"Cost thousands of victims": the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation advanced under Avdiivka - British intelligence
However, this progress had to pay thousands of human casualties among the units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This operation gradually brings Russian troops closer to the Avdeevsky Coke Plant, where Ukrainian troops retain one of their main defensive positions, the message reads.
"Although Avdiivka has become a performance on the Ukrainian Front line, Ukraine continues to control the corridor about 7 km wide, through which it continues to supply the city," the British Defense Ministry noted. It should be reminded that, according to military expert Mikhail Zhirokhov, the Russian military began to transfer all possible resources to the Avdiivka area. The occupation troops are tasked with taking the city before the annual message of the President of the Russian Federation.
