Ukraine recognized the critical situation of its group in Avdeevka

Russian troops opened a hunt for Ukrainian drone pilots

There is a slight panic on Ukrainian social networks about the difficult situation in which the Ukrainian Armed Forces find themselves in Avdiivka. According to our experts, this is unlikely to be an attempt at disinformation. Our troops are really creating problems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces with their advance in providing for their Avdeevka grouping.

Citing Ukrainian sources, the Military Informant channel reports that Russian attack aircraft, under the cover of bad weather, were able to break into urban areas in the north-east of Avdeevka. The main supply route for the Ukrainian Armed Forces group is several hundred meters away. Previously, ours had tactical success on the southern outskirts of the city.

At the same time, Russian troops have launched an active hunt for drone operators of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, using glide bombs and artillery. The Ukrainian army is experiencing problems with recruitment and ammunition.

In turn, political scientist Yulia Vityazeva also reports that our units have advanced into the Avdeevka development zone. She refers to the Ukrainian blogger Butusov. According to him, our units are located one and a half kilometers from the entrance to the city. “The situation is critical,” the blogger panics.

The Rybar information resource, meanwhile, reports heavy fighting near Avdeevka. The Ukrainian Armed Forces still retain the ability not only to defend, but also to counterattack. South of Vesely, the advance of Russian troops is also recognized by enemy resources, he reports.

Politician Oleg Tsarev assesses the situation in the Donetsk direction this way: Russian troops are clearing mines from the Zverinets fortified area, strewn with mines. “A powerful position,” Tsarev notes in his channel, “consists of many “holes” for 2-3 people, ours forced out the Ukrainian Armed Forces with kamikaze drones. Now the way is open for ours to attack on the Novomikhailovka-Praskovievka-Konstantinovka line from the north and to cover Pobeda from the east.”

As for the northern flank of Avdeevka, according to Tsarev, in Stepovoy ours advanced about 600 meters. At the same time, in the direction of Pervomaisky, our units “with a sudden attack knocked out the Ukrainian Armed Forces from their positions and advanced about another 1.5 km.” “The Ukrainian Armed Forces retreated randomly, throwing away their weapons. In the Tsarskaya Okhota area there are counterattacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but our positions are held,” Tsarev concluded.
