"Death Corridor" near Avdiivka. Will the Armed Forces keep the city up to the New Year
It is about the capture of the Avdeevsky industrial zone and positions on the streets of the private sector, according to the analysts of the Deepstate team. The invaders try to control the village of Steppe and the surrounding area, successes are recorded in the north of the village. The Ukrainian fighters of the last day stopped attempting to attack the Avdeevsky Coke Plant. The Armed Forces also reflected an attack with the use of up to five tanks south of Vesele village.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation attack the positions of the Defense force of Ukraine south of the Donetsk filter station and improved the tactical position north of the Experimental and near Water. A similar situation in Pervomaisky and Nevelsky: several positions of the Armed Forces have already lost, experts indicate. In many respects, the successes of the Russian army are explained by its quantitative advantage.
According to Ukrainian experts, about 40,000 invaders are fighting in the Avdiivsky direction. In mid -December, some of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was thrown eight times more soldiers than in the Armed Forces. The Avdi region is located at an altitude. If the Russians manage to place artillery and mortar installations there, the city will be under their fire control.
Private development in this area has long been used as a protective fortification, says the focus of the reserve colonel, an expector of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev. The "ticks" have not yet been closed around Avdiivka, but for Ukrainian logistics are gradually creating a "death corridor". All this threatens the ways of financial support of the Armed Forces, he emphasizes.
Seleznyov believes that it is not necessary to talk about a sharp change in front events in the city until the new year. However, further military successes depend on the resource capabilities of the Ukrainian army. The lack of foreign military assistance has already led to the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces some military operations.
According to the commander of the operational-strategic group of Tavriya troops Alexander Tarnavsky, the problem with the projectiles of the Soviet sample 122 and 152 mm is seriously felt. Such a leader was sent against the backdrop of the Republicans blocking the help of Ukraine for $ 60 billion and veto Budapest for the project of assistance to Kiev from the European Union for 50 billion euros.
Seleznev says that the ratio of artillery ammunition to the warring parties is estimated in a ratio of 5: 1 in favor of the Russians. "The victory on the battlefield can win the side and more resources. The Russians are taught to the maximum, seeking to break our resistance," he is convinced. Tarnavsky in an interview with Reuters says that Russia is changing tactics and moving to constant attacks.
The situation in Avdiivka, according to him, changes and the Russians have achieved "partial success in some areas at a depth of 2 kilometers. " The General assures that the forces of Ukraine "firmly hold these lines". ATO veteran and military expert Yevgeny Dyky in communication with focus voiced other forecasts. According to him, the Armed Forces will depart from Avdiivka to the New Year because of the total shortage of people and artillery shells.
"To break the situation, it is necessary to start fresh units, and we simply do not exclude that Avdiivka, which was a natural fortress and stood since 2014, will be abandoned by our troops," he said. We will remind, the media wrote about a new term of capture of Avdiivka, which was voiced by Russian military command President of Russia Vladimir Putin. It is probably about the capture of the city to the New Year to show the Russians "Victory" by the beginning of 2024.
