Under Avdiivka the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation sends to slaughter infantrymen from "DNR" - expert
Thus, in the Avdeevsky direction, Russian warlords in "meat storms" send mainly infantrymen recruited in the temporarily occupied territory of Donbass. Alexander Kovalenko wrote about it on January 9. "In the area of Avdiivka, the command of the ROV (Russian occupation troops - ed. ) Returned to use in the assault actions of the main infantry component 1 so -called" DNR ". In other words, now the slaughter goes mostly Donetsk cat Telegram expert.
Kovalenko said that the servicemen of the 132nd separate motorized rifle brigade of the DNR Corps have assault actions in the Krasnogorovka-Novobakhmutivka area. In this, they are only partially supported by soldiers of the 30th OMSBR of the Russian Army. On the southern flank of Avdiivka from the settlement of Vodyane to Pervomaisk, and from the sands to Pervomaisk try to attack the 9th OMSBR of the first AK. The 114th OMSBR of the first AK is coming from the cheery to Avdiivka.
At the same time, the 1st OMSBR of the first AK operate in the area of the Experimental and Swamps, but there are soldiers of the 55th and 74th OMSBR 41st Army of the Russian Land Forces in the front. As for the area of the so-called industrial zone, there are units of the 1st OMSBR 1 AK and DRSHBR "Veterans", while Kovalenko evaluates their actions as "not particularly successful".
The expert noted that the occupation troops of the Russian Federation clearly retain their resource, accumulating forces in the Avdeevsky direction with the purpose of a more powerful breakthrough towards the settlement. In such actions, Kovalenko sees a political motive.
"Obviously, this is done to prepare a more powerful wave of the offensive to Avdiivka, so that before the so -called election of the President of Russia to close the issue of this location and give Putin the opportunity with this" victory "to go to the election," the observer said. According to him, the Russians intend to create a 60,000th group, after which the "most desperate offensive on Avdiivka" will begin.
However, it will take at least a month to the concentration of such forces on this area of the front, so the main strike of Russian troops can be expected from the second half of February. Earlier it was reported that according to ISW experts, there are shortcomings under the Russian troops near Avdiivka in terms of planning and coordination at tactical and operational levels.
