They want to hide the lack of progress: the Russian Federation is lying about the "active defense" of the invaders near Avdiivka - ISW

According to analysts, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is not sure of the ability of their troops to transform the achievements of a tactical level into promptly significant success. Russia's leadership lies that the occupiers are in "active defense" near Avdiivka. Yes, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation want to hide the lack of progress in the offensive. Analysts of the American Institute for War Study (ISW) reported.

The report of December 1 states that Russians cannot transform tactical achievements into promptly significant success. The head of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, Sergei Shoigu, stated that offensive actions in Ukraine are part of "active defense". He tries to reduce expectations for the ability of the Russians to achieve important success. According to analysts, on December 1, Shoig said that the Russians capture "more profitable" positions.

He noted the brigades, which, as they assume, operate in the eastern regions of Ukraine. "Russian officials deliberately mislead, calling these offensive actions part of" active defense "," analysts said. Experts noted that the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation should be pursued by a certain operational purpose if they openly stated that they were trying to capture Avdiivka.

However, apparently, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is not sure of the ability of their troops to transform the achievements of tactical levels into promptly significant success. Recall that the Major of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Maxim Morozov told that the Russians began the third wave of the offensive on Avdiivka. The enemy managed to capture a heater near the city, increase the gray zone between the villages of Krasnogorivka and Steppe.
