Russian troops are moving in the Avdiivka area. Will the Armed Forces stand the onslaught of the invaders in the winter?
In recent days, the situation in Avdiivka has aggravated: Russian troops have advanced in the eastern part of the industrial zone in the southeastern outskirts of the city. The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces in the area was attacked by the enemy armored vehicles on November 26, the American Institute for War Study (ISW) reported.
Russian warships claim that the army of the Russian Federation this day seized the entire industrial zone near the railway station "Yasinovata-2" and was entrenched near the railway near the Avdiivsky Coke Plant. But the ISW experts did not find visual confirmation to these information. At the same time, the Russian side simultaneously states the futility of the seizure of the industrial zone: to go to other flanks of Avdiivka, you will have to recruit more personnel.
The partial success of the occupiers in the industrial zone near Avdiivka was confirmed by the current servicemen of the Armed Forces. The fighting in this area is difficult, said Ukrainian military Sergey Volkov. "Indeed, in some part of [industrial industry industries] have success, but talking about the control of all" industry "is too early. They throw a lot of effort and infantry to fix and try to move.
Not everything is able to, they get on their teeth from our defense forces ", - Volkov said. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, according to its data, are pressed on three sides: in the south, north and from the side of Yasinovaty. The Ukrainian General Staff does not confirm the success of the Russians, but declares the enemy's attempts to surround Avdiivka with the support of aviation.
The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces are steadily keeping defense, causing significant losses to the occupiers, and the Ukrainian military command reported briefly on the morning of November 27. Deepstate analysts note that on the Avdiivsky segment, the enemy had partial success during the storming south of Novokalin and the western outskirts of the steppe. The Russians also burst into the territory of the coke.
Focus interviewed military experts believe that the Russians are far from Avdiivka itself, but the situation in the city depends largely on the resources of the Ukrainian army. It is too early to talk about Avdiivka's surroundings with Bakhmut, the Colonel of the Armed Forces in stock comments, the instructor pilot Roman Svitan. Part of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces in the industrial zone from the Yasinovat Development Russians really destroyed tanks, artillery and aviation.
This part of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is controlled not by living force, but by armored vehicles and artillery, he adds. "Any fortress can be destroyed if it is bombing for a long time," the expert notes. The successes of the Armed Forces in the industrial zone Svitan explains the advancement of technique asphalt and concrete roads.
The real problems of the Defense Forces of Ukraine can be in the north: the Russians come there on the villages of Ocheretyne, Berdychi and Steppe to cut off the Avdiivka from the Karlovsky garrison. "We are doing this problem now. Until they have reached Berdychiv, there is no great dangers," the expert adds. Not so optimistic about the future Avdiivka is a reserve colonel, an expector of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev.
Fighting is for controlling the heights in the area of the industrial zone, and the one who wins will gain advantage further. "The enemy is systematically pressed, squeezing not only the so -called" ticks "(between the northern and southern edges of the city). The occupiers come from the East and if we do not have resources, it will not be necessary to speak about the city's maintenance," he explains.
The controlled airplanes and artillery of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation breaks the defense structures of the Armed Forces and the Ukrainian units have to go closer to Avdiivka. "What steel and concrete will withstand the methodological blows of aviation? Seleznyov expressed restrained optimism about further actions of the Armed Forces. In case of lack of resources, it is possible to leave the western borders, but official speakers are unlikely to announce it.
"If there are many artillery systems, ammunition and air defense, everything will be well. The last two days alarming. Yesterday, the enemy tank shot our protective structures closely, neither drones nor artillery worked on it. ? There is no answer yet, "he summed up. We will remind, according to the Ukrainian command, on November 26 the army of the Russian Federation in the Tavriysk direction lost more than 500 people. About 80% of losses occurred in the Donetsk region.
