According to the Estonian intelligence officers' data, the Ukrainian soldiers managed to hold the liberated positions on the left bank of the Dnipro despite the Russian army's attempts to recapture them.
In Estonia, the new successes of the Armed Forces at the front are confirmed
On the left bank of the Dnipro, Ukrainian defenders managed to unite separate bridgeheads in the area of road and railway bridges into a single lane. The Russian occupiers are trying to push back the Ukrainian defenders, but not with frontal attacks, but mostly through artillery, sniper fire, mining the territory and by infiltration, the report of the Intelligence Center of the Estonian Defense Forces states.
In addition, it is emphasized that during the past week, neither the Ukrainian defenders nor the Russian invaders were able to achieve a large-scale breakthrough at the front.
Foreign experts assume that both armies are trying to preserve their personnel and equipment as much as possible and have become hostages to the deterioration of the weather.
What does Russia want to achieve?
According to Estonian scouts, despite the enormous losses, the aggressor country did not give up its goals, and its main blow of the October offensive, as before, took place in Avdiivka and Mariinka.
They also believe that the primary goal of the Russian army during the offensive on Avdiivka is to surround the Ukrainian city and its defenders.
This complicates the movement of heavy equipment and the launch of drones, and also leads to the fact that small infantry units go on the attack without serious technical support, the report says.
It is also worth noting that according to American analysts' data, the Ukrainian defenders achieved confirmed territorial gains near Robotyno in the Zaporizhzhia region.
