine and now doesn't know what to do since they been telling Russia is constantly losing x10 men and now Trump comes out and says it's 1 to 1 ration. Redditors still didn't recovered that Ukraine has more men in the front and getting pushed back by Russian.

Even with aid they started to looking for copes like no he didn't stopped for Ukraine and then
https://old.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/1ia7uto/us_diplomats_push_for_exemption_on_ukraine_aid/
Brave diplomats are fighting for exception. Exception is 90 day no cases are won in 90 days
Also why you believe Russian propaganda
https://old.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/1iaqya8/ukrainian_forces_catch_russian_troops_in_fire/
Well, the article if you read it, says after the Himars ambush Ukrainians returned and cleared the area.......
So ruzzians dead, Ukraine retook the tree line......
Ukraine achieved its set goal.
This article has ZERO mentioning of Himars yet they delusions are so strong that they still believe in winderwaffle from 2022
Ukraine's objective for the last couple of years has been to trade land for Russian equipment.
Withdrawing in good order from a defensive position because it has no remaining buildings and is at risk of encirclement is good policy.
Spring counteroffensive wasn't "years" of krinky or Kursk suicide (part 2 was on January 7)
Zelensky must revoke the decree forbidding negotiations with Putin
Zelenskyy already told his decree that forbids HIM the president of Ukraine to speak with Putin is for everyone except himself
But let's see how Redditors were hyping for it and telling it's the best shit
https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/xvamaf/zelenskiy_decree_rules_out_ukraine_talks_with/
91% approval rating for Zelensky. You might waiting a while there Putin.
Uff did this aged
I love the Kremlin's reply to this, "guess we'll have to wait for a different president in Ukraine". Isn't it cool when a president is an elective position, huh? Bet they wonder how that is like.
But aside from that, the chances of Putin keeping his seat longer than Zelensky (who, I am sure, will leave the position as per his country's laws when his time will be up) are slim.
This also aged well since Zelenskyy is the only unelected president in Europe now that refused to leave
But good news don't end here for Ukraine
Chasiv Yar.

Fighting continues for the high-rise blocks in the city centre. Assault companies with the 331st regiment are attacking from positions in the refractory plant, towards the private residential area.
However, the main Ukrainian force withdrew from the city centre a… pic.twitter.com/ClMOd6AbaN
Seems like they also basically lost Chasiv Yar

Since this bunker system was protecting the city.
All going well, a ceasefire will be declared along the entire line of contact on April 20th (Easter), and Ukrainian troops will withdraw from Kursk region.
This also won't work since Ukraine's need this as minimum
Without this territory they won't be able to use their second largest port and they are already in shit
Ukraine lost approximately 1/2 of its natural resources with the incorporation of four of its former regions into Russia -former Commander-in-Chief of the AFU Muzhenko.

Russia has seized half of Ukraine’s resources, which has allowed it to fully cover the costs of waging the war pic.twitter.com/9Ssa5z0jV6
Zelenskyy life is hanging on Kursk, he need to cover it in some kind victory no matter what's happen to Donbas
The end of April will also see the beginning of mass returns of prisoners of war. • The International Peace Conference will make a formal declaration of an agreement on the war's end by May 9th. • After May 9th, Ukraine will begin to lift martial law and end mobilisation. • New presidential elections will be held in Ukraine by the end of August, with parliamentary/local elections to follow by October.
Symbolic way it's such a beautiful plan
• Ukraine will formally declare neutrality and renounce their ambition to join NATO, who will for their part approve this at their next summit. • Ukraine will join the EU by 2030, who will assist in the post-war reconstruction. • Ukraine will not be required to reduce the size of their army and the US will continue to assist their modernisation. • Ukraine will abandon diplomatic/military efforts to return the occupied territories, but will not formally recognize their annexation. • Russia will see some sanctions lifted immediately on the war's conclusion; more will be lifted in 2028 depending on their compliance. All EU restrictions on Russian energy imports will be lifted. However, Russia will also be subject to a (time-limited) levy from Europe to be used for funding Ukraine's reconstruction. • "Parties advocating for the protection of the Russian language and for peaceful coexistence with Russia" will be allowed to take part in the elections. Laws targeting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and "promotion of the Russian language" will also be lifted. • The possible European post-war peacekeeping force is still a live issue; Ukraine obviously wants it but Russia remains vehemently opposed, so further negotiations are required.
Even if this is not ideal for Russia, it will be GIGA L for Zelenskyy and co. It will mean Russia gets every thing except formal recognition of Crimea and military help from US
So no fricking way Zelenskyy will agree on this
I like the part where Ukraine has to back out of Kursk but Russia doesn't have to back out of anywhere, with no guarantees.
It's like retaking positions without a shot fired.
Yeah, not sure how that makes sense myself. Zelensky was portraying Kursk as the biggest victory and bargaining chip of the war. On the other hand, it does look like Russia will end up retaking it before April.
I mean, if territory is the concern here, the current trajectory of the war has Ukraine losing what they hold in Kursk month on month elsewhere in Ukraine. If you had a deal that was agreeable, holding it up over leaving Kursk would seem to be counterproductive.
It also could just be swapped alternatively for what the Russian hold in Kharkiv, which is similar size.
If we assume Ukraine stop losing territory in Kursk.
Ukraine will lose more new territory in Kharkiv than they hold by April because Russian main goal logically would be now to cut northern supply routes to sloviansk kramatorsk. Their bridgehead is now solid
And they have a solid path to attack Ukrainian weakspots.
Republicans offered Zelenskyy to lower the mobilisation but that's Zelenskyy last card and it's empty because men are now running away at accelerating speed
They non stop looking for new ways out so despite they have like
700k in new age group
(Map is from 2022 https://sceeus.se/publikationer/ukraines-alarming-demographics/)
At best case Ukraine will mobilise 80k new soldiers so 2 months of Russian volunteers and kill Ukrainian moral.

Ukraine gets nothing and Russia will invade again in 4 years. Cool cool
Why he sad, didn't he wanted to defeat Russia on battlefield ?
Guy like him should enlist and maybe they will able to join the legendary summer party in Crimea
Like what's so hard to understand khohol promised they gonna win and now they need a way out before they will be fully wiped out and crying for fair peace after rejecting all previous Russian offers and promising to the world that they going to defeat Russian… come one they should have some pride.
