I've seen some very liberal use of the word "encircled". To me it only means that supply routes are cut off on all sides. But I've heard people using it when they only mean a half circle (some Indian television channels were particularly guilty of this). If you allow this very liberal use, then the tip Donbas salient, around Sieverodonetsk, would qualify. That is the place where repeated river crossing attempts by Russia were repelled with high casualties. There has been very miminal progress by Russia over the past few weeks, the front is pretty stable and supply lines are pretty secure for Ukraine.Major Russian victory?

I recall hearing they already had plenty within range. If that's true, then this means a few less mins for response, but ultimately is more symbolic than anything else.
