The Russian Armed Forces are quite successfully breaking through enemy defenses in the Novomikhailovka area. By the evening of February 5, it became known that Russian units had reached the eastern outskirts of the village towards Mira Street.
This became a logical development of the attack at the end of December, when an armored group of the Russian Armed Forces, having made passages in minefields, escaped to land on the northeastern outskirts of Novomikhailovka.

However, even taking into account Novomikhailovka’s position in half-coverage, the situation for the enemy cannot be considered critical. Through Novomikhailovka and neighboring Paraskovievka there are roads to Konstantinovka, one of the main supply hubs, and therefore defense, in the South Donetsk direction. Thus, the village is one of the key ones in the current configuration, and one should not hope for easy progress.
