And if at first it was possible to regard this offensive in the same way as summer movements near Kupyansk (the event designed to distract our reserves), then after a number of frames with burning iron and persistent repetition of attacks by columns, it became clear that it was an attempt to surround and take. In my opinion, all this is not military importance, but political. Putin is three months old that the Ukrainian offensive has fallen in the south.
And if the Russian army managed to take a storm Avdiivka, he would have put a greasy point-they say that the little things were tormented for 4 months, and we blew up, and our Avdiivka. Therefore, the forces have accumulated and thrown into the attack crazy. They were thrown against one of the most fortified areas. That is, they clearly wanted to throw hats. I think that the same "spoiled phone", which information about the fighting comes from the front to the Kremlin, played its role here.
I have no doubt that Putin really believes in the ratio of losses 8 to 1 in favor of Russia and other fairy tales about the destruction of "Himars" by wagons. And if you believe in everyone, it is inevitably created that the Ukrainian army is already over, and the Russian cheerful and almighty. And then you can send the columns to suicide attacks. Now, when the blitzkrig did not work, this detrimental offensive does not work. Not Patsan. And what it all over is unclear.
A pearl victory is when you reach a local battle, but such a price that leads to a common defeat. I cannot make forecasts, but no one will forbid me hope that the attempt to take Avdiivka will end for the Russian army Pirrova "not victory". As they can not take Avdiivka, and they will spend so much that it will respond throughout the war. The author expresses a personal opinion that may not coincide with the editorial position.
