AFU, Avdiivka, rotation

The battle for Avdiivka continues. On February 13, it was officially announced that some units of the 110th separate mechanized brigade in the city were replaced by other units of the Armed Forces.

Rotation in Avdiivka. What is currently known

The speaker of the 110th AFU separate mechanized brigade, named after Colonel-General Mark Bezruchko, Ivan Siekach, told about the latest events in the city.

He also noted that their brigade currently does not have all the necessary resources to defend Avdiivka, but reinforcements have already begun to arrive.

For the first time in almost two years of operating the 110th separate mechanized brigade, some units were fully withdrawn from combat actions for rest and rotation. Indeed, reinforcements have arrived. I won't say what this unit is. But this is a powerful support, and we felt slightly calmer when it came.

What is really happening around Avdiivka

Ivan Siekach noted that the Russian invaders had an advantage in aviation, so the Armed Forces could not in any way influence the air raids, the bombing of the city and our positions.

In addition, the Russian army has concentrated a huge number of personnel near the city, which it constantly throws into battle without rest or rotations. The Russians have to sneeze at the losses on this part of the front.

Moreover, the enemy regularly conducts experiments with various groups using armoured vehicles.

They have a task, and they are trying to fulfill it in any way possible, — explained the speaker of the 110th AFU Separate Mechanised Brigade.

When Putin might agree to a truce — Estonia's forecast

What to expect from Putin next?
Source:  The Guardian

Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur believes that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin may agree to sign an agreement with US President Donald Trump's team on a ceasefire on the front in Ukraine by May 9 because of his love of "special dates."

Points of attention

  • Pevkur's analysis is based on Putin's past actions, such as launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine shortly after Russia's Armed Forces Day, emphasizing the significance of historical dates.
  • The upcoming talks between US special representative Steve Witkoff and Putin in Russia underscore the ongoing dialogue and potential for a ceasefire agreement between the two nations.

What to expect from Putin next?

Journalists asked the Estonian minister why he concluded that the aggressor country, Russia, would try to conclude an agreement with the United States by May 9.

"I read the signs. Putin was always attentive to dates," emphasized Hanno Pevkur.

Against this background, he also recalled that on February 23, 2022, Russia celebrated Armed Forces Day, and the next day — February 24 — Putin ordered the launch of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

"Therefore, I believe that May 9, which for us is Europe Day, for Russia is the day of the end of World War II, they will strive, perhaps, for this to get some kind of agreement, some kind of truce or something like that," Pevkur voiced his forecast.

What is important to understand is that on April 11, it became known that the US President's special representative, Steve Witkoff, once again traveled to Russia.

In Moscow, he will hold talks with dictator Putin regarding a ceasefire on the front.
