They will not be able to surround the Armed Forces: in ISW ​​told about the tactics of the enemy and further promotion in Avdiivka

This was reported by analysts of the Institute of War Study in the daily report on February 15. "The offensive of the Russian troops from the capture of Avdiivka emphasizes the inability of the Russian military to carry out a successful operational environment or coverage in Ukraine," the statement said.

Analysts said that in October 2023 the invaders tried to surround the Armed Forces in Avdiivka promptly, but gradually moved to the fighting bypassing the city because they could not perform the fast maneuver necessary for the environment. "Operational environment is a maneuver in which the advancing forces are completely surrounded and then destroy the enemy forces.

Operational coverage is a maneuver in which the attacking forces are intended to avoid the main defensive structures At their current positions, " - recalled in ISW. The Russian soldiers could not achieve either anything in Avdiivka. However, the occupiers were reversible in the city, as in the capture of Bakhmut in the spring of 2023, when the enemy tried to bypass the basic defensive positions to ensure tactical advantages, but did not seek to destroy the Armed Forces.

Analysts believe that the inability of the Russian Federation to carry out a successful environment at an operational level indicates that the occupiers will probably continue to move at a slight tactical level instead of large -scale maneuvers, which can lead to a faster promotion or destruction of a large group of Ukrainian forces. Recall that the ISW analysts in the report for February 15 told that the occupiers carry out the tactical operation of the environment of Avdiivka.
