The Battle of the Donbas: The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation could move near Avdiivka and Staromayorsky - isw (maps)

In addition to Avdiivka, which has been actively stormed for the second month, the offensive in the border of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya regions was confirmed. Russian "military bloggers" claim that the enemy's troops advanced west of the railway near the Steppe (3 km northwest of Avdiivka) and near Novokalin (11 km northwest of Avdiivka). It was also evidence that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation allegedly advanced north of the industrial zone to the southeast of the city.

The fighting lasted in the area of ​​the local coke plant. In the General Staff of the Armed Forces, meanwhile, Ukrainian defenders managed to repel most enemy attacks in this direction, namely: near Stepov, Novokalin, Avdiivka, Severny (6 km west of Avdiivka) and Pervomaisky (11 km south -west of Avdiivka); east of Novobakhmutivka (11 km northeast of Avdiivka); Thin (7 km west of Avdiivka).

By the way, according to some reports, the land around the city in the Donbass has already softened in the mud, and this significantly complicates the movement of both Russian vehicles and Ukrainian. Separate analysts noted that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continued their attempts in another direction. They made limited ground shelling in the border of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya regions.

It is argued that part of the Russian 394th Motorized Rifle Regiment (127th Motorized Rifle Division of the 5th Army Army of the Eastern Military District) was allegedly able to knock out Ukrainian military from positions located southwest of Staromayorsky. The ISW has previously argued that the front line of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was immediately behind these positions.

The Ukrainian General Staff, meanwhile, stated that the Armed Forces were able to repel the enemy attacks south of Prykistivka (18 km southeast of the Great Novosilka). We will remind, on November 30 it was reported that the fighter of the Armed Forces told about the colossal losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Avdiivka. According to the serviceman of Yevgeny Ivlev, he has never seen so many enemy bodies, and on the front he is almost a year.
