Moscow has taken the initiative: what the army of the Russian Federation is doing after Avdiivka - Bloomberg

Political strife in the West, according to the agency, aggravate the situation on the Ukrainian Front, where the Armed Forces feel a shortage of weapons. In turn, Russian troops are already trying to move further. After a long positioned deaf corner at the theater of hostilities in Ukraine, the Russian army seems to have taken the initiative. Against the backdrop of political strife in the western capitals, events are now unfolding in favor of Russia.

Bloomberg agencies were given this assessment of the latest military news in Ukraine. The authors of the material write that after the capture of the Russian troops by the Russian troops, the mood in Kiev has now deteriorated significantly. The situation is complicated by a shortage of weapons due to delays in the provision of military assistance.

"President Vladimir Zelensky has changed his military leadership against the backdrop of the dispute on the call of new soldiers and the strategy of fighting. His troops end with ammunition and weapons, and political strife in the western capitals restrained supplies and assistance," the observers say. While the West suspends further assistance to Ukraine, preventing its defense opportunities, Russia is moving forward in eastern Ukraine.

Journalists cited the chronology of events, reminding the readers the admiration of the Russian troops of Bakhmut in May last year, which was the most important achievement of Moscow in 2023. In their view, the occupation of February 17 Avdiivka, which was stormed on three sides for 5 months, will allow the Russians to move further west. "According to reports, the Russian army is already trying to move further to the nearby villages," the journalists write at the end.
