According to the adviser to the head of the Office of the President, Mykhailo Podoliak, it is too early to draw conclusions about the probable withdrawal of the Ukrainian military from Avdiyivka.
What does the OP say about the situation in the Avdiyivka area
During a conversation with Russian opposition journalist Yulia Latynina, Podolyak emphasized that for now it is necessary to wait for a comprehensive military analysis of the current situation from the new head of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi.
Russia is accumulating a resource, which is not a pity. She spends to go forward drone, projectile and mobilized. Why in this sequence: first we will spend a lot of mobilized, then we will additionally spend shells, and at the end we will spend a drone. That is, Russia will apply quantitative pressure, - explains the OP representative.
According to him, the tactic of leaving one settlement, then another, is unsuccessful.
Podolyak noted that the Ukrainian military leadership makes decisions based on the need to minimize potential losses as much as possible.
What do analysts and the Armed Forces say about the situation in the Avdiyivka area
According to Juliana Röpke, an analyst of the German edition of Bild, the criminal army of the Russian Federation blocked the railway connection in the center of Avdiivka in the area of Chistyakov Street.
The analyst notes that currently the Russian occupiers are literally 700 meters away from Industrial Avenue, which serves as the only road connecting the city with the territory controlled by Ukraine.
A Ukrainian drone drops shell after shell on six advancing Russian soldiers as they march 700 meters through Avdiivka. As a result, three of them (at least) were injured by the drone. But there is not a single Ukrainian soldier who could stand up to them in their advance to the west, - notes Ryopke.
The analyst says that every day the situation in Avdiivka is becoming more critical, and in the conditions of street battles, the losses of the Ukrainian military are becoming more and more significant.
At the same time, the commander of the "Tavria" OSUV, Oleksand Tarnavskyi, noted that the Russian army is currently seeking to establish full control over the logistics routes in the north of Avdiyivka.
In the operational zone of the "Tavria" anti-aircraft missile defense system, the enemy is currently concentrating its main efforts on the Avdiyiv direction. The intention of the Russian aggressors is clear: they first of all want to establish control over the logistical routes of providing our units on the northern flank, - said Tarnavskyi.
The commander of the "Tavria" air defense system added that the Ukrainian military continues to give a decent rebuff to the Russian occupiers and inflict numerous losses on the enemy in terms of personnel and military equipment.
Defense forces reinforce the blocking line and set up additional firing positions. Logistical delivery continues.
Over the past day, the enemy carried out 17 airstrikes, 57 assaults and 599 artillery barrages throughout our operational zone. Our defenders are firmly holding the defense. The total losses of the enemy last day amounted to: 361 Russian occupiers and 13 units of military equipment, not including UAVs. In particular, these are 2 tanks, 1 armored fighting vehicle, 1 artillery system, 6 cars and 3 units of special equipment. Ukrainian defense forces also destroyed 2 ammunition warehouses. 145 UAVs of various types were neutralized or destroyed, Tarnavskyi noted.
What else is said in the OP
According to Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the President's Office, the Kremlin is currently trying to prolong the war, hoping to wait for the end of military support for Ukraine from Western partners.
At the same time, the enemy continues to use the tactics of "meat assaults" in priority directions for himself, in order to somehow justify the criminal war unleashed by the Kremlin.
Russia's strategy at this stage of the war is absolutely clear and transparent... Large-scale provoking any centers of tension, any escalations, any conflicts in different parts of the world in order to divert global resources from supporting Ukraine
