"Avdiivka has not fallen": the Armed Forces are courageous to keep defense in heavy battles - the head of GVA

According to Vitaliy Barabash, the enemy really tries to realize its plans from the city's environment and from the flanks from the south and north. The head of the military administration of Avdiivka Vitaliy Barabash stated that the Russian armed forces are constantly penetrating the outskirts of the city. However, it should be noted that the control of the territory of Avdiivka is stored in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and residents continue active occupation resistance.

The Barabash situation was spoken on the air of the "only news". As on the morning of Friday, February 9, 935 people lived in the settlement. However, on February 8, a successful evacuation event was held, which resulted in six people evacuated from the settlement. "The situation is not very simple, very difficult. The enemy really tries to realize its plans from the city's environment and from the flanks from the south and north. At the same time he tries to storm in Lobov.

Our boys see, work out these moments about cutting coke from the city. Through the country array, cut off coke. And he presses there very powerfully, " - said the chief of GVA. Barabash confirmed that the occupation troops were present in the private sector and enter the outskirts of Avdiivka. "Yes, unfortunately, there is such [information]. But the boys courageously restrain them, reflect them. The enemy's forces are at times larger . . . " he added.

In addition, the head of the city military administration does not consider that "Avdiivka has already fallen. " "There is no such thing, unambiguously. If so someone states it, it is first and foremost disrespectful to the defenders who protect this city. They are in place, they know that it is not so . . . to the fact that" everything is gone ", still far away," - he said. Recall that DeepState created a rating of the most successful offensive operations in the territory of Ukraine for 2023.
