There is not a single area where Ukrainian soldiers are even remotely in danger of being encircled. Instead, there is one combat area where an encirclement is happening and this in Toretsk, where Russian forces are about to be cut off in the West of the town, if they didn't have left already.

Ukrainian forces have liberated substantial parts of Toretsk, punching into the southern parts of the ruins. As I wrote a few days ago, I suspected Russians had to concentrate their troops in Kursk and indeed they did, while getting pushed back in the Pokrovsk, Toretsk, Chasiv Yar and Kupyansk.
