Fighting for Avdiivka: The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have failed and can turn into "blows against the wall" - isw (map)

According to analysts, the Armed Forces were replaced by the outskirts of Avdiivka, and therefore it is more difficult for the occupiers to go. They also have problems with the accuracy of artillery through worn barrels. The offensive of the Russians to Avdiivka in Donetsk over the past day failed. Analysts from the Institute of War Study (ISW) reported this. The report of October 13 states that the Russian forces continued their attacks north and south of Avdiivka.

It is expected that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were able to move south of Krasnogorivka (5 km north of Avdiivka) and towards Pervomaisky (11 km southwest of Avdiivka). According to analysts, the Russians began to disseminate information about control over the Avdeevsky Coke Plant. However, the institute could not find any confirmation of this.

Experts have stated that Russian sources report that the Armed Forces were replaced by the outskirts of Avdiivka, and therefore it is more difficult for the occupiers to pass by mine fields. In addition, the Russian from the 4th Brigade of the so-called "LNR" stated that worn trunks greatly reduce the accuracy of the artillery of the Russians.

According to the same Russian, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can "squeeze the perimeter", taking the position of defense forces of Ukraine, which is less fortified. However, the commanders of the invaders may misunderstood this limited advance and try to drive the troops on the offensive as soon as possible. Then attacks can cause the occupiers to "fight against the concrete wall" until their forces are exhausted.
