The case is in flux: Ukrainian militants began to be taken out of Avdiivka for money

There are only a few kilometers left before the Russian pincers close

Ukrainian information resources, despite the bans, began to publish very alarming news from Avdiivka for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to them, Russian units are breaking through the defenses and have already reached the northern outskirts of Avdeevka. There is no official confirmation of this information from the Russian military yet. It is believed that there are approximately three thousand Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers in Avdeevka so far.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Armed Forces began to withdraw Western equipment from the Avdeevsky fortified area at night and are preparing to undermine infrastructure facilities. The enemy is evacuating elite units from the city, replacing them with terrorists from the RDK (Russian Volunteer Corps, a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation).

According to military expert Yuri Knutov, the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces understands that it will lose the city and is trying to prolong the fighting. He did not rule out a diversionary maneuver by the enemy.

According to unconfirmed reports, our units overcame a kind of psychological barrier – they crossed the city limits near the Avdeevsky quarry. Ukrainian channels also confirm that our assault troops entered the Ivushka gardening community, located within the city.

A few days ago, information appeared that we had broken through the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the south, gaining a foothold in the area of ​​Yasinovatsky Lane. At the same time, the northern flank also moved, compressing the ring. There is now a little more than three kilometers left until the ticks close.

At the same time, the artillery and aerospace forces continue to destroy and hit the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ fortifications in the city, almost continuously delivering strikes. We conducted the most massive shelling in the Vodyanoye area, preventing the enemy from rotating and replenishing supplies.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces, meanwhile, began to withdraw Western equipment from the city under the cover of darkness, as well as prepare elite units for retreat. The evacuation of Ukrainian special operations forces, according to some reports, will begin this weekend.

By the way, only financially secure VSE officers can afford evacuation. The fee for removal from the territory of Koksokhim and from Avdeevka is reported to cost 10-12 thousand hryvnia (20 thousand rubles).

As replenishment, mobilized and terrorist detachments, which were previously used for raids on Russian border areas, are being transferred to the fortified area.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ sanitary losses have increased significantly. If earlier there were up to 500 people per day, now it is up to 750.

As military expert Yuri Knutov told MK, terrorists who have repeatedly raided the Belgorod and Bryansk regions are sent to Avdeevka, because they are not pitied.

“The enemy understands that he will most likely lose Avdeevka,” says the expert, “and the main task for him now is simply to prolong the fighting and pin down our troops.” This can be done not at the expense of elite units, such as the special operations forces of Ukraine, and not at the expense of Western military equipment, but precisely at the expense of terbats and defectors from Russia. That is, at the expense of these servicemen, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will now try to simply somehow fetter the actions of our troops for some time.

“Now there is a certain threat,” says Knutov. – The Ukrainian Armed Forces began to launch a diversionary strike in the Gorlovka area. They can transfer these forces just there – it’s not so far as to increase pressure on Gorlovka and weaken our offensive in Avdiivka; a similar maneuver on the part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot be ruled out either.
