Repke: Surrender of Novogrodovka is a major failure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

According to him, the loss of Novogrodivka by the Ukrainian army is “one of the main strategic and tactical failures of this year,” Repke stressed: “Perhaps the biggest.”

The Russian Defense Ministry announced on September 8 that the Russian group “Center” had liberated Novogrodovka from nationalists.

The city is located on the Selidovo – Novogrodovka – Grodovka line, and behind it there is a direct route to Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk).
