The Russian Federation captured Avdiivka: how it will affect the front and in which directions the enemy can activate

According to him, for Russia, Avdiivka is of political importance. "For them, this is another settlement that they can call" great victory ", especially on the eve of elections in Russia. Putin will be able to say that they" release Donbass "," protect against shelling of Donetsk. " Alexander Musienko. From Avdiivka, the occupiers can move further, in particular to Pokrovsk. However, Musienko stressed that the enemy needs to pause to restore strength and resources.

Musienko noted that in Avdiivka the Ukrainian military was able to accomplish one of the tasks, which was spoken by the commander -in -chief Alexander Sirsky, namely the destruction of the enemy's combat potential, by the task of him with greater losses. Military expert Alexei Hetman reported that Avdiivka was beneficial in a tactical sense. "It was possible to keep an artillery fire under the control of the city of Donetsk. We did not fire it, but the Russians knew that we could do it.

Therefore, the Russians did not build warehouses or military hubs there," he said. Hetman believes that after the departure of the Armed Forces from the city significant changes on the front will not be even despite the fact that it will be a tactical failure. In his opinion, the invaders will stop because Avdiivka is a ruling height, then-lowlands and subsequent hills, where you can keep defense 15-20 kilometers west of the city.

"Most likely, the Ukrainian main forces will go there, but this plot between Avdiivka and the next hills will be under the control of Ukrainian troops to control the actions of the Russians," - said Alexei Hetman. Instead, the continuation of the offensive for the enemy is unprofitable, as it will then be under Ukrainian fire control. The invaders also need to regroup and order the losses that have suffered losses.

"The situation will be similar to Bakhmut when the Russians also stated that they would come further and then stopped," he explained. Musienko thinks that the exit of the Armed Forces from Avdiivka can affect the situation in the adjacent front of the front - coal and Marinka. According to him, it is possible that from some positions there will have to be departed in order not to be at risk of fighters.

"We will have to carry out a certain maneuver to align the front line and not leave dangers for our positions," Musienko added. The military-political observer of the "Information Resistance" project Alexander Kovalenko believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin will use the admiration of Avdiivka for his purposes-to tell about it before the Federal Assembly, during the elections. Avdiivka will be cultivated until the end of the presidential election and then forget.

"They will forget because after Avdiivka there will be no rapid and" heroic "movement. And it will be likely to override attention to other sections of the front, where they catalyze the offensive due to the overturning of the units that have been released," Kovalenko said.

According to him, the enemy priority is Kupyansk, the time of Yar, Novomikhailivka, the restoration of the offensive on the coal and in the Zaporizhzhia region, the return under control of the territories lost in 2023 in the Verbov and robot. "The units from the Center UV can be returned to the area of ​​its responsibility or even strengthening in the Went.

We will remind, on February 17 the commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky stated that he made a decision on the removal of Ukrainian soldiers from Avdiivka of Donetsk region. This was necessary to avoid the environment and save the life of the personnel. According to him, the fighters did their best to destroy the best Russian military units.
