According to him, it is not necessary to compare the battle for Bakhmut and the offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to Avdiivka. Yes, the Avdeevsky direction is a plot that has been defended by Ukraine's defense forces for 9 years. Many military people know "every bush" there. In addition, there is a coke plant with powerful walls and huge underground communications. "Can they turn it into Bakhmut? Theoretically possible.
But if there were 100 thousand in Bakhmut's losses with the wounded, then half a million will go to Avdiivka," the hetman said. He noted that Bakhmut began to prepare for fighting only in 2022 during the war. Whereas Avdiivka - since 2014. "Bakhmut was preparing for fighting after 2022. I was there. The ordinary city where people lived a regular life. There were no barricades and fortifications before. .
The expert believes that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation conducts a strengthened offensive on Avdiivka for political reasons. It may have been a direct order of Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, the occupiers thus lose a large number of equipment and personnel, losing offensive potential.
