Forest strips are littered with bodies: the Armed Forces restrain the offensive of the Russians on Avdiivka - command (video, map)
The spokesman of the United Tavriysky Defense Press Center Alexander Planon on the air of the Telernahon "One News" told about the situation on the front. He stressed that the Avdiivsky direction remains one of the most difficult on the front. "The enemy is trying to step there despite the fact that it is suffered by significant losses," the spokesman notes. In the Mariinsky direction, the Russians activated their offensive. Near the robot, the enemy tried to storm, but unsuccessfully.
According to the plate, active infantry attacks of the invaders continue in these areas. "The enemy continues to lose staff of hundreds. All forest strips and roadside are littered with corpses of the Russians. In addition, the invaders are captured," the spokesman states. He said that in the operating area, "Tavriya" was captured by about 80 servicemen of the enemy in a day. "The refusals of enemy soldiers are fixed on the assault.
They see the corpses of the forest strips and roadsides very well," the plate said. The enemy also continues to attempt to capture Avdiivka - according to the spokesman, 15 attacks in the areas of Stepov, Novobakhmutivka, Stepanivka and Severnoy are reflected. In addition, he also reported that the enemy showed activity in the area of the robot. There, the Russians try to attribute lost positions.
The head of Avdiivska MVA Vitaliy Barabash said that the enemy used less equipment during the third wave. According to the head of the administration, this is primarily due to weather conditions. In addition, there were two more active assault areas - from Donetsk through Spartacus and from Yasinovaty through the so -called industry. "These two directions have been opened. However, these are not new directions. They were still, but the enemy has been inactive and very rarely used them.
And the last two weeks are very active in the assault," Barabash said. According to Alexander Kovalenko's military-political observer, the Russians are unlikely to be able to capture Avdiivka for the New Year, although they are trying to enter the administrative borders of Donetsk region until December 31-so the Kremlin wants.
In addition, the pace and possibility of offensive actions of Russian invaders is significantly influenced by the daily loss of thousands of military and hundreds of units of military equipment. Therefore, according to Kovalenko, the Russians will postpone the desired timing of Avdiivka for a later period. Recall that, according to American analysts, Ukrainian troops recently attacked the positions of Russian invaders in the forest near Avdiivka.
