Russian invaders have a slight promotion in the Avdiivka area - up to 1. 5 km deep at the front up to 1 km in width.
The invaders reached the narrow section of the line of the iron road and the foot of the Avdiivsky Terkcon. "The Riconers themselves can not occupy - it became a gray zone that is visible and fired. Russian assault groups have risen several times on the heap, but most of the stormtroopers are destroyed, and the Russians cannot be fixed on the heap, sitting at the foot," Yuri Butus writes.
According to him, in this area of the front the tactical situation remains favorable for the Armed Forces. The fighting here is mostly maintained by the 110th separate mechanized brigade of the name of the General Huruni Mark Bezruchka. Its fighters managed to keep the dominant heights and flanks. Russian invaders got into the "fire sac" in the lowland, which is controlled by the fire of defense forces. They are forced to rotate, but the maneuver is worth a lot of losses.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will not be able to hold the position in the lowlands if they are under such constant fire.

In order to continue the offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the assault units from the staff of 4 brigades and other units of the 1st Army Corps, in particular, the Brigade of the Special Forces "Drunk". The Russians tighten additional reserves.
Since the beginning of October, the occupiers have lost more than 200 units of Russian armored vehicles in the Avdeevsky direction. "Phenomenal figures. Hundreds of corpses are lying on plantings and fields, the count continues, but only the killed invaders have lost at least 800. 30 Russian assault workers are captured - they look well motivated and prepared, but raised their hands because they made a reasonable choice and live. Ukrainian soldiers turned out to be stronger, "Butusov writes.
Now the city is being held: "There are no words to describe the heroism The conditions that can not withstand any army of the world, the Russians simply flee in such conditions. Our warriors are tired of long fighting. The Russians also hope that Ukrainians will be tired of killing them, "the journalist says. Yuri Butusov noted that the command of the 110th Mechanized Brigade, which manages the defense of Avdiivka, is trusting among all units that defend the city.
The occupiers are now trying to create an advantage in the south of Avdiivka. It is attacked by 9, 110 and 55th motorized rifle crews of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The enemy tries to break through the defense of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces in the Water-Repeat area and has a slight promotion there.
The 59th Motor infantry brigade of the Armed Forces holds positions in this area and reflects all the attacks of the enemy in the direction of Pervomaisk with significant losses for the Russians. "In general, the crisis in the Avdiivka area is not over. The maintenance of the front and powerful blows on the occupiers are given to Ukrainian soldiers expensive price. The Ukrainian command has received enough time to respond and, of course, tightens reserves.
All Russian attacks were reflected, the advance of the Russians is dangerous but Defense resisted, and to keep that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were seized it would be more difficult for them than to continue to attack further, "the journalist summarized.
