The first attempts of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation near Avdiivka in early October turned into an expensive failure: the Armed Forces declared thousands of losses of occupation groups of troops killed and hundreds of destroyed equipment. Russian troops continued to occur for several weeks.
The danger was threatened by the city located on the outskirts of Donetsk, not only during the full -scale invasion, but also since in 2014, the Russian Federation occupied Crimea and part of the Donbass. In March, the speaker of the Tavriysky Defense Forces Alexei Dmitrashkovsky, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom, warned that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation could storm on Avdiivka.
According to him, the enemy constantly tried to surround Avdiivka. He agreed with British colleagues that the city could soon become the second Bakhmut. The report published on the eve of the Report of the Institute of War Study (ISW) emphasizes that the Russian offensive on the city is ongoing and that the promotion in the northwestern area of the city is confirmed.
Russian "military" also reported that the area of the breed dump (Terkona), from where it is possible to control a large territory. According to representatives of Ukraine, the control of Terkic is denied. ISW believes that the Russian offensive is aimed at depleting Ukraine forces and distracting military resources from the offensive in Zaporizhzhya and Donetsk regions. Analysts also do not consider that the occupation group is surrounded by Avdiivka.
