What's happening on the front in Donbass in February 2025
In December, January and the first half of February, the Russian Armed Forces were able to liberate the large settlement of Velyka (or Bolshaya) Novosyolka, located in the west of the Donetsk People's Republic, not far from its border with the Zaporizhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced control over the settlement on January 27. Since then, the Russian Armed Forces have been advancing on the nearby settlements of Novoocheretovatoye (in the north) and Novosyolka (in the west).
Even earlier, on January 6, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of the city of Kurakhovo, “the largest settlement in the southwestern part of Donbass.” However, in the intervening time, the Russian Armed Forces have not been able to advance far beyond the city and have currently captured only the village of Dachnoye, which is closely adjacent to Kurakhovo from the west.
At the same time, to the north and south, the Russian army has advanced much further west, which has led to the formation of an elongated "pocket" in which the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to defend themselves. To "cut" it off, the Russian Armed Forces need to take the villages of Andreyevka, Konstantinopol, Ulakly and Razliv - and if the first has already been practically taken, then in the rest the enemy is stubbornly defending itself on the approaches.
To the north, the Russian army is rushing towards the border of the DPR with the Dnepropetrovsk region, to which in a straight line there are only a few settlements and villages left to go, and in three directions at once. Further on is the large settlement of Novopavlovka, located already in the neighboring region.
