According to geolocation, from March 1 and March 2, the invaders advanced in the Central and Eastern Orlovka, west of Avdiivka. According to the geolocation of March 2, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation also advanced in the thin area. The Russian troops stated that the invaders allegedly displaced the Ukrainian soldiers from the thin, but other Milblogists of the Russian Federation denied this statement.

"Russian milblogists also argued that Russian troops advanced near Stepov, Novobakhmutivka and Nevelsky, but ISW did not find a visual confirmation of these statements," the message reads. Analysts noted that positional battles lasted in the Novobakhmutivka, Berdychiv, Semenivka, Stepovy, Toney, Water, Nevel and Pervomaisky.

According to the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Sirsky, the Armed Forces carried out rotation of parts of the brigade, which for two years fought in the eastern direction and transferred the soldiers to the rear for restoration.

Instead, the Russians attract additional elements to the offensive operations west of Avdiivka, which indicates that the enemy will continue its efforts to move as far as possible before the Ukrainian fighters create a defense that difficult to break through. The Ukrainian military observer Konstantin Mashovets stressed that the military command of the Russian Federation was withdrawn from the reserve of the 74th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade in the direction of swallow-thin.

Also, in his opinion, the enemy may be transferred in the near future parts of the 348th Motorized Rifle Regiment (the 90th Tank Division, which the last ISW watched near Avdiivka during the occupation of the city in mid-February) in Berdychiv or Novobakhmutivsky directions. Under Gorlovka focused units of the 348th Motorized Rifle Regiment after rest.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, in the Avdeevsky direction, the Ukrainian military reflected 14 Russian attacks in the areas of settlements of Berdychi, Orlovka, Toneyke and Nevelskoye Donetsk region. We will remind, on March 2 the chief of the press service "Khortytsa" Ilya Yevlash said that the occupiers have success during promotion in eastern Ukraine. According to him, the enemy changed tactics and puts a bet on the bombs of the front edge.
